Examining the Effectiveness of Typologies of Violence Used in Predicting and Responding to Workplace Violence Against Nurses: A Rapid Review

Key Points

The aim is to evaluate how existing violence typologies can predict and respond to workplace violence against nurses.
Conducted a rapid review of existing typologies of violence
Assessed their effectiveness in predicting perpetrator behavior
Developed an integrative framework connecting typology categories with key factors
Identified limitations of current typologies in real-time prediction
Proposed an enhanced model considering escalation dynamics
Highlighted importance of targeting antecedent and precipitating factors for improved nursing responses

Abstract

Existing typologies help identify likely perpetrators of workplace violence but remain insufficient as stand-alone tools for real-time prediction and response because they omit escalation dynamics. This review contributes an integrative framework linking typology categories to antecedent and precipitating factors nurses can recognise and target.
