Reports of attempted or actual physical assaults by patients in the inpatient, outpatient, and emergency settings of a psychiatric facility within a general hospital were prospectively surveyed during a one-year period. Among 397 patients discharged during the period, 46 patients were responsible for 133 violent incidents. Most incidents occurred on the locked inpatient unit during the daytime and after the first week of admission. Schizophrenia was the only diagnosis significantly associated with violence. Hitting was the most prevalent form of violence, and nurses were the most frequent targets.
在一年的时间里，对一家综合医院精神科住院部、门诊部和急诊科患者实施或实际发生身体攻击行为的报告进行了前瞻性调查。在该期间出院的397名患者中，46名患者引发了133起暴力事件。大多数事件发生在日间上锁的住院病房，且在入院第一周之后。精神分裂症是与暴力行为显著相关的唯一诊断。殴打是最常见的暴力形式，护士是最常被攻击的对象。
