About clinical judgment of nursing staffs received the violence from inpatient, nursing staffs didn't analyze inpatient's problems based on knowledge such as observed information. Nursing staffs judged from standards of a prejudice and a small number of staffs. Nursing staffs had negative feelings such as fear and anger when received the violence from inpatient.

On the other hand nursing staffs considered next countermeasures and felt keenly the immaturity of own judgment for receiving the violence from inpatients.
