Article Abstract
Verbal deescalation training is lacking in nurse residency programs. This results in inability to mediate violent events, increased staff injury, and decreased job satisfaction. Training in verbal deescalation promotes confidence, satisfaction, and safety. Nurses participated in didactic and simulated verbal deescalation training resulting in an increase in verbal deescalation confidence of 1.6 on a 1-10 Likert scale. Meaningful verbal deescalation training increases confidence and could reduce workplace violence as well as improve workplace safety and job satisfaction.

Understanding the drivers of seclusion and physical restraint supports the work towards minimising their use in acute mental health units. However, evidence on their most important drivers remains limited and is focused mainly on individual-level features. Employing 249 days of 917 contemporaneous records of nurse de-escalation events in one adult inpatient unit in regional Australia, from January 2019 to March 2020, twenty-three features other than individual demographic, dispositional, and diagnostic factors were extracted.

Mechanical restraint (MR) is a significant ethical and clinical concern in psychiatric care and should be avoided whenever possible. A commonly recommended strategy to avoid MR, which is not yet strongly evidence-based, is verbal de-escalation (VD). This naturalistic observational study included individuals with schizophrenia who were involuntarily transferred from their homes to the emergency room by a specialized psychiatric home care team between 2008 and 2020.

Introduction: Violence against healthcare workers is a frequently researched topic because of its impact on hospital quality. However, studies focusing specifically on children’s hospitals are rarer. Workplace violence reduces the effectiveness of hospital services and the perception of aggression is a social psychological process that becomes particularly complex when a sick child is involved in the interaction.

Workplace aggression includes behaviours or actions that are meant to inflict harm or injury, verbally or physically, to another person. Exposure to aggressive behaviour is associated with negative work-related outcomes and higher levels of coercive measures in mental health care facilities.
