Management of Violence and Aggression

Management of Violence and Aggression by Tom Mason Bsc Rgn Rmn Rnmh

Nurses and others in the front-line(paramedics, ambulance staff, hospital and GP receptionists, social workers etc) are reporting an increasing incidence of violence and aggression from patients/clients. Some of these outbursts have resulted in permanent injury, even death, to the health care worker. The book is structured so that the notion of violence becomes more explicit with each succeeding chapter, until finally the violent outburst arrives. It offers practical prevention and management strategies, based on sound research, and provides a comprehensive view of the problem which will be of value to people working in a variety of clinical situations.Topical, vital subject Excellent mix of theory and practiceWide appeal to a variety of nurses and other professionals
