💜 Domestic Violence Awareness Month 💜 💙 IAHSS Hospital Security and Safety Week💙 Why do I celebrate the men and women of our hospital security this week? One reason is because I am nurse who has survived domestic violence. Did you know approximately 45% of nurses and doctors report experiencing domestic violence? (Average from several different studies) When these incidents become an employee and security concern at work, swift and well thought out action plans need to be made. Most security officers don’t stop there and take a vested interest in keeping employees safe at home too 💜 escorting to vehicles before and after shifts, creating safety plans, connecting to resources, helping secure safe shelter to name a few. Here is the 2011-2018 breakdown from the Bureau of Labor Statistics: Workplace homicides to healthcare workers, by assailant Assailant Number of fatal injuries Relative or domestic partner 45 All other, including unknown 31 Patient 23 Co-worker or work associate 21 Other client or customer 18 Acquaintance 9 Robber 9 Sadly it’s estimated that 20% of domestic violence related deaths are those of bystanders as well. Law enforcement, security, friends and families become victims too. Please join me in saying thank you this week to hospital security across the country for all they do to keep patients and employees safe! Share your tips and resources for keeping your patients and employees safe from domestic violence. We are stronger together and when we share knowledge! #iahss #hospitalsecurity #nursesafety #nursesoflinkedin #patientsafety #domesticviolence #DVAM2024 Article to picture used for graphic: https://lnkd.in/gF3Df3vb
