Nurses are more likely to report violent incidents in psychiatric hospitals when the violence is severe and has significant consequences. This finding highlights the need for better reporting policies to address workplace violence in mental healthcare settings.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Psychiatric Care
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Rising rates of violent incidents in psychiatric hospitals pose significant risks to healthcare professionals.
  • High percentages of nurses (75% mental health, 85% general) report experiencing threats.
  • Inconsistent incident reporting is suspected to hinder the development of effective prevention policies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate factors influencing nurses' reporting behavior regarding violent incidents.
  • To test hypotheses related to the determinants of incident reporting among nurses.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized questionnaire data to collect information from nurses.
  • Employed statistical analysis to test three specific hypotheses.
