4. Adjustment and validation of a tool for registration of violent incidents at the emergency primary health care.
Målet med prosjektet er å:
- utforske legevaktpersonells erfaringer med trusler og vold fra pasienter/besøkende, og
- undersøke hva legevaktpersonell opplever som viktig for å øke trygghet, redusere antall episoder og alvorlige konsekvenser i arbeidssituasjonen.
