1. Violence is Part of the Job (n = 43) | 1.1 Desensitization to WPV in the ED (n = 37) | “I think it’s an interesting thing where we’ve had to just adapt to the reality that violence is like a normal part of your day. I’ve never been physically assaulted in the ED which I’m grateful for, but the risk is there and you hear of lots of situations so, you just kind of accept that potentially violent patients are here and we have to care for them.” (Interview #17) |
1.2 A Prevailing Sense of Hopelessness (n = 32) | “I think it just becomes normal in emerge now when a person is violent. That’s just normal. Not that I don’t think they’re [management] taking it seriously, but I just think it’s so busy now. No one has the time to do any debriefing, or counseling or following up on these incidents. So I think people just get left behind and their voice isn’t really heard.” (Interview #28) | |
1.3 Identity-Targeted in WPV (n = 6) | “The psychological trauma of having patients berate you, call you names, use racial slurs, comments about people’s physical attributes, et cetera, like those things happen every single day and can be truly, truly traumatic.” (Interview #53) | |
1.4 Moral Injury and Moral Distress (n = 35) | “We’ve had quite a few situations over the past few years that have caused people to not even want to work in this environment. It leads to burnout and then it spirals into this process where people end up quitting because of the repeated workplace violence. And that’s confounded by having to provide care for people who are sick. So when you’re trying to deal with providing that care in addition to somebody who’s aggressive and somebody who’s violent, it kind of compounds all together.” (Interview #23) | |
2. Leadership Dynamics regarding WPV (n = 32) | 2.1 Support from ED Management (n = 17) | “I think they [immediate management] provide us with the support. Our leadership team has been pretty great and our security team has been really great in providing that support. I don’t think the training that we receive before we start is sufficient, especially with the psych patients. Not everyone has a psych background and not everyone knows how to interact and what might trigger a psych patient.” (Interview #43) |
2.2 Perceived lack of Organizational Initiative with regards to WPV (n = 31) | “You do an incident report. But what’s the point? Management is supposed to get back to you… But nobody ever gets back to you. There’s nothing, there are no solutions. And then we ask how can we make it better? Again, there’s nothing. And then it happens again. So then what’s the point in completing one?” (Interview #41) | |
3. Perceived Disconnect Among ED Staff During WPV Response (n = 41) | 3.1 Interactions between roles in the ED (n = 24) | “It just felt like there’s way too many people around. When someone was escalating and then a lot of people showed up and like I said, I’m not really sure what they’re supposed to be doing. There’s one person that engages with the patient from what I had seen, so I’m not sure if that is the most beneficial in emerge when we already have a relationship with the patient.” (Interview #38) “I think it’s [the higher prevalence of workplace violence against nurses] because the nurses spend more time with patients in general. A doctor sees you for five minutes, but then we’re the ones that have to assess you, do the orders, keep talking to you and convince you to take the medication or whatever may be. So we have to interact with them more, I think it’s just the nature of our job.” (Interview #14) |
3.2 Role Confusion during WPV Incidents (n = 35) | “Security guards and nurses should work together during a code situation. However, sometimes we find that some security guards may take charge of situations and want to manage the Code White without really listening to the advice of nurses. It’s good for nurses to give their medical advice as well and take charge so that we can de-escalate and provide other interventions. If the guards are aware of that, then that’s better.” (Interview #37) “The other thing we do in a Code Blue that I have never seen done in a Code White situation is somebody identifying themselves as a team leader. In a Code Blue, when I walk into the room, I say my name is so-and-so and I’m one of the staff emergency physicians. I’m running this code so that people understand my role. But you never see a team lead identifying themselves in a Code White situation. You never see anybody identifying themselves in a Code White situation.” (Interview #52) | |
4. Enhancing Systems and Culture for Effective WPV Management (n = 46) | 4.1 Current Measures and Feelings of Safety (n = 40) | “Overall, I think the guards are helpful. Our current one is obviously great, but two is getting towards being great just in terms of feeling safe and having someone around that can be like rougher with a patient, whereas we can’t.” (Interview #2) |
4.2 Areas for Improvement and Prospective Measures (n = 46) | “I think that [body-worn cameras] would be useful. It could help deescalate situations quicker if the patients see that they’re being recorded. Or staff think they’re being recorded. I think it works for the police well.” (Interview #28) “I feel like that’s [personal alarm systems] been helpful when I’ve worked on departments. I’ve worked on a locked psychiatric unit and everybody had them, and I feel like it was helpful to them. There are logistical things that go along with that, like false alarms and stuff. But I think for the number of times that it would be needed, it would be used and be functional.” (Interview #42) | |
4.3 Need for Education (n = 42) | “Definitely NVCI (non-violent crisis intervention) and CPI (crisis prevention intervention) training would work. I’ve seen it work multiple times. I can even say I’ve seen it work on patients here and patients that are worse than what you might see as from a Code White here. So I’m a very strong believer in CPI and NVCI trainings if those courses are being done annually and are provided by UHN.” (Interview #49) | |
4.4 Streamlined Code White Process (n = 26) | “Sometimes when security gets there [to a Code White], they usually arrive like one, then two and three, then four, then five and I don’t know if they have a system in place, but sometimes some of them are just standing there like a deer in headlights without kind of knowing what they do. But they do look to us for guidance a lot and sometimes it’s like, well, they’re throwing chairs screaming in a room threatening to punch me. What else can I tell you? I think having those people [Behavioural Emergency Response Team] for like the code white, like having a code white be treated just like a resuscitation would be good. Like someone is in charge of deescalating the situation, someone maybe in charge of trying to like physically calm the person. I think that having rules would be good.” (Interview #14) | |
4.5 Environmental Concerns (n = 30) | “I noticed when a patient escalates unexpectedly, there are no security buttons in a couple of locations where I would like them to be. So, I think a re-evaluation of where the security buttons are, in particular, subacute one and two, don’t have them…If a patient’s blocking your entry or exit from the room, there’s no button inside the room or even just outside. I think that’s something that should be re-evaluated too.” (Interview #40) “When you enter to see the patients, the way that the beds are put, sometimes you find yourself on the opposite side of where the entrance is. So, if you were in that sort of a situation, there is no easy way for you to escape…If a nurse goes in and she’s for example, putting up leads to hook the patient up onto a cardiac monitor and if she was to be attacked by the patient, I can think of many of the areas and rooms around where she would not have easy access to be able to escape. Because she’d be locked or he’d be locked. You know what I mean? So those things have got to be thought out.” (Interview #18) “I think stupid little mistakes that could be serious ones. I found a scalpel next to the printer and when I brought it to the charge nurse, it was just kind of like, oh, it’s just a scalpel. And I’m thinking but if it didn’t get used here, a patient who is totally messed up, they could have taken it outside the hospital. Stupid little mistakes, I think could cause something like so serious like leaving a needle, laying around. Like, I certainly don’t want to be stabbed with that needle.” (Interview #5) |
