In order to estimate rates and identify risk factors for assaults on employees of a state psychiatric hospital, we examined workers' compensation claims, hospital-recorded incident reports, and data collected in a survey of ward staff. Results revealed 13.8 workers' compensation claims due to assault per 100 employees per year. Assaults were responsible for 60% of total claims. Incident reports revealed 35 injuries due to assault per 100 employees per year. Survey data revealed 415 injuries due to assault per 100 employees per year. Of the respondents, 73% reported at least a minor injury during the past year. Assault management training in the past year was associated with less severe injuries. Working in isolation, the occupation of mental health technician, and working on the geriatric-medical hospital unit were associated with more severe injuries during the past year. Assaults on staff in psychiatric hospitals represent a significant and underrecognized occupational hazard.
为了估计一家州立精神病医院员工遭受袭击的发生率并确定风险因素，我们审查了工伤赔偿申请、医院记录的事件报告以及在对病房工作人员的调查中收集的数据。结果显示，每年每100名员工中有13.8起因袭击导致的工伤赔偿申请。袭击占总索赔的60%。事件报告显示，每年每100名员工中有35起因袭击导致的受伤。调查数据显示，每年每100名员工中有415起因袭击导致的受伤。在受访者中，73%报告在过去一年中至少受过一次轻伤。过去一年接受袭击管理培训与受伤程度较轻有关。在过去一年中，单独工作、心理健康技术员职业以及在老年医学医院科室工作与更严重的受伤有关。精神病医院工作人员遭受的袭击是一种重大且未得到充分认识的职业危害。
