NHL Game Night: 12-20-14 Lightning at Islanders
Submitted by pete on December 20, 2014 - 20:46Sluggish Lightning nearly bailed out by Vasilevskiy.
Andrei Vasilevskiy was brilliant. He stopped 45 shots tonight, only allowing a goal to an uncovered Tavares in the slot (no shame) and a tipped point shot by Lee (again, no shame). The Lightning would've lost this game 8-1, easily, without Vasilevskiy.

18:49 NYI Kulemin (6), (Clutterbuck)(EN)
Vasilevskiy was the game's third star.
Anyone in a Lightning jersey not named Vasilevskiy or Boyle probably didn't deserve to be wearing it the way they played tonight. I certainly hope there's a more innocuous explanation for what we witnessed tonight. Maybe the flu is running through this team, which was aggravated by Garrison leaving in the Second Period. I can't explain it, otherwise. The team looked slow. They made wave after wave of really idiotic turnovers. They looked physically and mentally fatigued to the extent that they didn't even seem to want to be there. Gudas and Carle looked like corpses out there, for crying out loud. Getting outshot 48-21 by anyone is just not acceptable, and in the absence of extenuating circumstances there needs to be a closed door meeting followed by a bag skate, because this just cannot happen.
Cedric Paquette was -1 with 2 penalty minutes 2 hits and 1 blocked shot in 15:11. If Yzerman looks to make a shake up move, I wouldn't be shocked to see Paquette and Namestnikov trade places soon. Paquette took a bad offensive zone boarding call and he's seen his offensive contributions vanish while taking about 1 minor penalty a night. That means, sadly for him, he might have to be the one who gets shook in the shake up.
Jonathan Drouin had 1 hit in 13:19. He ended up getting himself pulled off the Stamkos line because they were generating nothing. Zero shots on goal and only one even attempted isn't good enough.

NCAA Game Night: 12-19-14
Submitted by chad on December 20, 2014 - 09:08Team USA 5 vs No. 1 Boston University Terriers 2 (Exhibition)
D Anthony DeAngelo, USA: 1-0-1, +2, 0 PIM, 1 SOG
W Adam Erne, USA: 0-0-0, E, 0 PIM, 4 SOG
D John MacLeod, BU: 0-0-1, -2, 0 PIM, 0 SOG
Season totals: 15 GP, 2-3-5, +6, 34 PIM
2013-2014 totals: 19 GP, 1-4-5, +1, 36 PIM
USA's pre-World Junior Championship lineup defeated No. 1 Boston University in an exhibition game Friday, 5-2. Jack Eichel (2015) captained Team USA, which was odd considering he plays for BU normally. He scored a goal.
Anthony DeAngelo had an empty-net goal for USA, an extra positive considering the offensive defenseman was on the ice in a defensive situation. Fellow Lightning prospect Adam Erne, thought to be a lock to play for USA again, was on the fourth line and was one of three cuts after the game. He'll return to Quebec while DeAngelo continues to secure a spot on the team. Media speculation is Erne was a victim of forward depth, but that's odd considering Erne was on the team last year (though he had one assist in five games), provides a power forward presence, and is one of the better 19-year-olds in the world. Others have speculated Erne was an example of meritocracy, saying all spots must be earned from a clean slate.
For the Terriers, John MacLeod played but the defenseman did not factor into the scoring.
In other World Juniors news, congratulations to Brayden Point for making Team Canada. Going into the camps, Point was thought to be firmly on the bubble, whereas Erne was thought to be a lock.

Once again, Florida spotted Gwinnett two 1st period goals, but stormed back with four-straight goals to keep their seven-game win streak alive. At the head of the rally was Lightning defensive prospect Artem Sergeev who notched his sixth goal of the season, and goals in back-to-back games against the Gladiators. Sergeev was on the ice for three of Florida's five goals, earning First Star of the game. With 10 points in 19 games, Sergeev is on pace for a 20 goal/40 point season. Jeff Costello also scored in the 4-goal rally and earned Third Star honors. The Everblades now break for the holidays, not playing again until Dec 27th against Orlando.

