Nurses can identify aggression through various indicators such as:
Verbal cues: Raised voices, rude or demeaning language, and threats. Non-verbal cues: Body language such as clenched fists, glaring, or invading personal space. Contextual factors: Situational stressors like long waiting times or pain can escalate aggressive behaviors.
Training in de-escalation techniques and regular communication skills workshops can help nurses better identify and handle aggression.
