Summary Of Violence And Aggressive Behavior
This chapter introduces researched papers that have been re-evaluated and analysed for the purpose of this project. The chapter will cover the triggers that lead to violence and aggression on healthcare professionals or peers by dual diagnosis service users, the patients’ and staff perspectives on managing violence and aggression safely and the current best practice in the management of violent and aggressive behaviour (see table 2). The suggestions from various literatures brought across will form part of the evidence based intervention that clinicians can use in minimising episodes of violence and aggression.
Violence and aggression are experienced by both staff and service users across mental health services. This can lead to both staff …show more content…
Additionally, the service user’s risk assessment and care plan will be reviewed to ensure that safeguards are put in place. CQC (2014) in response to a consultation on the MHA Code of Practice 1983 highlighted the need for patients to be permitted to have their views of the events documented. The study further suggested that this should be done within 24 hours of the event having taken place. The staff can seek to find this out from the patients using various methods, for instance through a questionnaire (see appendix 2).
According to Stevenson et al. (2015) nurses with vast experience in managing patterns of violent and aggressive behaviour were more proficient and relaxed in their care delivery. Staff with more skills and experience in tackling violence and aggression are viewed to have much confidence that permits them to provide care safely to patients in difficult circumstances (Campbell et al., …show more content…
It appeared issues identified from literature were relevant across countries in the subject area and the results were based on different settings (see table 2). However, there was variation in sample size which is likely to affect the reliability and key findings of the research. Parohoo (2014) argues that a research with large sample size provides a reliable outcome and a representation of the population sample. The findings do provide assurance because of the aspect of generalisability. Nevertheless, in a small sample size it is likely to produce outcomes that are false-positive (Polit and Beck,
