Estimate the effect of nursing, shift, and patient characteristics on patients' aggression.
Follow-up study on a closed psychiatric ward was performed to estimate the effect of nursing team characteristics and patient characteristics on the incidence of aggression.
The incidence of aggression (n = 802 in sample) was lower in teams with >75% male nurses. Teams scoring high on extraversion experienced more verbal aggression and teams scoring high on neuroticism experienced more physical aggression. Younger patients and/or involuntarily admitted patients were more frequently aggressive.
These findings could stimulate support for nurses to prevent aggression.
评估护理、班次和患者特征对患者攻击行为的影响。
对封闭式精神科病房进行随访研究,以评估护理团队特征和患者特征对攻击行为发生率的影响。
攻击行为发生率(样本中 802 例)在男护士比例>75%的团队中较低。外向得分较高的团队经历更多的言语攻击,神经质得分较高的团队经历更多的身体攻击。年轻患者和/或非自愿入院患者更频繁地出现攻击行为。
这些发现可以鼓励支持护士预防攻击行为。
