N2  - BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The Assault (Violence) Response Questionnaire has been used widely in the United States, Europe, Asia, and Africa since the 1980s. The purpose is to update the ARQ. <br><br>METHOD: Specifically the ARQ-R has been expanded to include verbal assault and withholding information, more extensively tested for reliability and validity, and shortened. <br><br>RESULTS: The scale was reduced from 88 to 33 items and yet had the same high reliability and validity as did the larger scale. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: The reduction in size makes it much less time consuming to complete, making it an instrument that very busy nurses can more easily use. The ARQ-R can be used for nurses measuring assault in both hospital and community settings.<br><br>© Copyright 2019 Springer Publishing Company, LLC.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
