One half of those nurses (50%) who are aware of work violence prevention programs at their facilities indicated that these programs are extremely or moderately effective, while 29% said they are somewhat effective. Only 22% said they are only slightly ineffective or not at all effective, suggesting that violence prevention programs are an additional way healthcare facilities can improve nurse working conditions and promote nurse retention.
