Abstract

Aggression against health care workers is a growing international issue. Nurses are especially vulnerable to the problem by virtue of the time involved in patient care. There are currently few programs available to train nurses in managing aggressive behavior, says the author. This study was designed to measure the effectiveness of an aggressive behavior management inservice on nurses' levels of knowledge and feelings of safety and confidence.
