Pine Rest Nursing Grand Rounds

Addressing Stigma in the Screening & Treatment of Patients with a History of Violence

Addressing Stigma in the Screening & Treatment of Patients with a History of Violence

 

Presentation Overview:

This Nursing Grand Rounds will discuss the screening and treatment of patients who have exhibited violence in the past. We will review information and discuss different violence screening tools, critically evaluating the tools for effectiveness and/or use of stigmatizing labels. In addition, we will examine the stigma against patients based on their violent past and how it impacts the care and outcomes of the patient. The presentation will conclude with identifying violence prevention strategies that are effective and protective of the patient’s dignity and mental well-being.

The Nursing Grand Rounds are held quarterly, are free of charge to attend, and are open to Pine Rest employees, Pine Rest Academy students, nursing instructors and interested nurses from any organization. Nursing contact hours will be provided.

Registration closes on 11/28/2023.
