Verbal aggression, property damage and physical violence are the most frequently experienced forms of violence as perpetrated directly towards remote area nurses, with statistically significant positive correlations between all types of workplace violence and PTSD symptoms. Verbal aggression, physical violence and property damage are the most commonly witnessed forms of violence occurring between other people. Statistically significant positive correlations were also found between each type of witnessed violence and PTSD symptoms, excluding sexual abuse\/assault. Nurses working in very remote regions in Australia are fearful for their personal safety.<br \/>\nConclusion: Working in fear for your personal safety can function as a major occupational stressor. The research has implications for the implementation of workplace policies that target the identification, management and prevention of violence in the remote area nursing workforce.<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Tessa Opie<\/li>\n<li>Sue Lenthall<\/li>\n<li>Maureen Dollard<\/li>\n<li>John Wakerman<\/li>\n<li>Martha MacLeod<\/li>\n<li>Sabina Knight<\/li>\n<li>Sandra Dunn<\/li>\n<li>Greg Rickard<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>remote area nurse, workplace violence, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: Trends in workplace violence in the remote area nursing workforce Original Article Link: Read&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[4894,4290,4432],"class_list":["post-7591","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-post-traumatic-stress-disorder-ptsd","tag-remote-area-nurse","tag-workplace-violence","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
