1 Preventing Workplace Violence Nurses Voices Being Heard Gail Bromley, PhD, RN Rose Anne Berila, MSN, RN October 21, 2016 Workplace Violence in Healthcare: Is it a Problem? A nurse asks the question, Who is the wolf at the door? Is it: Menacing behavior? An active shooter? Incivility from a supervisor or colleague? A violent patient? Statistics 80% of nurses report having experienced some form of attack by a patient/family member. Annually, 9,200 of healthcare workers report workplace violence incidents perpetrated by patients/family members which require time away from work to recover. 67% of all nonfatal violence-related injuries are in healthcare settings that are represented by 11.5% of all workers. (NIOSH-National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, 2013) 1 4 Effects of Workplace Violence on Nurses The speaker has no conflicts of interest to disclose. Significant impact Serious physical injuries Temporary and permanent physical disability Psychological trauma and PTSD Death Negative individual and organizational outcomes Low morale Increased job stress Increased turnover Reduced trust of management, colleagues Hostile healthcare environment 2 5 Objectives 1. Utilize assessment and individualized clinical interventions to pre-empt violence. 2. Determine effective strategies to implement a QI study that decreases violence on a medical surgical unit. Nurses Voice Safety Concerns Be assessed and access resources related to assault. Report assault to the police. Copy photographs of injuries, reports and chronological account of incident. Investigate legal rights to prosecute perpetrators. Debrief/Counsel with professional. Advocate for safety. 3 6 Bromley 1
2 Massachusetts Nursing Association Mandate to Improve Nurse Safety/Security Improved access control to buildings. Signs at all hospital entrances notify entrants that weapons are prohibited and video surveillance is in effect. Additional panic alarms installed, with training for staff and regular testing. Staff training to include online, live discussion and/or mock drills regarding personal safety, self-defense, security awareness, active shooter, threat assessment, de-escalation, SAFE response, codes, crisis protocols. Supervisors will contact nurses affected by workplace violence and ensure that nurses receive medical/psychological care. Code Violet Team Members Nurse caring for patient Emergency Psychiatric Access Team (EPAT) UH Police Code White (rapid response) Nurse Nursing Supervisor Clinical Interventions Minimize the stress/distress caused by a violent patient to maintain safety and security of all patients, visitors, and staff. De-escalate a combative, abusive and/or potentially dangerous situation; assist the patient to regain self-control. Intervene when staff, at any time, feels their safety is or may be threatened. Intervene when initial measures to distract/de-escalate a situation have failed and there is risk of harm to self/others Nurses Develop Competencies through Education Code Violet Five Year Trends Language to de escalate patient In person training-crisis Prevention Institute (CPI) Online training-niosh-cdc website Activate Code Violets, clinical interventions to manage violence Utilize state law to report workplace assaults 8 11 A Steering Committee is Born The Tide is Rising: Impact on the Healthcare Environment University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center signage We will not tolerate any form of threatening or aggressive behavior toward our staff. Assaults against our staff might result in a felony conviction. All staff have the right to carry out their work without fear of their safety. Workplace Violence Steering Committee Purpose: Representative group of various roles and work locations charged with guiding continuous enhancement of safety through a focus on specific areas: policies, employee education and culture change. Members: Director UH Psychiatry Service Line and Nursing Practice, UH Police Director, QI Director, Risk Manager, Human Resources staff, Nurse Managers, Occupational Safety staff, EPAT Manager (Code Violet Team), Educators, Psychiatric Mental Health CNS, Legal Counsel Northeast Ohio has an inadequate number of psychiatric inpatient beds, requiring boarding of patients with psychiatric diagnoses/comorbidities on medical-surgical units. In 2015, 579 patients with psychiatric diagnoses were boarded on medical-surgical units. From 10/2014 to 10/2015, 100 Code Violets were called on medical-surgical units, with 61% of the patients requiring two or more Code Violets. 49%-patients with psychiatric diagnoses 57%- patients with history of substance abuse 51% patients with medical diagnoses only 9 12 Bromley 2
3 Organizational Readiness Assessment Broset Violence Checklist Decision Tree Environment and Culture Units experiencing higher rates of patient violence Emergency Department Medical Surgical Units Cancer Center Zero Tolerance of Workplace Violence Nurses and staff members safety concerns Code Violet Team responds to violent incidents Why Implement a QI focused on Violence? Stakeholders Experiences Patients- Expect zero violence in a healing environment. Nurses- Perceive culture as unsupportive. Physicians- Perceive to be at risk when incidents of violence occur. Security- Aware of responsibility to ensure safety for all. Administrators- Concern about violence within the hospital. 14 Broset Violence Checklist QI Pilot Project Background Violent behavior on psychiatric units is managed on contained units. Predictive assessment tools such as the Broset Violence Checklist (BVC) provide data for individualized therapeutic clinical interventions. Throughout the United States, delivery of care challenges are associated with psychiatric bed shortages necessitating that patients with psychiatric diagnoses are boarded on medical surgical units. As a result, medical surgical nurses identify the need to increase their knowledge, skills and competencies to care for this patient population. This Broset QI pilot project is the first implementation of the BVC with patients cared for on medical surgical units. In addition to developing skills in the use of the BVC, medical surgical nurses completed Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI) training and Trauma Informed Care education. 17 Broset Tool (EMR) Broset Violence Checklist Date Instructions: Place a 1 in the Day or Evening or Night column, indicating the shift when the patient s Behaviors were observed. If the Sum of the scores is 2 or more, a pre emptive clinical intervention is indicated. Behaviors Day Evening Night Confused Appears obviously confused and disoriented. May be unaware of person, place, or time. Irritable Easily annoyed or angered. Unable to tolerate presence of others. Boisterous Behavior is overly loud or noisy slams doors, shouts when talking. Verbal Threats A verbal outburst which is more than just a raised voice: where there is a definite intent to intimidate or threaten another person verbal attacks, abuse, name calling, verbally neutral, comments uttered in a snarling aggressive manner. Physical Threats Where there is a definite intent to physically threaten another person taking an aggressive stance; grabbing another person s clothing; raising of an arm, leg, or making a fist directed toward another person. Attacking Objects An attack directed at an object, not an individual the indiscriminate throwing of an object; banging or smashing windows; kicking, banging or hitting head into objects; or the destruction of furniture. SUM Total number of 1s per shift. 15 BVC QI Pilot Project Management Tool Broset Pilot Project Can nurses predict violent behavior on a medical surgical unit using the Broset Violence Checklist?