AHL Game Night: 12-19-14 Crunch at Wolf Pack
Submitted by pete on December 19, 2014 - 21:23The yak is still on the loose.
Kristers Gudlevskis stopped all 24 shots he faced for the victory and his first shutout of the campaign. He's won his last 4 starts allowing just 3 total goals in the last 3 of those starts, while running his season save percentage back up to .906 in the process. Now things get very interesting in Syracuse, once Vasilevskiy returns, because this is what we expected coming into the year. These are two of the best prospect netminders around, and they'll be in a knock-down, drag-out for starts all season long. The competition is going to push both guys to play better than they ever thought possible. It's going to be great to see unfold.
First Period
Second Period
SYR Richard, (5) (Koekkoek), 2:12
SYR Namestnikov, (3) (Nesterov, Marchessault)
Third Period
Gudlevskis and Tanner Richard were the game's first and second stars. As of this posting, Richard's +18 mark is second best in the AHL behind the +21 of Manchester's Nick Shore. I should also point out that, on top of the game winning helper he had tonight, Nikita Nesterov hasn't had a minus game in a full month, when he had a -1 outing on 11/19 against Hartford. He's been +9 since that game, taking him up to +9 for the year. He was -2 last year and the 13 points he has in 28 games this season is 3 off the 16 he posted as a rookie in 54 games last season. So, like Richard, here's a player who had some holes in his game who seems to be rounding the corner a bit. Nice to see. Slater Koekkoek, oh by the way, has helpers in 3 of the last 4 games.
Tomorrow, Syracuse draws Albany at home.

NHL Game Night: 12-19-14 Lightning at Devils
Submitted by pete on December 19, 2014 - 21:09Lightning manage to wrestle 1 point out of the quicksand.
Evgeny Nabokov allowed 2 goals on 18 shots before allowing 1 of 3 to convert in the penalty shot session for the SO loss. I'll give him full marks for battling tonight, but that was hard to watch. The first goal was a fluky goal that he put into his own cage. Okay. But, the second goal cannot be allowed at any level of hockey and he got the benefit of 5 or 6 posts tonight on top of that. The Lightning have a real issue there, and the solution may be figuring out some way to shuttle one of the two good goaltenders they have in Syracuse up in back-to-back situations from here on out, which is a roster challenge, but may be necessary. You could've timed that second goal from shot to net with a sun dial it fluttered so slowly.
First Period
3:01 NJ Henrique (9), (Greene, Gomez)(PP)
15:17 NJ Elias (4), (Havlat, Henrique)
Second Period
14:55 TB Stamkos (19), (Callahan, Drouin)
Third Period
19:19 TB Kucherov (13), (Callahan, Garrison)
NJ- Elias
Nikita Kucherov was the game's first star.
Glass half full: they managed to squeeze a point out of a game where they trailed New Jersey in the Third Period. That's no small feat, and part of climbing out of the big hole that they were in was one of the better passing displays we've seen in the last 3-4 weeks, especially in the Second Period. I also thought Radko Gudas, coming off a stomach bug, might've played his best game of the season tonight at both ends of the rink.
Glass half empty: the goaltending was bad. The power play might've actually been worse, though. 0-for-5 on the power play tonight and one was a key double minor in the Third Period while they were pushing to tie the game where they got nothing going. Nothing. At some point as the season progresses, Yzerman seriously needs to find a righty PP QB to acquire via trade. Nothing they're doing to try to free up Stamkos with lefties at center point is working, and it's becoming counterproductive trying to force set pieces his way or asking him to force passes back through the seam to Filppula, who can't do anything with them because he's not a shooter.
Cedric Paquette had 2 hits and 1 blocked shot in 12:39 and he also was 44% on draws.
Jonathan Drouin had a helper and was +1 with 2 shots and 1 hit in 21:15. Circle that ice time number. Playing with Stamkos for the full game, this was the first time Cooper really let Drouin out of the stable, and I think Stamkos in particular responded well with 10 shot attempts tonight. My big thing with Drouin now, though, is that team's are playing him as a pass first guy. He needs to shoot it more. 2 shots is more than he's been getting, but he only had 3 shot attempts total. I want to see him at a minimum of 4 shot attempts a game from here on out. Stamkos won't mind, Jonathan. 91 likes rebound goals, too.

