A rapid evidence assessment on prevention and reporting in nurses experiences of workplace violence

Papers conclude several facilitators and barriers at personal, organisational and societal levels in their experiences of preventing and reporting WPV. Effectively preventing WPV requires organisational support through the implementation of robust training programmes and the presence of visible security staff. Addressing barriers to reporting WPV, such as inadequate training by management and nurses experiencing burnout, necessitates organisational changes. These changes should include improved education on mitigating WPV beyond high-risk setting, as well as fostering closer collaboration between security personnel and nursing staff.
