Links between violence, aggression, and mental illness are well documented. Despite this association, our current understanding of the causation and optimal treatment of aggression remains limited. This lack of knowledge is alarming because nurses treating patients with mentally illness are frequent targets of patient aggression. Consequently, the aim of this article is to provide contemporary information regarding the concept of patient aggression, assessment of violent behavior, and implementation of treatment interventions. A review of pharmacological and psychosocial strategies are presented as well. These findings provide psychiatric nurses with a conceptual model as well as practical interventions for patient aggression.
暴力、攻击行为与精神疾病之间的联系已有充分记录。尽管存在这种关联，但我们目前对攻击行为的病因及最佳治疗方法的理解仍然有限。这种知识的匮乏令人担忧，因为治疗精神疾病患者的护士经常成为患者攻击行为的目标。因此，本文旨在提供有关患者攻击行为概念、暴力行为评估及治疗干预措施实施的当代信息。同时还介绍了药物和心理社会策略的综述。这些研究结果为精神科护士提供了一个关于患者攻击行为的概念模型以及实用的干预措施。