Life, at least temporarily, without Allen York began for the Everblades Wednesday night after his recall to Syracuse earlier in the week as part of the ripple effect of the Ben Bishop injury. Gwinnett jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead, but the Blades stormed back scoring five straight, topped off by Bolt prospect Artem Sergeev's power-play marker early in the 3rd that would become the eventual game-winner. Kevin Lynch, fresh off signing his AHL contract with Syracuse, tallied in his first game back with Florida. Both Jeff Costello and Mike Aviani had helpers in the five-goal run. Gwinnett, losers of four straight, will get another chance to end the East Division leader's six-game win streak on Friday night.

AHL Game Night: 12-17-14 Crunch at Americans
Submitted by pete on December 17, 2014 - 20:57The Killer G's.
Kristers Gudlevskis allowed 2 goals on 29 shots for the victory. That's two straight quality starts for Kristers since Vasilevskiy started to show his Latvian tandem-mate his tail lights, and he squared his save percentage away at exactly .900 with his effort tonight.
First Period
SYR Paradis, (7) (Mormina, Gourde), 1:19
RCH Ellis, (7) (McCabe, Pysyk), 18:20 (PP)
Second Period
SYR Gourde, (12) (Richard, Koekkoek), 5:24
RCH Ruhwedel, (6) (Irwin), 11:28 (PP)
Third Period
SYR Blunden, (4) (Angelidis, Kunyk), 2:14
Yanni Gourde and Mike Blunden were the game's first and second stars. Gourde, who along with Gudlevskis was the other Killer G in tonight's contest, is now tied for 3rd in the league in goals, as of this posting. He's just 2 back of the league leader right now and is doing his best to be the next diminutive, undrafted Lightning gem, following in the footsteps of Conacher and Johnson before him.
Here's a stat that you could've won a lot of money with before this season: Tanner Richard is tied for second in the league in +/- right now at +17. His point tonight helped him match his scoring totals from all of last season (17 points) in 38 less games, and his +/- has improved dramatically from the -9 mark he posted last year. The light has come on for the pesky Richard, who looks to fit a future role as a two-way third liner who can create as a playmaker and has a little bit of instigator's edge to him, too.
Syracuse's win moves them into a tie with Springfield for the division lead at 37 points and they currently sit at second in the Eastern Conference by virtue of this 7-game winning streak/magic carpet ride they're on. Although they don't yet have the ridiculously good defensive stats and goal differential, this is starting to take on the appearance of one of the old Jon Cooper teams: long winning streaks, plenty of goals, and also, at this moment, tied for second in the league in penalty minutes, too. Fast, talented, and rough and tough when they need to be.

Angelidis Leading Syracuse's Charge Back to Postseason
Submitted by chad on December 17, 2014 - 15:29Mike Angelidis battled for space with a couple players on the blue line and bolted for the front of the net.
The puck rebounded off Utica netminder Joacim Eriksson, bounced right to Angelidis' skate, and into the back of the net. The Crunch captain's 10th goal of the season tied the game with a little more than two minutes left in regulation, and Syracuse went on to win its sixth-straight in overtime Saturday night.
It was the ultimate example of Angelidis' play -- a clutch play, albeit not flashy, when the Crunch needed it the most. The 29-year-old's ability to lead by example has put Syracuse in second place in the Northeast Division and fourth in the Eastern Conference.

I enjoyed seeing the characters in a different light. I especially enjoyed how the first song played in the beginning of the episode was also the first song we heard in the pilot. Also, the other musical selections were from the earlier seasons of Grey's so the throw back to those episodes was great.
100% (5 out of 5)! Love Grey's!! Can't wait for it to return!!

The effect of a training course on mental health nurses' attitudes on the reasons of patient aggression and its management
ABSTRACT Aggression in healthcare systems poses a major problem for nurses because they are the most susceptible to suffer violence. Studies demonstrate that attitudes of nurses influence their behaviour regarding aggression and violence. Training programmes can positively change nurses' attitudes. This quasi-experimental study aimed to examine the effects of a systematic training course in aggression management on mental health nurses' attitudes about the reasons for patients' aggression and on its management. Sixty-three nurses (29 in the intervention and 34 in the control group) participated in this quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test study. The attitude of the participants of a training course was recorded by the German version of the Management of Aggression and Violence Attitude Scale (MAVAS). No significant attitude changes occurred in the intervention group at post-test. It is concluded that trainings intending to influence attitudes regarding the reason for patient aggression should consider the impact of the pedagogical quality of the training course, organizational support, and the user's perception. Moreover, it remains questionable to what extent a single instrument of measurement can record attitude changes.

