Background: Many entry-level and experienced healthcare professionals have not received training in workplace violence prevention strategies.
Objective: This paper describes the development, content, and initial qualitative evaluation of an on-line course designed to give healthcare workers an opportunity to acquire free workplace violence prevention training while earning free continuing education units.
Methods: A group of healthcare violence prevention researchers worked via email and face-to-face meetings to decide appropriate content for the course.
Purpose: Workplace assaults against healthcare workers originate from many sources, but are predominantly committed by patients. Therefore, training in strategies for preventing patient-on-nurse violence is very important throughout a nurse's career.
Methods: The online course described in this article presents prevention strategies from the institutional and individual levels.
