Abstract
Work-related violence in hospital settings is a complex and growing issue that has significant personal, societal and economic costs. The complexity and multi-factorial nature of the issue is such that it is extremely difficult to understand and manage, and interventions have had varying levels of success. Systems thinking is one approach that is currently popular in the field of safety science when attempting to understand and respond to complex safety-related issues.
As part of their ongoing efforts to support improved prevention and management of workrelated violence in hospital settings, SafeWork NSW funded the Centre for Human Factors and Sociotechnical Systems to undertake an exploratory research project applying systems thinking to the issue of work-related violence in hospital settings in New South Wales (NSW).
The aims the research were to apply systems thinking methods to enhance understanding of work-related violence in hospital settings in NSW and to develop a series of novel interventions designed to support enhanced prevention and management of the issue.
