Coping strategies of nurses caring for mental health care users displaying violent and aggressive behaviour in mental health care institutions in North West province
Background
Mental health care users displaying violent and aggressive behaviour is a serious concern in mental health care institutions. Nurses working in mental health care institutions are more exposed to patient violence compared to health care professionals in general health settings. However, there is limited evidence regarding the strategies used by nurses to cope with violent and aggressive behaviour in mental health care institutions, particularly in the North West province.
Aim
The aim of the study was therefore to explore and describe the strategies used by nurses to cope with violent and aggressive behaviour in mental health care institutions in North West province.
Methods
A qualitative-exploratory-descriptive and contextual research design guided the study. Face-to-face semi-structured individual interviews and field notes were used to collect data in August and September 2023 at two public mental health care institutions in North West which is one of the nine provinces in South Africa. The data was analysed by the researcher and an independent coder using thematic analysis.
Results
Four themes emerged, namely: factors contributing to violence and aggression, negative experiences in caring for mental health care users displaying violent and aggressive behaviour, coping strategies used by nurses, and suggestions to enhance effective coping with violent and aggressive behaviour. Effective coping strategies mentioned by nurses include problem-focused coping strategies, appraisal-focused coping strategies and social-focused coping strategies.
Conclusion
Although nurses had had negative experiences that affected their coping, they also shared effective coping strategies, namely faith-based practices, problem-focused coping strategies, appraisal-focused coping strategies, emotion-focused strategies and social coping.
期刊介绍：
International Journal of Africa Nursing Sciences (IJANS) is an international scientific journal published by Elsevier. The broad-based journal was founded on two key tenets, i.e. to publish the most exciting research with respect to the subjects of Nursing and Midwifery in Africa, and secondly, to advance the international understanding and development of nursing and midwifery in Africa, both as a profession and as an academic discipline. The fully refereed journal provides a forum for all aspects of nursing and midwifery sciences, especially new trends and advances. The journal call for original research papers, systematic and scholarly review articles, and critical papers which will stimulate debate on research, policy, theory or philosophy of nursing as related to nursing and midwifery in Africa, technical reports, and short communications, and which will meet the journal''s high academic and ethical standards. Manuscripts of nursing practice, education, management, and research are encouraged. The journal values critical scholarly debate on issues that have strategic significance for educators, practitioners, leaders and policy-makers of nursing and midwifery in Africa. The journal publishes the highest quality scholarly contributions reflecting the diversity of nursing, and is also inviting international scholars who are engaged with nursing and midwifery in Africa to contribute to the journal. We will only publish work that demonstrates the use of rigorous methodology as well as by publishing papers that highlight the theoretical underpinnings of nursing and midwifery as it relates to the Africa context.
