Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Administration
  • Occupational Safety
  • Nursing

Background:

  • Hospitals require workplace violence prevention programs.
  • Inconsistent reporting processes hinder program evaluation.
  • The Violent Event Severity Tool (VEST) was developed for standardized violence data collection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the usefulness and relevance of the Violent Event Severity Tool (VEST).
  • To evaluate VEST's utility in standardizing violence data collection and reporting in hospitals.

Main Methods:

  • Survey administered to 96 healthcare workers at the 2022 Magnet® conference.
  • The VEST tool assesses 6 types and 4 intensities of violent incidents.

Main Results:

  • Most participants found VEST easy to use (79%), relevant (85%), and useful (85%).
  • Satisfaction with existing incident reporting processes was low (<50%).
  • Reporting rates for physical assaults increased with severity: 38% for grade 1, 70% for grade 3, and 100% for grade 4.

Conclusions:

  • The VEST is a valuable tool for consistent collection and reporting of workplace violence.
  • VEST enhances the evaluation of hospital violence prevention programs.
  • The tool effectively captures diverse types and severities of violent events.
