Violence in home healthcare is a growing issue, especially as the industry is expected to expand by 34% from 2019 to 2029. The pandemic has accelerated shifts toward telemedicine and in-home care, increasing the risks faced by home health aides.
Workplace violence includes any threats or acts of aggression towards workers. This can range from verbal abuse to physical assaults, significantly impacting the emotional, cognitive, and physical well-being of home healthcare workers. Consequences include burnout, mental health issues like depression and anxiety, and reduced quality of care.
Fear of violence alone can lead to negative health outcomes, even if workers don't directly experience violence. Confidence in preventing and responding to threats is crucial for coping with stress. Training can boost this confidence, but more needs to be done to address the underlying issues.
