    Background:

    • Patient physical assault is a significant issue in psychiatric settings.
    • Understanding nursing staff attitudes is crucial for managing patient aggression.
    • Limited research exists on psychiatric nurses' perspectives regarding patient assaults.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To survey psychiatric nurses' attitudes towards patient physical assault.
    • To explore attitudes concerning staff competence, legal aspects, patient responsibility, and safety.
    • To analyze how these attitudes influence nursing staff and colleagues.

    Main Methods:

    • A self-report questionnaire was administered to 184 psychiatric nurses.
    • Data collection focused on attitudes related to patient assault incidents.
    • Findings were interpreted in the context of existing literature on patient assaults.

    Main Results:

    • Attitudes among nursing staff regarding the legal aspects of patient assault showed considerable variation.
    • Survey data revealed diverse perspectives on staff competence, patient responsibility, and safety.
    • The study identified a notable influence of these attitudes on assaulted staff and their colleagues.

    Conclusions:

    • Psychiatric nurses' attitudes towards patient assault are varied, particularly concerning legal implications.
    • These attitudes significantly impact the well-being of assaulted nurses and the dynamics among colleagues.
    • Further research and interventions are needed to address these complex attitudinal landscapes.
