Survey: workplace violence prevention programs in nursing homes
Blando JD , Ridenour ML , Hartley D . J Healthc Prot Manage 2021 37 (1) 100-113 A survey of facilities in two states--one with workplace violence prevention regulations and one without--indicates that nursing home administrators know that workplace violence is a risk in their facilities and have instituted policies and programs to prevent it. The programs, though, tend to be piecemeal and informal. Surprisingly, the programs in the regulated state were not more rigorous than those in the other state, probably because of lack of enforcement and limited awareness of the regulations. |
New Jersey Home Health Care Aides Survey Results
Ridenour ML , Hendricks S , Hartley D , Blando JD . Home Health Care Manag Pract 2019 31 (3) 172-178 The objective of the study was to report on what violence-based training home health care aides received, their participation in health promotion classes, and home health care aides’ experience with workplace violence. In 2013, a mail survey was completed by 513 home health care aides in the state of New Jersey. Ninety-four percent of the respondents were female. Respondents whose agency was part of a hospital were more likely to receive violence-based safety training than respondents whose agency was not part of a hospital (p =.0313). When the perpetrator of violence was a patient or family member, the respondents experienced verbal abuse the most (26%), then physical assault (16%) and exposure to bodily fluids (13%). Home health care aides whose agency was part of a hospital were more likely to receive violence-based safety training. Training is an important component of a workplace violence prevention program. |

Hospital security director background, opinions, and the implementation of security programs
Blando JD , Ridenour ML , Hartley D , Nocera M . J Appl Secur Res 2017 12 (4) 497-511 Effective security is crucial to the functioning of a hospital because it impacts patient care, employee satisfaction and turnover, and patient confidence in the healthcare facility to provide a safe environment for medical care. A survey was conducted of NJ hospital security directors to describe their security programs, assess compliance with statewide workplace violence prevention regulations, and evaluate the influence of their experience and opinions on the comprehensiveness of their security program. The surveyed security programs (n = 52) had partial compliance with the regulations, security directors (n = 35) viewed the regulations positively but also had suggestions for improvements, and having a director with law enforcement experience did not improve regulatory compliance. |
Workplace violence and training required by new legislation among NJ nurses
Ridenour ML , Hendricks S , Hartley D , Blando JD . J Occup Environ Med 2017 59 (4) e35-e40 Objective: The aim of this study was to examine nurses’ knowledge of the state of New Jersey (NJ) Violence Prevention in Health Care Facilities Act, workplace violence training, and experience with workplace violence. Methods: In 2013, 309 (22.5% response rate) nurses returned a mailed survey. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted. Results: Ninety percent of respondents were female. When the perpetrator was a patient or a family member, the respondents experienced verbal abuse the most (57.8%), followed by threats (52.3%), and physical assault (38.3%). Respondents who had heard of the regulation (89.6%) received a higher proportion of training than those who had not heard of the regulation (57.9%) (Pā<ā0.0001). Conclusions: Nurses who received at least 80% of the required training components were more likely to feel more secure at work, suggesting that training is an important tool to address workplace violence. |