ABSTRACT: In psychiatry, most of the focus on patient aggression has been in adolescent and adult inpatient settings. This behaviour is also common in elderly people with mental illness, but little research has been conducted into this problem in old age psychiatry settings. The attitudes of clinical staff toward aggression may affect the way they manage this behaviour. The purpose of this study was to examine the attitudes of clinical staff toward the causes and management of aggression in acute old age psychiatry inpatient settings. A convenience sample of clinical staff were recruited from three locked acute old age psychiatry inpatient units in Melbourne, Australia. They completed the Management of Aggression and Violence Scale, which assessed the causes and managment of aggression in psychiatric settings. Eighty-five staff completed the questionnaire, comprising registered nurses (61.1%, n = 52), enrolled nurses (27.1%, n = 23) and medical and allied health staff (11.8%, n = 10). A range of causative factors contributed to aggression. The respondents had a tendency to disagree that factors directly related to the patient contributed to this behaviour. They agreed patients were aggressive because of the environment they were in, other people contributed to them becoming aggressive, and patients from certain cultural groups were prone to these behaviours. However, there were mixed views about whether patient aggression could be prevented, and this type of behaviour took place because staff did not listen to patients. There was agreement medication was a valuable approach for the management of aggression, negotiation could be used more effectively in such challenging behaviour, and seclusion and physical restraint were sometimes used more than necessary. However, there was disagreement about whether the practice of secluding patients should be discontinued. Aggression in acute old age psychiatry inpatient units occurs occasionally and is problematic. A range of causative factors contribute to the onset of this behaviour. Attitudes toward the management of aggression are complex and somewhat contradictory and can affect the way staff manage this behaviour; therefore, wide-ranging initiatives are needed to prevent and deal with this type of challenging behaviour.BMC Psychiatry 03/2014; 14(1):80. · 2.24 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Patient aggression occurs in old age psychiatry and is problematic. The aim of this study is to identify the factors that influence clinicians' attitudes toward aggression in old age psychiatry. Eighty-five individuals, comprising nurses (n = 75) and medical and allied health staff (n = 10), completed the questionnaire. The results show that gender, profession, and work experience do not affect attitudes toward aggression. A low score indicated agreement with an attitudinal statement. However, younger age, better higher level of completed education, and place of work increased the likelihood of participants endorsing the questionnaire's attitudinal statements about aggression. The findings suggest clinicians' attitudes may affect the way they attempt to prevent and manage aggression.Issues in Mental Health Nursing 07/2014; 35(7):542-550. -

ABSTRACT: Die Öffnung der Türen akutpsychiatrischer Stationen ist ein "Schlüssel" zu einer patientenbezogenen Psychiatrie. Gemeint ist, dass Patienten in ihrer Persönlichkeit ernst genommen werden wie in ihrer Krankheit. Patienten und ihre Angehörigen sollen ein hohes Maß in der Partizipation an der Behandlung erfahren und sich zugleich Behandlungsteams gegenüber sehen, die in einer empathischen Grundhaltung darum bemüht sind, Vertrauen und Sicherheit in der therapeutische Beziehung zu erarbeiten. Diese vorliegende Arbeit widmet sich therapeutischen Maßnahmen, einzelnen Skills und Veränderungen von Rahmenbedingungen der Akutbehandlung, die hilfreich sein können, die skizzierte Grundüberzeugung einer wesentlichen Beziehungsarbeit in der Psychiatrie und Förderung der Selbst- und Mitbestimmung der Patienten praktisch umzusetzen (z. B. Vermeidung von Patientenkonzentrationen auf Akutabteilungen, Schulungen des Personals, Einschätzung von Gewaltrisiken, Gewaltdeeskalation, Umgang mit Suizidalität etc.). Sie sollen helfen, präventiv, aber auch in entstehenden schwierigen Situationen drohender Selbst- und Fremdgefährdung, der Aggression und Gewalt auf Abteilungen professionell gegenüber zu treten und damit den Prozess einer Türöffnung in der Psychiatrie vorzubereiten.Der Nervenarzt · 0.86 Impact Factor

