Description
Abuse against nurses is a growing topic in today's healthcare system, whether that reflects verbal, physical, or sexual abuse. During my practicum at “Hospital A” there were multiple instances of nurse abuse on varying levels of type and severity, with most related to patient delirium. Due to this, I chose to do my capstone project on the rise in nurse abuse and how we can improve this to promote quality and safe care to all patients using QSEN competencies to educate nurses on how to prevent adverse incidents of abuse towards healthcare workers as it relates to preventing patient delirium by following already established policies and protocols. Also combating this by promoting a supportive nonjudgemental environment for reporting workplace violence (WPV) while also ensuring the policies and procedures set up by management and the organization support the nurses and get rid of the “it’s just a part of the job” stigma.
