violence in the emergency room is a problem in israel too/ first we thougt people are violent because more than others we live in a violent country but it is not the major cause. i did a little research about this phenomena . to understand why people become violent against people that want to help them? that is the big question/ and i dont have THE solution but i am sure that nurse image and violence against nurses are in big correlation. people think that a nurse can support everything / like pain' death and everything ugly// so they can support violence too. people think that a nurse is " not important" and they dont have to respect her.it is part of her job
the difference is that in israel they cant tell you not to come to your work! the laws are very strong for the worker and in this case i think that the nurse had to explain and analyse why she got into such a situation and how can she improve her attitude in same case.