Aggression in the healthcare system is an important topic for
nurses, because among all groups of health professions they
are the most prone to suffer violence (Rippon 2000, Cooper
& Swanson 2002, Whittington & Higgins 2002). Studies
show that patient aggression can provoke negative effects on
staff's psychological and physical well-being (Stanko 2002),
on job motivation of healthcare staff, and the quality of care
(Arnetz & Arnetz 2001). In Switzerland 72% of nurses
working in psychiatric settings feel seriously threatened and
70% have reported being attacked at least once during their
nursing career (Abderhalden
sectional survey on the management of patient aggression
in Switzerland demonstrates a lack of systematic staff train-
ing in aggression management, the suboptimal use of risk
assessment, and considerable heterogeneity in the manage-
ment of patient aggression (Needham

As nurses' attitudes about the reasons for patient
aggression may influence their management of aggressive
patients (Whittington & Higgins 2002; Collins 1994), it is
important to have instruments to capture and monitor
such views. One approach to describe nurses' attitude
towards the motives of patients' aggression and its man-
agement in psychiatric nursing care reveals three different
attitude models: the 'internal', the 'external', and the
'situational/interactional' model. In the 'internal' model
inherent characteristics of the patients are viewed to be
the cause of patient aggression and violence (Outlaw &
Lowery 1994, Duxbury 1999, 2002). This common atti-
tude in psychiatric nursing practice is underpinned by the
biomedical model and justifies the use of medical treatment
for aggressive patient. It also tends to free the individual
from responsibility (Poster 1996, Duxbury 1999). The
'external' model focuses on environmental factors contrib-
uting to the incidence of patient aggression. Sources for
patient aggression are seen, for example, in the ward atmo-
sphere (Morrison 1998), overcrowding (Nijman & Rector
1999) or the time that assaults occur. Other factors include
staff characteristics like gender, interaction, and experi-
ences (Whittington & Wykes 1994). The 'external' model
demands a broad spectrum of intervention strategies in
the prevention and management of patient aggression. The
'situational/interactional' model in contrast refers to the
overall context in which aggressive incidents occur and
incorporates the variables of the 'internal' and the 'exter-
nal' models. The staff–patient interaction is seen as an inte-
gral part of this model (Whittington & Wykes 1994,
Duxbury 1999, 2002).
The management of patient aggression usually encom-
passes preventive measures, de-escalation techniques, and
traditional methods such as restraint, medication, and
seclusion. Mental health nurses' attitudes on the reasons
for patient aggression and its management are strongly
connected. The 'internal' model leads nurses more often
to use traditional management methods rather than
approaches that reflect the 'external' or the 'situational/
interactional' models. Duxbury (2002) maintains that cer-
tain attitudes of mental health nurses may lead to the use of
isolation and mechanical restraint in dealing aggression.
Such interventions are judged to be problematical by
patients, relatives, and nursing staff alike (Eriksson &
Westrin 1995, Olofsson & Jacobsson 2001, Bonner
2002). These studies indicate the necessity to modulate atti-
tudes which increase the use of preventive measures, com-
munication skills and de-escalation techniques by mental
health nurses to help prevent patient aggression.
Many studies emphasize the importance of courses in
aggression management to improve the practical and the-
oretical knowledge of nurses (Collins 1994, Nolan
et al
et al
1999, Delaney
et al
. 2002) and various studies demonstrate some effects
of training courses. However, only a minority of studies
investigate the consequences of such trainings on attitudes
and their effect on nurses' behaviour in dealing with
aggressive patients such as enhanced awareness of violence
(Arnetz & Arnetz 2001), attitude change, satisfaction with
the management of aggression, anxiety reduction (Paterson
et al
. 1992, Collins 1994, Beech 1999, Grube 2001),
enhanced confidence in nurses' ability combined with a
strong will to change personal behaviour (Calabro
2002). Despite some methodological shortcomings these
studies indicate the impact of training programmes to
induce some positive attitudinal change.
In contrast with these findings a recent Swiss random-
ized controlled trial showed no significant change of
attitude regarding patients after completion of a training
course in aggression management (Needham
Another study investigating the effect of a training course
on nurses' attitudes showed no significant change in nurses'
attitudes about the patients' motivation and responsibility
for aggression (Collins 1994). However, Collins (1994)
demonstrated that participants perceived the reasons for
patient violence to be located in the 'internal' model.
The relevant literature shows that training programmes
have the potential to induce positive change in nurses' atti-
tudes regarding the prevention and the management of
patient aggression. However, there is a lack of controlled
studies measuring the effect of such trainings regarding
nurses' changes of attitudes on reasons for patient aggres-
sion, towards the 'external' or the 'situational/interac-
tional' models and on the effects on nurses' behaviour. This
paucity of evidence was the starting point of this study. The
research questions were:
. Does a training course in aggression management
change nurses' attitude towards the 'external' or the
'situational/interactional' models regarding the reasons
for patient aggression?
. What is the influence of the training course on nurses'
attitude regarding the management of patient
et al
. 2001, Needham
et al
. 2002, Spokes
et al
et al
. 2005).
Design and subjects
The research questions were investigated employing a
quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design on two
groups – the intervention and the control group. Ninety-
three nurses working on six acute psychiatric wards in
three psychiatric hospitals in the German-speaking part of
Switzerland were requested to answer a questionnaire. The

