Abstract
|
|
|
The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics of violent experiences, the types of responses to violent experiences, the coping methods among nurses working in long-term care hospitals. Data were collected using structured questionnaires from 226 nurses in 12 long-term care hospitals in J province. Data collection was performed between April 15, 2016 and April 29, 2016. The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and χ2-test. Of all the respondents, 55.8% had experienced violence in the past 1 year. Of the perpetrators of the violence, 54.6% and 60.0%, were aged 65 and over and had cognitive functional decline, respectively. The most frequent type of violence was verbal abuse(90.5%). Following the violent experiences, emotional responses had the highest score(2.8±0.8). The major coping behavior was “told their peers(84.1%)”, followed by “disregarded it and worked although it felt bad(75.4%)”. These results indicate the need to establish systems for violence prevention and coping, as well as applicable educational programs, tailored to
the circumstances of long-term care hospitals and the characteristics of their patients.
