abstract="The phenomenon of workplace violence (WPV) is prevalent in clinical settings affecting nurses and nursing students. Mental health nursing simulations may be used  to impart knowledge and skills to nursing students to manage and prevent incidents  of WPV. This article presents attained competency skills by nursing students after  attending a simulation, and how they implemented their knowledge learned in their  clinical rotations. Students attended a Mental Health Nursing Simulation on WPV and  completed surveys. The simulation enhanced the students' communication skills,  empathy, ability to manage verbally aggressive patients, ability to set personal  boundaries, and ability to seek support from others. Participants reported physical  and verbal forms of WPV and application of learned evidence-based skills in their  clinical rotations. Evidence-based skills to manage and prevent WPV taught to  nursing students via mental health nursing simulations can enhance their clinical  competency, and they should be embedded in a nursing curriculum.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
