Abstract

Violence in health-care settings is a common occurrence. This paper reports on a questionnaire survey to establish the incidence of such events in a critical-care environment. Nurses were asked how they had responded to a violent attack, whether they felt it was intentional and whether they had made a formal report. There are implications for training and reporting systems.
