In this study, we investigated the correlates of aggression among consumers with mental illness within two psychiatric hospitals in Jordan. This was a descriptive, cross sectional study carried out by auditing consumers' medical records in regards to incidents of aggression before and during admission. Approval was gained from 203 next of kins to review the consumers' medical records. Results from this case analysis, found the prevalence of aggressive behaviours among psychiatric inpatient's in Jordan to be 23.6%, the most common form of aggression was consumer to consumer and that the aggressive act was more likely to be perpetrated by younger consumers. Such findings contribute to the discourse about aggression and understanding who and what causes aggression can go toward identify strategies for early intervention and management. After all, mental health units should be places of safety, that is, an asylum, and everyone who enters that environment deserves to be safe.
在本研究中，我们调查了约旦两家精神病院内患有精神疾病的消费者之间攻击行为的相关因素。这是一项描述性横断面研究，通过审核消费者入院前和入院期间攻击事件的病历进行。获得了203名近亲的批准以查阅消费者的病历。该案例分析的结果发现，约旦精神病住院患者中攻击行为的发生率为23.6%，最常见的攻击形式是消费者对消费者，并且攻击行为更有可能由年轻消费者实施。这些发现有助于有关攻击行为的讨论，了解谁以及什么导致攻击行为有助于确定早期干预和管理策略。毕竟，精神卫生单位应该是安全的地方，即庇护所，每个进入该环境的人都应该是安全的。
