AbstractSchizophrenia is a chronic, disabling disease of mind and behavior. Since some schizophrenics are prone to violence, nursing students devised a safety risk assessment tool to help health care personnel screen clients in acute care settings who may be at risk for violent behavior. The tool is accurate, quick, and user-friendly, and it enhances communication among members of the multidisciplinary health care team. The results obtained from the assessment tool guide nurses and other health care team members in implementing appropriate interventions. Future research and pilot studies are warranted to increase the reliability and validity of this tool.
