How the hidden epidemic of violence against nurses affects health care

82% Informative

American Nurses Association estimates only 20% to 60% of incidents are accounted for.

There is no agreed-upon definition for workplace violence or clear way of tracking it on a national level.

Violence may stem from patients, their families, co-workers or even disgruntled members of the public.

Jason Blomquist : When nurses are hypervigilant about their safety, they have less emotional energy for patient care.

When they are worried about what the next patient encounter may bring, they are increasing their anxiety, fear and stress.

You never know what your nurse is dealing with in their interactions with other patients.
