Helpful interpretation of #workplaceviolence data from @BLS_gov from @andrewvandam. Some additional insights from California: WV persisted during COVID-19 even as patient volume dropped: https://t.co/LYR5Q3WwkP

"When we judge dangerous jobs by injuries rather than deaths, jobs dominated by women rise to the top." Devastating and illuminating analysis by my former colleague .@andrewvandam https://t.co/3TMqWeoaw0

Despite major reductions in patient volume due to #COVID19, workplace violence exposure for hospital-based #healthcare workers remained essentially unchanged, says new study by postdoc @OdesRachel, associate prof. Soo-Jeong Lee & prof. Oi Saeng Hong https://t.co/cWS9qmHYZa

@NurseOSavage Thanks for this important message. Our healthcare environments need to be transformed so that safety is a given for doing the work!

[Rachel Odes, PhD RN @OdesRachel]

@KJames_PhD Whoa!! Amazing - congrats!

@NCSP_UCSF Thanks for the support @NCSP_UCSF! The companion piece would be "how to modify a research plan and finish your dissertation during a pandemic"

“Workplace violence in healthcare settings has been a recognized hazard for decades, and its seeming intractability has led many nurses and other providers to conclude that it’s just ‘part of the job’.” @OdesRachel et al (2021, p. 42) https://t.co/EqrgPuwdlT

[UC Merced Community and Labor Center @UCMercedCLC]

JUST RELEASED: Workers in 10 CA sectors experienced an over 30% increase in deaths during the first 10 mths of the Pandemic. Warehouse (57%), Ag (47%), Bars (44%), Food Processing (43%), Wholesale (42%), Food Services (42%), Nursing Care (39%), Landscaping (38%), Grocery (38%)

Sign the Workplace Violence Prevention for Health Care and Social Service Workers Act (HR 1195) into law. Take action here: https://t.co/WzWHSkkLSs

[Rachel Odes, PhD RN @OdesRachel]

Glad to see Texas taking steps to address #workplaceviolence in healthcare. Good coverage of some of the complex issues.
Half of Texas' nurses experience workplace violence. A Texas lawmaker says it’s time to protect them. https://t.co/JCZsDshIQj via @TexasTribune

@jdillardwright @NursingTheoryCo @ClaireBethel4 Thanks for this contribution- good sentiments to guide us and reflect on

[UCSF IHPS @UCSF_IHPS]

Did you know that California leads in legislation protecting healthcare workers from violence on the job? What are the initial findings from this new law, and how can we use this data source for efforts to prevent #workplaceviolence? #IHPS2021 #Tweetorial @OdesRachel 1/6

[Steve Smith @ssmith_calabor]

It's important for workers to have protections in law. But nothing provides more protection than a union contract. In 2021, we need a surge in card-carrying union members who have ironclad protections in a contract that can't be changed by shifting political winds #UnionsforAll

[Rachel Odes, PhD RN @OdesRachel]

Workers will be the force for change

[Worksafe: Safety, Health, and Justice for Workers @WorksafeCA]

🙏THANK YOU to the workers and advocates who are speaking up for a strong #COVID19 Prevention standard for California workplaces:

@CRLAFoundation, @unitehere, @GarmentWorkerLA, @CFTunion, @ROCtheBay, @socalcosh, @LAANE, @forrespect, and others!

We need to do better for patients and staff alike... #workplacesafety #NurseTwitter #Nurses #workplaceviolence

“Included research indicates that workplace violence in the U.S. inpatient psychiatric setting is a widespread problem, with 25–85% of survey respondents reporting an incident of physical aggression within the year prior to survey...” @OdesRachel et al https://t.co/EqrgPuwdlT

[Rachel Odes, PhD RN @OdesRachel]

Workplace violence all too common in the psychiatric treatment setting... whole system needs to change @OccHealthSafety @CalNurses @SEIU @SEIUNURSES

So clear that an approach grounded in mental health treatment instead of policing could have saved a life

[End Police Violence Collective @endpolviolence]

Policing is a public health issue. Police should not be responding to mental health crises. Walter Wallace, Jr. should still be alive.
