| ABSTRACT |
Purpose:
The Korean Intern Resident Association and Korean Society of Emergency Medicine announced the ‘Hospital violence response system’ to secure patient safety and provide a health care provider countermeasures against hospital violence. The aim of this study is to investigate the response to hospital violence in the ER and which measures could improve the current status.
Method:
Emergency medicine residents in the Seoul, Incheon, Kyung-gi area participated in the survey. The questionnaire included 4 categories (1. Awareness of protocol, 2. Experience and countermeasure for hospital violence, 3. Understanding of protocol, 4. Suggestions to improve against hospital violence)
Results:
Among 362 candidates, 236 (65.2%) participated in the survey. Only 7.6% of residents have not experienced hospital violence. In the group of people who were aware of the protocol, participants tended to be more familiar with processes of the hospital violence response protocol, and willing to deal with violence using a better systematic support. People did not counteract to hospital violence because the process was thought to be too complicated. Only 63 participants were actively involved in an official course for countermeasure. Participants suggested that police should deal more appropriately with hospital violence.
Conclusion:
The hospital violence response protocol is thought to have a positive effect on appropriate management of hospital violence. However, a multi-disciplinary approach to hospital violence from the hospital, police, and judicial authority should be developed. |
