Description
Lars Erik Almquist and colleagues study in 2026 how hospital staff who help violently injured patients actually do their work. These violence prevention professionals support recovery and try to stop further harm. Their day-to-day tactics were poorly recorded, and nobody knew which ones travel between workers.
Interviews with 23 professionals were sorted around ten key moments in a patient's recovery path. Cataloging the answers produced 214 distinct tactics. The richest sets covered first meetings with patients, building trust, and guiding people to services. Far fewer tactics dealt with keeping patients engaged or with care after program exit. Sharing the catalog should strengthen training and give new programs a ready toolkit.
