Physical and verbal violence against healthcare workers has been identified as a sentinel event by the Joint Commission. In this secondary analysis of survey data on workplace violence (WPV), researchers explored which attributes of patient safety culture may predict healthcare workers’ experiences of WPV and burnout. Better teamwork and staffing were among the attributes associated with lower risk of WPV.
