Assault and its consequences can severely disrupt the hospital environment and impair the functioning of staff members and patients.

Verbal conflict with other staff (92%) was also high. Multiple regression analyses indicated that in addition to static risk factors (i.e. staff position, years of experience and gender), the risk of assault was associated with the frequency of conflicts with staff and patients, which in turn was moderated by personal stress reactivity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Physical violence by patients was a pervasive threat for a high proportion of staff. Frequent conflict interactions with volatile patients contributed the most risk, but reactivity to conflict was a dynamic risk factor. The strain associated with assault risk and stress reactivity could be prospectively mitigated by resilience enhancement programming for staff.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jan.12609","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,29]],"date-time":"2014-12-29T04:44:17Z","timestamp":1419828257000},"page":"1110-1122","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":67,"title":["A
