More and more frequently, healthcare settings and healthcare staff are experiencing instances of violence.  The sources of violence may be many: external parties such as robbers or muggers, particularly those seeking drugs; agitated patients; friends and family members of patients; and coworkers in cases of bullying and lateral violence.  It’s important for healthcare workers to understand the potential and to learn ways to prevent violence and de-escalate potentially troublesome situations. This Resource Center discusses both the most common types of violence and offers tools and strategies for prevention.

  • Overview
  • Violence in Specific HealthCare Settings
  • General Prevention Resources

patient-and-family-healthcare

Rarely do healthcare workers deal with patients in a vacuum. Family members, friends, and significant others play an important part in the care continuum and the patient’s healing process. Dealing with difficult, demanding, or disruptive family members can pose challenges. But even in cooperative and supportive situations, it can be stressful to have to convey bad, sad, or unwelcome news or to discuss sensitive or touchy topics with the patient’s support network. This Resource Center addresses many common challenges that healthcare workers can face when dealing with a patient’s family members.

  • Dealing with Difficult Patients
  • Family Challenges
  • Tackling Tough Topics: – Communicating Bad or Sad News – Death, Dying & End of Life Issues – Substance Abuse – Domestic Violence – Suicide – Touchy Topics

cultural-competency

A 2004 study by the Institute of Medicine reported that almost half of the country’s adult population is disconnected from the U.S.healthcare system because they are health illiterate.

Problems run the gamut: cultural and language barriers are common issues. Other problems may be associated with limited reading proficiency, age, disability, and other issues that impede communication or understanding.  This Resource Center offers tools, articles, and websites related to common communication and care delivery challenges faced by healthcare workers. Here are some of the topics covered:

  • Cultural Competence
  • Health Literacy
