The purpose of this descriptive study was to describe occupational health nurses' beliefs about workplace violence and violence prevention education. The study examined what nurses believe about their intentions and ability to provide violence prevention education, as well as barriers they perceive to providing such programs. A survey was sent to a random sample of 700 members of the AAOHN; 357 surveys were used for data analysis. The study found that many occupational health nurses believe they and their companies are at risk for violence. In addition, many of the occupational health nurses had experienced harassment, threats, or assaults at their workplaces during the previous 12 months. Few occupational health nurses had provided violence prevention programs in their workplaces or intended to provide such programs during the following 12 months. The largest barrier to providing violence prevention education was the employer did not recognize violence prevention education as part of the nurse's job responsibilities.
这项描述性研究的目的是描述职业健康护士对工作场所暴力和暴力预防教育的看法。该研究考察了护士对其提供暴力预防教育的意图和能力的看法，以及他们认为提供此类项目存在的障碍。向美国职业健康护士协会（AAOHN）的700名成员随机抽取样本发送了调查问卷；357份调查问卷用于数据分析。研究发现，许多职业健康护士认为他们自己以及所在公司都面临暴力风险。此外，许多职业健康护士在过去12个月内在工作场所遭受过骚扰、威胁或攻击。很少有职业健康护士在其工作场所提供过暴力预防项目，或打算在接下来的12个月内提供此类项目。提供暴力预防教育的最大障碍是雇主不认为暴力预防教育是护士工作职责的一部分。
