abstract="Assaultive behavior by patients is a serious problem throughout healthcare facilities. Currently, wide variability exists in the approaches used to deal with assaultive behavior. The immediate objective of this study was to perform a consensus validation of the community meeting as a prevention and intervention measure for assault. The community meeting is a regular meeting of all staff and patients for communication, ward management, or psychiatric treatment. A delphi survey, with three iterations, was used to operationalize the collection of judgments and achieve convergence of opinion from expert respondents. A protocol for a Violence Prevention Community Meeting (VPCM) was established.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
