Kylie Ward says that if nurses can address systemic violence it will improve the lives of many in our community - women, children, LGBTQI+ and others. #NNF2021
Willetts stresses the need for psychological safety for nurses speaking up on violence - "we need support from our organisations, communities and governments" she says. #NNF2021
Willetts says we need a national dataset on occupational violence - currently there is no consistency which means we don't have a national perspective. #NNF2021
One challenge is the diversity of settings where nurses experience violence - from metro hospitals to rural and remote settings - we need to incorporate all these diverse experiences. #NNF2021
Kylie Ward is reflecting on the verbal abuse nurses are experiencing currently due to restrictions on visiting imposed due to COVID #NNF2021
Leesa Hooker explains that an intersectional approach to domestic and family violence is required - taking into account racism, gender and other power structures. #NNF2021
She also outlines the mental and physical health impacts of family and domestic violence. Including depression, PTSD, unwanted and unplanned pregnancies. Children are particularly harmed - experiencing developmental delays and mental health impacts. #NNF
Hooker says that health care professionals and services often do not recognise these health impacts or know how to address them. #NNF2021