three hospitals are comparable in size and services. The
intervention group consisted of 29 nurses working on three
wards in two hospitals, where a training in aggression
management was administered (intervention wards). The
controls were 34 nurses working on three wards in one
hospital without training.
Ethical considerations
In order to gain access to the nurses, Cantonal Ethical
Committee approval was sought and received. After being
given verbal information about the research project, each
nurse wishing to participate received a written study
description including its aim, methods, intervention, the
questionnaires and information on the voluntary nature of
participation. To ensure the confidentiality and anonymity
the names of the participants were encoded. Because the
intervention and questionnaire focus on patient aggression,
which could possibly trigger negative emotions, each insti-
tution appointed a qualified support person. Additionally,
contact with the researchers was available by phone or e-
mail to answer emerging questions.
The participants' attitude was recorded by the Manage-
ment of Aggression and Violence Attitude Scale (MAVAS)
developed and tested by Duxbury (2002). This scale dem-
onstrates good stability (Pearsons
validity. Factor analysis of 162 questionnaires rendered a
four-factor solution with all items loading
correspond to the three attitude models and the manage-
ment approach mentioned above (Duxbury 2002).
The MAVAS contains socio-biographic items and 27
statements – nine statements on the 'internal', six on the
'external' and six on the 'situational/interactional' models –
about the perceived causes of patients' aggression. Further-
more, six statements reflect the general management
approach. The instrument employs a Visual-Analogue-
Scale (VAS) format ranging from 0 millimetres (mm)
('strongly agree') to 100 mm ('strongly disagree'). Based on
the data on this study the four dimensions of the German
version of the MAVAS revealed Cronbach's alphas of
0.54 for the 'internal', 0.41 for the 'external', 0.25 for the
'situational/interactional' model, and for the management
approach 0.71.
A professional German-speaking translator translated
the MAVAS into German. Back-translation was performed
by a native English-speaking psychiatric nurse. The Ger-
man version of the questionnaire was piloted on five nurses
having more than 5 years' experience in acute psychiatric
nursing. They deemed the 27 questions of the MAVAS to be

