Guidelines for Security and Safety of Health Care and Community Service Workers
"Carmel and Hunter suggest that some psychiatric workers may be at a higher risk for injuries from assaults than the risk for injuries from all causes in the country's most hazardous industry (Lipscomb and Love, 1992)". I found this statement quite disturbing and the stigma attached "goes with the job" The article was a thorough look at causes, planning, intervention and evaluation of violence in the workforce guess what hit me the most was to implement a plan such as this it would not be cost feasible. The amount of recording, various studies, assessment and interventions not to mention the training involved make it impractical if not impossible found after reading this article I imagined myself wearing a bulletproof vest equipped with a cell phone, video camera, tazer, pepper spray surrounded by the national guard with my client, not my idea of an effective therapeutic melliu. The risk for violence is real and should not be ignored or tolerated but I don't believe all of the actions in the article would prevent this.
