National Conference for Workplace Violence Prevention and Management in Healthcar

描述(申请人提供)：工作场所暴力(WPV)是医护人员面临的一个严重且日益严重的问题。工作场所暴力包括不文明行为、欺凌行为、言语和身体攻击、威胁性言语或行为、性骚扰和身体攻击。尽管WPV研究近年来有所增长，但医疗保健领域的WPV研究人员缺乏会面和分享发现、理论和模型的机会。目前，WPV的研究人员很少，而且分散在美国各地。现在比以往任何时候都更需要在美国举行一次会议，在那里，领导者、创新者、教育工作者和研究人员可以聚集在一起，建立多学科团队，并分享与WPV相关的预防、管理和恢复方面的战略、潜在解决方案、教育材料、最佳实践和研究结果。拟议的会议与国家职业研究议程(NORA)促进安全和健康工作场所的具体计划和战略特别相关。本次会议的具体目标是(1)讨论当前针对医护人员的不文明、欺凌、言语和身体攻击、威胁言论或行为、性骚扰和身体攻击的流行病学；(2)评估旨在预防和减少来访者、患者、同事和亲密伴侣对医护人员的工作场所暴力的发生率和后遗症的干预计划；以及(3)分析2000年爱荷华大学伤害预防研究中心峰会期间提出的问题是否得到解决。为期两天半的会议将包括四次主旨演讲/全体会议、论文会议、三次海报会议、一次研究人员网络会议和一次旨在就WPV研究的科学状况达成共识的小组讨论。会议策划委员会将是一个多学科小组，由来自医学、护理、药房和精神病学/心理学的代表组成。第一个和第二个具体目标/会议目标将通过会议计划评估进行评估。平均得分为3.00或更高(Likert得分从0-强烈不同意到4-强烈同意)将表明成功实现了特定目标。小组讨论的文字记录将汇总并记录在会议的最后报告中。最后的报告将通过反映与2000年WPV峰会报告有关的WPV研究的科学状况来解决第三个具体目标。 与公共健康相关：保健和社会援助理事会制定了一项国家职业研究议程(NORA)具体计划和战略，以促进安全和健康的工作场所。本次会议拨款申请的目标将通过讨论流行病学和评估与工作场所暴力有关的干预计划来满足NORA计划和战略。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Workplace violence (WPV) is a serious and growing problem for healthcare workers. Workplace violence includes acts of incivility, bullying, verbal and physical aggression, threatening words or actions, sexual harassment, and physical assaults. Although WPV research has grown in recent years, there has been a lack of opportunities for WPV researchers in the healthcare sector to meet and share findings, theories, and models. Currently WPV researchers are few and scattered throughout the U.S. Now more than ever there is a critical need for a U.S. based conference to be held where the leaders, innovators, educators, and researchers can come together to network, build multi-disciplinary teams, and share strategies, potential solutions, educational materials, best practices, and findings related to the prevention, management, and recovery associated with WPV. The proposed conference is specifically relevant to the National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) specific plan and strategy to promote safe and healthy workplaces. The specific objectives of this conference are to (1) Discuss the current epidemiology of incivility, bullying, verbal and physical aggression, threatening words or actions, sexual harassment, and physical assaults enacted against healthcare workers, (2) Evaluate intervention programs aimed at preventing and reducing the incidence and sequelae of workplace violence against healthcare workers by visitors, patients, coworkers, and intimate partners, and (3) Analyze whether the questions raised during the University of Iowa Injury Prevention Research Center summit of 2000 have been addressed. The 2 1/2 day conference will include four keynote speaker/plenary sessions, paper sessions, three poster sessions, a researcher networking session, and a panel discussion aiming to build consensus regarding the state of the science for WPV research. The conference planning committee will be a multi-disciplinary group with representatives from medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and psychiatry/psychology. The 1st and 2nd specific aims/conference objectives will be evaluated by the conference program evaluations. A mean score of 3.00 or greater (Likert scores ranging from 0-strongly disagree to 4-strongly agree) will indicate successfully meeting the specific aims. Transcripts for the panel discussion will be summarized and documented in the conference's final report. The final report will address the 3rd specific aim by reflecting the state of the science for WPV research relating back to the 2000 WPV summit report. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Healthcare and Social Assistance Council established a National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) specific plan and strategy to promote safe and healthy workplaces. The objectives of this conference grant submission will meet the NORA plan and strategy by discussing the epidemiology and evaluating intervention programs related to workplace violence.
