Project Statement (Problem-Intervention-Comparison-Outcome-Time)

Need Statement Violent issues can be experienced in various departments in the healthcare setting, which includes the emergency departments (Cabilan et al., 2020). Patient violence can affect the normal operations and procedures of an emergency department since it affects the way healthcare practitioners respond to care for patients. The violence might emerge from a patient to another or from a patient to a health provider and is characterized by various factors. Patient violence is normally intolerable because it arises from violent and aggressive patients which make it hard for healthcare providers to run procedures on them especially while under emergency care (Cabilan et al., 2020). This violence is a major threat to service delivery as it interferes and disrupts care delivery to patients in the emergency departments. Patient violence require immediate interventions when they emerge in any environment or healthcare setting. Many healthcare practitioners report to experience different levels of patient violence during their work and service provision. Patient violence in emergency departments is caused by various prevalent factors and settings such as patients assuming that physicians and practitioners are negligent, impacts of drug and alcohol abuse on patients, issues related to mental health problems, or even having eye contact with other patients or healthcare representatives (Cabilan et al., 2020). Patient violence in emergency departments has become common and diverse in healthcare delivery and has interfered with various procedures and operations in care delivery as well as putting all involved parties at high threat. Patient violence problems can be addressed through the implementation of various intervention ways which can be appropriately utilized in the healthcare settings (Cabilan et al., 2020). The Broset Violence Checklist approach is the most 3 appropriate technique that can be utilized in emergency departments to identify how violent and aggressive patients can be through identification and evaluation of the related traits associated with aggressiveness (Cabilan et al., 2020). Broset Violence Checklist is appropriately used in emergency departments as an intervention mechanism to identify patient violent tendency and occurrence for immediate solving. The approach operates as an indicator for mitigative and prediction assessment of factors causing patient violence in emergency departments in a given duration of time.
