Thirty-one psychiatric residents at Los Angeles County-University of Southern California Medical Center were interviewed to ascertain whether they had been attacked by patients, and if so, under what conditions. Forty-eight per cent reported having been attacked, and most believed an incident frustrating to the patient triggered the attack. Personality characteristics of the residents were related to their being attacked, in that residents who scored high on an interview scale that measured a resident's level of irritability were more likely to be attacked. Implications of the findings are briefly discussed.
对洛杉矶县南加州大学医学中心的31名精神科住院医师进行了访谈，以确定他们是否曾遭到患者攻击，若有，是在何种情况下。48%的人报告曾遭到攻击，且大多数人认为令患者感到沮丧的事件引发了攻击行为。住院医师的性格特征与他们是否遭到攻击有关，即那些在一项衡量住院医师易怒程度的访谈量表上得分较高的住院医师更有可能遭到攻击。本文简要讨论了这些研究结果的意义。
