| Abstract |
Purposes/Aims: This project aims to reduce harm to staff and patients in behavioral health; settings by implementing simulation training for managing agitated patients.; Rationale/Background: Rising workplace violence necessitates clear, effective protocols. The; project addresses the lack of universal guidelines by developing a simulation program grounded; in a comprehensive literature review. This review, encompassing qualitative, quantitative, and; quality improvement studies, identified critical gaps in current practices.; Methods: Utilizing the McKinsey 7S framework, the project creates a simulation training; focused on safety interventions during agitated patient events, prioritizing patient privacy and; dignity. The project goal is to decrease behavioral incidents, reduce injuries, and improve patient; outcomes through enhanced staff competency. By providing a structured guideline and hands-on; experience, the simulation fosters staff confidence and promotes effective safety interventions.; Results: Successful implementation has the potential to lead to the training's broader application; across all healthcare specialties, establishing a standardized approach to managing agitated; patients and diminishing workplace violence.; Conclusions: A structured guideline for staff members to follow allows for a smoother; implementation process for behavioral events. An agitated patient simulation training will teach; safety practices and allow staff members to feel confident during these events, resulting in harm; reduction. With a successful project, the training can be utilized for behavioral health unit staff; and universally for all healthcare providers in any specialty. |
