Chamberlain College of Nursing NR439 PPE Worksheet Problem/PICOT/Evidence Search (PPE) Worksheet Name: Date:7/26/2020 CriteriaOne problem that exists in health care that falls under not only patient safety but also staff safety is violence and abuse towards nurses. Violence and abuse towards staff not only put the patients and staff in the immediate danger of vio- lence but also adds on many unseen affects. The violence/abuse can disrupt the therapeutic relationship between staff and the patient. Abuse can also leave the patient in an isolation feeling of staff not wanting to be around the patient or the patient being restrained, all of which does not lead to promotion of health and healing. Abuse can also lead to lateral violence between staff and leave staff to have poor rating of job satisfaction. The results of abuse can cause er- rors in practice, unintentionally, such as medication errors, poor performance, and poor clinical decision making. In the Emergency department violence is higher than any other area in health care setting. Many nurses can often per- ceive abuse as part of the job. Studies have found that nurses report patient and visitors’ violence in ranges from 48.6 to 65.9% and in emergency depart- ments as high as 76.0% (Berlanda et al., 2019). Other studies have shown nurses report psychological violence at a prevalence of 60.2 % (Berlanda et al., 2019).Another study found that 31.5% of hospital staff experienced physical vi- olence (Berlanda et al., 2019). So, it is easy to note that violence/abuse are still very prevalent in hospitals and a big difference can be seen in the area of the Emergency Department. Violence/abuse should not be something that should be seen in hospitals; however, it is something that probably will never be com- pletely mitigated due to human behavior. However, the rate seen of this far sur- passes what should be deemed acceptable. Violence/abuse can lead to immedi- ate safety issues for patients and staff but also disrupts many other aspects of care for not only the patient creating the violence/abuse but other patients onClinical Nursing Prac-tice Problem Select and identify ONLYonequalityor safety clinical priority area from the assign- ment guidelines practice scenario.
