Abstract

Workplace violence is recognized as a significant public health issue. Staff in ambulatory settings are at high risk for experiencing violence from patients or clinic visitors. Exposure to workplace violence may put staff at risk for depression, chronic fatigue, or poor job satisfaction. Developing a safety plan that incorporates organizational policy, staff training, environmental changes and debriefing may help reduce the risk of workplace violence.
