Violence against nurses is an on-going issue in healthcare settings, and is regularly documented in the literature. Assessing the potential for violence against nurses in the emergency department is essential to maintain their safety. The aim of this study was to develop a violence assessment tool by refining a list of predictive cues identified from both a previous study and existing literature. Using the Delphi technique, a panel of 11 expert nurse academics and clinicians developed a 37-item questionnaire and used three rounds of Delphi to refine the violence assessment questionnaire. The resulting tool comprises 17 cues of potential violence that can be easily observed and requires no prior knowledge of the perpetrators' medical history.
在医疗环境中，针对护士的暴力行为是一个持续存在的问题，并且在文献中经常有记载。评估急诊科针对护士的暴力可能性对于维护她们的安全至关重要。本研究的目的是通过完善从先前研究和现有文献中识别出的一系列预测线索，开发一种暴力评估工具。采用德尔菲技术，由11名专家护士学者和临床医生组成的小组编制了一份包含37个条目的问卷，并通过三轮德尔菲法对暴力评估问卷进行完善。最终形成的工具包含17个潜在暴力线索，这些线索易于观察，且无需了解施暴者的病史。
