TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Violence against health personnel JO - Ugeskrift for Laeger A1 - Eller, Nanna Hurwitz SP - 131 EP - 134 VL - 176 IS - 2 N2 - Health personnel are at risk of threats and violence, especially when young and inexperienced. Also, working in emergency departments, psychiatric wards, and eldercare bears a risk. The phenomenon is reported from all over the world and may originate in intoxication, confusion or frustration during long waiting hours and uncertainty of treatment and prognosis. Experiences of threats and violence result in decreased well-being, anger, helplessness and thoughts about change of workplace or quitting the job. Training in communication and teamwork may prevent threats and violence.
