abstract="This paper reports the results of a study on the identification and management of violence on a psychiatric ward and in the psychiatric emergency of a Quebec hospital. The purpose of this exploratory and descriptive study was to examine patients' and nurses' perceptions and strategies for identifying and managing patient aggression and violence. <br><br>RESULTS show that the type of setting influences the way aggressive behaviour issues are perceived and managed. The types of behaviours deemed aggressive or risky also vary between the two units. Moreover, patients and nurses are similarly described by all participants as susceptible to being violent and to being a victim of violence. Prevention of aggression and violence remains a significant challenge in psychiatric nursing, where administrative and environmental constraints, the growing complexity of clinical profiles, divergent interprofessional approaches to care, and collective feelings of apprehension and vulnerability interact.<p /> <p>Language: fr</p>",
