| Summary: | 碩士 === 長庚醫學暨工程學院 === 護理學研究所 === 85 === The purpose of this research was to understand the effects of a
violence manage-ment course on psychiatric nurses. Data
collection was based on a pre-post test control design. One
follow-up test was given immediately after course comple-tion,
and a final test after 4 weeks. Personal information was
obtained and instruments for gathering data include a conflict
management scale, violence attitude scale and violent behavior
management scale. Eighty psychiatric nurseshad been selected
from ten psychiatric units of two medical centers,one psychi-
atric professional center and one regional hospital which were
randomly assignedinto the experimental group(n=41) and the
control group (n=39). Percentage, mean, standard deviation, chi-
square, paired t-test, ANOVA, repeated measures ANOVA, Duncon
multiple range test, one-way ANOVA, Peason's correlation were
usedfor data analysis.Results can be summarized as follows:1.The
experimental group exhibited significant improvement in
knowledge concer-ning violence.2.The experimental group
demonstrated more positive attitude to violence aftercourse, and
a significant difference was also observed between results of
two follow-up tests.3.(1)A significant decrease was found in the
frequency of isolating patients, and the need of security help
after the program. (2)No significant difference were observed
in number events of verbal aggres-sion against objects, and
physical aggression against other people. (3)The severity of
physical assults for subjects also didn't vary significan-tly
after the course.4.There was no correlation between knowledge,
attitudes, and behavior.5.A correlation did not demonstrated
among these variables: hospital type, sex,marriage status,
education level, religion, conflict management skills, age,
clinical psychiatric nursing experience.In conclusion, a
violence management course improved the capability of psychia-
tric nurses to repond to and cope with patients' violence.
Lessened needs for isolating patients and security help are
another research outcomes.
