(2018). The relationship between intention to leave the hospital and coping methods of emergency nurses after workplace violence. Journal Of Clinical Nursing, 27(7-8), 1692-1701. https://doi.org/10.1111/jocn.14228. Presenter:Dr Arvind Karthikeyan - ED Trainee at Tweed Hospital.Summary:The main aim of this study was to identify the relationship between emergency nurses’ intention to leave the hospital and their coping methods following workplace violence.The coping methods were split into emotion-focused and problem-focused mechanisms. The study was a cross-sectional study in which surveys were sent out to 7 hospitals in 7 different cities around Korea (completed by nursing staff working in the emergency department).They received 246 returned surveys, and 32 were incomplete, leaving 214 questionnaires to derive their results from.Verbal abuse was the most frequent violence experience. Of those who experienced violence, 61% considered leaving the hospital.Emotion-focused coping appeared to have a stronger association with nurses’ intention to leave following workplace violence. This highlights the need for resources and processes in place within the emergency department to support staff and encourage healthy coping mechanisms in response to incidents of violence. Take-Home Points: This article highlights the importance of healthy coping strategies.Having a more formalised, standardised counselling service for healthcare providers would be extremely beneficial (ideally an ‘opt-out’ service).  Credits:This episode was produced by the ­­­­Emergency Medicine Training Network 5 with the assistance of Dr Kavita Varshney and, Deepa Dasgupta. Music/Sound EffectsParadise by MBB | https://soundcloud.com/mbbofficial, Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en_US. Sound effects from https://www.free-stock-music.com. Youth by JayJen & Krishi Sarma | https://soundcloud.com/jayjenmusic, Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com,Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US.Thank you for listening!Please send us an email to let us know what you thought.You can contact us at [email protected] can also follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!See you next time,Caroline, Kit, Pramod, Samoda, and Shreyas.~
