violence and aggression

Who are the typical perpetrators of violence against nurses?

The perpetrators of violence against nurses can be patients, family members, or even colleagues. Patients who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, experiencing severe pain, or suffering from mental health conditions are often more likely to be aggressive. Family members who are under stress or dissatisfied with the care provided may also act aggressively. Unfortunately, workplace bullying and lateral violence among healthcare staff are not uncommon either.
