Violence in the Emergency Department: A national survey of emergency medicine residents and attending physicians
2011, Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :An even smaller number of physicians worked in settings that provided workshops on violence or self-defense training. Our findings echo similar studies on ED violence: more needs to be done in the way of violence prevention measures such as increased security and training for ED staff (1,4–6,12,14,16).
