Description
Matias Karvonen and colleagues read five years of incident reports in 2026 from a Finnish forensic psych hospital. Nurses in forensic psych wards face violence that harms health and may hurt safe care. The team read prevention notes in staff reports and counted how often each prevention theme appeared.
Prevention formed layers. They were stable clinical care, staffing and work plans, and early warning routines. Kind talks and de-escalation, safe rooms and tech aids, rules and outside risk control, plus clear notes, debriefs, and learning from events completed the layers. The findings show that clinical, work, and place factors join together in stopping violence on forensic wards.
