Abstract
The purpose of this evidence based practice project was to complete a review of the literature, compare different violence prediction scales, and determine if it would be beneficial to implement a scale into the standard of care at our institution. “Approximately 80% of violent acts from patients are directed at nurses”. Violence against nurses leads to psychological distress and eventually nurse burnout. According to a recent report by the American Hospital Association, “workplace violence cost U.S. hospital and health systems approximately $2.7 billion in 2016”. Multiple scholarly databases were utilized to obtain evidence based research on this topic. A total of five articles were reviewed, containing 2 levels of evidence. Based on the evidence found, a pilot of the BrosetViolence Checklist prediction scale is recommended as required nursing shift documentation in an EMR.
