Workplace violence (WPV) in healthcare remains a critical concern, and most healthcare workers will experience violence—physical acts, verbal intimidation, harassment, or threatening statements—committed by patients.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and The Joint Commission recommend that healthcare facilities implement training programs to prepare staff in the event of WPV. However, research and training alone won’t address the issue. Nurses require evidence-based tools not only for their safety but also to ensure they remain in their role and the profession. Nurse educators, who have responsibility for educating and preparing nurses for the workplace, should begin WPV training in nursing school to prepare new nurses for the workplace.
