ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the influence of violence risk training on self-efficacy and turnover intention of psychiatric nurses. Methods About 60 nurses without violence risk training were selected to be assessed before and after 6 months training. The ability to cope with violence, general self-efficacy and turnover intention before training were compared with those after training. Result After 6 months violence risk training, the ability to cope with violence and general self-efficacy of nurses were both significantly improved while turnover intention was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Conclusions Violence risk training can improve the ability to cope with violence effectively, enhance the general self-efficacy of nurses and reduce their turnover intention, which is conductive not only to providing safe access to medical environment, but also protecting the physical and mental health of medical staff and safety of patients. It improves nursing quality and stabilizes the team of nurses, worth popularizing.
