Summary

The main goal of this study is to evaluate if the Finnish version of eDASA+APP (electronic Dynamic Appraisal of Situational Aggression + Aggression Prevention Protocol), a clinical decision support system (CDSS), has an impact on reducing workplace violence, use of coercive measures and increasing nurses' job satisfaction in adult psychiatric inpatient care.

Detailed description
