TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Working towards a definition for workplace violence actions in the health sector JO - Safety in health A1 - Wallis, Jaime A1 - Boyle, Malcolm J. SP - e4 EP - e4 VL - 2 IS - 1 N2 - Unlike the patient safety research network, no consensus document exists that outlines definitions and concepts that pertain to the workplace violence research environment in the health sector. There are no agreed definitions internationally for terms such as vertical and horizontal violence. This results in a challenging research environment where parallels and commonality are somewhat ambiguous. The objective of this study was to define six central actions of workplace violence for use in health sector research.
