Through the CNO LensMary Beth Kingston, PhD, RN, FAAN
Few Stats
• One in four nurses report being assaulted
• Up to 80% of workplace violence incidents affecting nurses go unreported
• 13% of missed workdays can be attributed to workplace violence
(ANA End Nurse Abuse, 2018)
BUHD Behaviors
BullyingUnreasonable behaviour that creates risk to the physical or mental health or safety of an
individual
Undermining Behaviour that has undermined
professional confidence and/or self-esteem
HarassmentUnwanted conduct related to a relevant protected characteristic, which has the
purpose or effect of violating an individual’s dignity or creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading,
humiliating or offensive environment for that individualDiscrimination
Unjust or prejudicial treatment of an individual with a particular
attribute or personal characteristic which can be legally protected
Impact is Well Documented
• Dependent on type of injury - may be minor, long-term, death• Lost individual productivity• Decreased wages• Career impact • Stress and psychological effects further impacting health – fear and anxiety in
workplace• Increased organizational costs: turnover/worker’s comp
Systems Approach – Linked with Patient Safety
Requires organization commitment and infrastructure
• Only 50% of hospital and health system board respondents had knowledge of
risks to workforce safety and awareness of dashboards that measure harm to
team members
• Press Ganey Survey of CEOs and senior leaders, none listed workforce
safety in their proposed metrics to support safe, high quality care.1 - NPSF Survey
2- Press Ganey Survey
Implementation Guide - NAP
Every health care organization has a detailed violence prevention program:
• Assessment
• Risk mitigation/prevention (including training and proactive planning)
• Defining behaviors and reporting
• Monitoring, trending, action
• Support
Advocate Aurora Health Journey
• Organizing structure
• Link with patient safety
• Lessons learned
• Progress to date
