Aggression exposure is highly prevalent in healthcare workers, and is a complex problem that negatively impacts patient and worker safety and health. Typically only events of high severity (e.g., use of physical restraint or incident reports) are monitored in healthcare settings. Unfortunately, these events are likely a small fraction of all aggressive events that range from verbal to physical. Improved measurement and monitoring of healthcare worker aggression exposure may lead to improved patient and worker safety and health. This article provides an overview of aggression exposure in healthcare and reviews the measurement of aggression, including challenges and common measures. Discussion of a pilot study presents insights gained from using a novel measure of aggression, handheld counters. The conclusion offers implications for research and clinical practice.

Family caregivers play an integral role in supporting patient self-management, yet how they perform this role is unclear. We conducted a qualitative metasynthesis of family caregivers' processes to support patient self-management of chronic, life-limiting illness and factors affecting their support. Methods included a systematic literature search, quality appraisal of articles, data abstraction, and data synthesis to produce novel themes. Thirty articles met inclusion criteria, representing 935 international family caregivers aged 18 to 89 years caring for patients with various health conditions. Three themes characterized family caregivers' processes to support patient self-management: "Focusing on the Patient's Illness Needs," "Activating Resources to Support Oneself as the Family Caregiver," and "Supporting a Patient Living with a Chronic, Life-Limiting Illness." Factors affecting family caregivers' support included Personal Characteristics, Health Status, Resources, Environmental Characteristics, and the Health Care System. The family caregiver role in supporting patient self-management is multidimensional, encompassing three processes of care and influenced by multiple factors.
