abstract="<i>Background</i>: Workplace violence in the health care sector has become a growing global problem. Research has shown that although caregivers comprise a high-risk group exposed to workplace violence, most of them lacked the skills and countermeasures against workplace violence. Therefore, through a quasi-experimental design, this study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of situational simulation training on the nursing staffs' concept and self-confidence in coping with workplace violence. <i>Methods</i>: Workplace violence simulation trainings were applied based on the systematic literature review and the conclusions from focus group interviews with nursing staff. Data were obtained from structured questionnaires including: (1) baseline characteristics; (2) perception of aggression scale (POAS); and (3) confidence in coping with patient aggression. <i>Results</i>: The results revealed that training course intervention significantly improved the nursing staffs' self-perception and confidence against workplace violence (<i>p</i> < 0.001). <i>Conclusions</i>: The &quot;simulation education on workplace violence training&quot; as the intervention significantly improved the workplace violence perception and confidence among nursing staffs in coping with aggression events.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
