20 Cause and Effect

21

22 Barriers to Reporting HWPV Underreporting is due in part to a health care culture that is resistant to the belief that providers are at risk for patient-initiated violence and to a complacency in thinking that violence is part of the job. McPhaul KM, Lipscomb JA. Workplace violence in health care: recognized but not regulated. Online J Issues Nursing 2004; 9: 7

23 Barriers to Reporting HWPV No reporting mechanism in place Reporting takes to long No follow up to reports because nobody cares Lack of police support Lack of administrative support Complacency Fear of retribution from supervisors Complexity of the legal system and court time Fear of reprisal from the assailant

24 You want fries with that? the current intense focus on customer service in health care serves as a deterrent to reporting workplace violence, since the concept of customer service results in the mentality that the customer is always right. Blando J, Ridenour M, Hartley D, Casteel C. Barriers to effective implementation of programs for the prevention of workplace violence in hospitals. Online J Issues Nurs 2015
