Prevention and management of aggression and violence is therefore a priority. However, unlike their nursing colleagues, allied health professionals are not routinely taught such strategies in their pre-registration training.Methods: This article describes and critically explores violence prevention and management strategies under three headings: psychological, physical and pharmacological interventions. This is intended as a discussion article to introduce and update allied health-care professions in this area, assist them in identifying their own training needs, and allow them to have a greater role in multidisciplinary planning and discussion relating to aggression and violence in mental health settings.Conclusions: Focused and consistent training during pre-registration programmes, particularly in psychological interventions to de-escalate potentially violent scenarios could benefit allied health professionals who go on to work in mental health settings. Future research should address the efficacy of all types of interventions aimed at reducing aggression. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
