Author: Emergency Nurses Association. Institute for Emergency Nursing Research Title: Emergency Department Violence Surveillance Study Summary: Nine hundred deaths and 1.7 million nonfatal assaults occur each year in the United States due to workplace violence. These numbers represent only the most serious physical violent incidents; the extent to which all types of violence are experienced in the workplace remains unknown. Workplace violence is a serious concern for emergency nurses. Due to under-reporting, the occurrence of physical violence and verbal abuse toward emergency nurses remains not well understood. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the actual extent of violence and aggression toward emergency nurses. Launched in May 2009, the Emergency Department Violence Surveillance (EDVS) Study collects ongoing objective data allows for tracking changes related to violence toward emergency nurses as well as the processes used to respond to violence. Specifically, the EDVS Study was established to investigate: • The extent of the occurrence of various types of workplace violence toward emergency nurses from patients and visitors on any given day. • The extent of under-reporting of workplace violence toward emergency nurses from patients and visitors. • The current reporting mechanisms, if any, for violence toward emergency nurses. • The current processes, if any, used to respond to violence toward emergency nurses. • Trends in violence toward emergency nurses over time. The EDVS study utilizes a cross-sectional online survey to determine the prevalence and nature of workplace violence experienced by emergency nurses during the previous seven days. This report represents analysis of data collected approximately three months apart, from May 2009 to January 2011 during which 7,169 emergency nurses participated. Major findings are highlighted below: • With respect to overall physical violence verbal abuse trends across the eight rounds of data, no linear trend component was detected. • The overall frequency of physical violence and verbal abuse during a seven-day period (during which the participants worked an average of 36.9 hours in an emergency department) was fairly high (54.5%) across all rounds. Participants reported experiencing physical violence (with/without verbal abuse) (12.1%) and verbal abuse only (42.5%), during the seven-day period. • The majority of the participants who were victims of workplace violence did not file a formal event report for the physical violence or the verbal abuse. • The presence of reporting policies (especially zero-tolerance policies), was associated with a lower odds of physical violence and verbal abuse. • Nurses whose hospital administration and ED management are committed to workplace violence control are less likely to experience workplace violence. Ongoing research is needed to further determine the extent of underreporting, the incidence and prevalence of workplace violence, and the factors associated with the occurrence of workplace violence against emergency nurses. The continued collection of data through the EDVS study will provide further insight toward addressing these research needs. Details: Des Plaines, IL: Emergency Nurses Association, 2011. 60p.
