Aggression

Aggression

Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression. In contrast, instrumental aggression is motivated by achieving a goal and does not necessarily involve intent to cause pain (Berkowitz, 1993); a contract killer who murders for...

Molecular Models

Molecular Models

Physical models representing molecular architectures of chemical compounds play essential roles in understanding chemistry. The use of molecular models makes it easier to visualize the structures and shapes of atoms and molecules.

Bystander Effect

Bystander Effect

The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building. When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.

Egoism and Altruism

Egoism and Altruism

Voluntary behavior with the intent to help other people is called prosocial behavior. Why do people help other people? Is personal benefit such as feeling good about oneself the only reason people help one another?

Classification of Skeletal Muscle Fibers

Classification of Skeletal Muscle Fibers

Skeletal muscles continuously produce ATP to provide the energy that enables muscle contractions. Skeletal muscle fibers can be categorized into three types based on differences in their contraction speed and how they produce ATP, as well as physical differences related to these factors. Most human muscles contain all three muscle fiber types, albeit in varying proportions.
Slow-Twitch Muscle Fibers
Slow oxidative, muscle fibers appear red due to large numbers of capillaries and high levels of...

Empathy

Empathy

Some researchers suggest that altruism operates on empathy. Empathy is the capacity to understand another person’s perspective, to feel what he or she feels. An empathetic person makes an emotional connection with others and feels compelled to help (Batson, 1991). Empathy can be expressed in several ways, including cognitive, affective, and motor.

Area of Science:

Healthcare safety
Occupational health
Emergency preparedness

Background:

Workplace violence in healthcare settings is a growing national concern.
An interdisciplinary team developed a training model to address this issue.
The initial model included classroom learning, simulation, and self-defense.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and pilot a comprehensive training program for healthcare professionals to address workplace violence.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the revised training program, Violence: enABLE Yourself to Respond.
To assess improvements in employee preparedness and performance in simulated violent scenarios.

Main Methods:

Development and piloting of a revised training program: Violence: enABLE Yourself to Respond.
Inclusion of classroom learning, four distinct five-minute simulation scenarios (escalating behavior to active shooter), and debriefing.
Utilized standardized participants and pre- and post-training self-evaluations and expert performance evaluations.

Main Results:

Statistically significant positive difference in participants' self-perceived preparedness.
Statistically significant improvement in experts' evaluation of participants' performance.
Demonstrated effectiveness of the combined classroom and simulation training approach.

Conclusions:

The Violence: enABLE Yourself to Respond training program is an effective, evidence-based method for preparing healthcare employees to respond to workplace violence.
The training enhances both perceived preparedness and actual performance in simulated critical incidents.
The model, designed for acute care, is adaptable to other settings and beneficial for personal and professional life.
