Doctorate Title: Occupational violence against paramedics: Hostility, mitigation practices and the insight of practice theory.
Doctorate Description: Occupational violence is a significant issue in prehospital healthcare with most paramedics reporting some form of patient or bystander aggression in the context of their work. The study examined the effectiveness of paramedic occupational violence mitigation systems and the associated strategies designed to provide management, support, and moderation. The results of the study suggest paramedic occupational violence is a bilateral, dynamic activity that is subject to the transference of social processes between the paramedic and the patient. The study reveals the effective application of occupational violence mitigation practices in paramedicine are impacted by the unpredictability of the prehospital healthcare setting.
