TI  - Violence and its prediction at a psychiatric hospital.
PG  - 459-65
AB  - Aggressive behaviour in psychiatric inpatients was assessed before and after a 
      training course for staff members. The Social Dysfunction Aggression Scale (SDAS) 
      was used to report and assess aggressive behaviour over time, and the Staff 
      Observation Aggression Scale (SOAS) to report and assess single aggressive 
      incidents. In addition, the numbers of nursing staff members who were on sick 
      leave because of injuries in the periods before and after the course were 
      recorded and compared. No statistically significant reduction was found in the 
      number of aggressive patients or in the number of staff members on sick leave. 
      One interesting finding was a lower reporting on the SOAS of perceived aggressive 
      incidents after the training course in comparison with the SDAS reports. Directed 
      verbal aggressiveness and violence towards things were found to be predictors of 
      violence.
