I
tract workplace violence (WPV), policy through my professional organization, American
Psychiatric Nurse Association (APNA) WPV affects employees, patients and the
large community. WPV refers to physical acts of violence or threats to harm a
person or property. Abusive behavior, whether verbal, psychological or
physical, are also considered violence.
WPV
policy aims to develop programs, and supporting policies, that disseminate and
promote knowledge, skills, and appropriate use of evidence-based, data-driven
process for assessing, mitigating, and managing human behavior that compromise
the safety and effectiveness of the new psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner
residents in the clinical setting.
Evidence
showed that new nurses are more prone to WPV compared to the older and
experienced nurses in the clinical setting. There is also evidence that WPV
policies and procedure put in place to guide and support new graduates’ nurses
has shown a remarkable reduction in anxiety and improve staff confidence in
their new nursing roles.