confirmed the internal validity of the scale and agreed that

validity) in Swiss psychiatric nursing.
The 5-day aggression management training programme
developed in the Netherlands (Oud 1997) consisted of
24 lessons lasting 50 min and was offered during work-
ing hours. The course uses problem-based learning and
includes a mixture of theoretical elements, exchange of
experience and hands-on training. The participants were
encouraged to perceive aggression from an interactional
and situative context and to develop their interventions
accordingly. The following areas were covered:
definitions of aggression, violence and sexual
nature and prevalence of aggression;
theories of aggression;
nursing care plans;
nursing interventions (prediction, prevention, com-
munication, breakaway techniques, boundary setting
and the use of measures to limit patients' freedom);
post-incident care;
the ethics of aggression management;
ward security.
The pre-test measurement was conducted 1 week prior
to the training course and the post-test measurement
3 months post intervention.
Data analysis
At baseline the Chi-square test was used to compare nurses'
socio-biographical data and Mann–Whitney tests (owing
to the non-normal distribution of the data) for two inde-
pendent samples were employed to analyse the equivalence
of the MAVAS between the two groups at item level.
The attitudes about reasons and causes regarding patient
aggression were measured in terms of agreement or dis-
agreement with the three models and the management
method by using the pooled means of all statements. To cal-
culate the non-normally distributed data pooled means
with three ordinals level were computed to express the
degree of participants' agreement or disagreement on the
four dimensions. The ordinal scale was derived by trans-
forming the data of the VAS using the following proce-
dure: 'agree'
0–40 mm, 'indecisive'
61–100 mm. To detect changes within the two
groups the results of the MAVAS at baseline were com-
pared with the results at post-test using the Wilcoxon
signed rank test for matched pairs. A probability of less
41–60 mm, and

than 0.01 was considered to indicate statistical significance.
Statistics were performed using the SPSS software (version
11.0, SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL).
Sixty-three nurses from the six wards participated (68%),
29 in the intervention group and 34 in the control group
(with respond rates of 66% and 69% respectively). The
demographic characteristics are shown in Table 1.
Testing of group differences at baseline
At baseline:
. The nurses of the intervention and control groups did
not differ (
0.1) in their socio-demographical char-
acteristics (sex, age, education level, post-diploma
education, professional experiences and degree of
. The Mann–Whitney tests for two independent samples
revealed no differences between the groups (
the responses to the statements in the MAVAS at item
level. However, on the item 'patients who are violent are
often restrained for their own safety' the experimental
group scored much higher than the control group
81 vs. 35; U
. The adherence to the 'external' model was the strongest
followed by the 'internal' model with only a minority of
nurses favouring the 'situational/interactional' model.
There was a large percentage of indecisive responses in
all four scales. The participants agreed that a general
management approach is needed (Table 2).

Effect of the intervention
Three months after intervention the Wilcoxon signed
rank test for matched pairs showed no significant attitude
change after the training course in aggression management
in the intervention group (
0.01) on each of the 27 items
of the MAVAS at item level. None of the attitudes on the
three models and on the management approach as mea-
sured by the pooled median of all statements changed in the
intervention group (
0.01). Table 3 shows the results of
the Wilcoxon signed rank test for matched pairs on the
three models and the management approach. The control
group remained stable on all measures.
The results at post-intervention demonstrate that the
adherence to the three models and the 'general manage-
ment approach' remain stabile after intervention (Table 2).
This study set out to record any attitudinal change about
the reasons for patients' aggression and its management as
measured by the German version of the MAVAS. Given the
aims and content of the training course, a change in the
attitude in direction of the 'external' or 'situational/
interactional' model and a broad management strategy was
expected. Such attitudinal changes are deemed important
for mental health nursing care. Scientific literature (Eriks-
son & Westrin 1995, Olofsson & Jacobsson 2001, Bonner
et al
. 2002) and new professional mental health nursing
literature in the German-speaking area (Sauter
suggest the use of more preventive measures, communica-
tion skills and de-escalation techniques in their professional
management of patient aggression. However, the results
show no significant effect of the intervention to influence
nurses' attitudes.

Attitudes on reasons for patient aggression
Various explanations are offered regarding the lack of
effect of the training programme on nurses' attitudes. First,
the training programme is possibly not strong enough to
have an effect. Second, the attitudes of the respondents may
be too stabile to be effected by the training. Third, the
instrument is perhaps not sensitive enough to show the atti-
tudinal change. Fourth, it is also possible that the stable
attitudes are attributable to professional socialization.

First, the capacity of the intervention to change attitude
may also depend upon the pedagogical and didactical
quality of the training course, on the support the course
offered by the organization, and the user's perception of
the utility of the training course (Brent 1994, Kitson et al.
1998). The content of the course included elements
according to a current social-psychological model (Seel
2003). This model maintains that attitudes consist of emo-
tion (affective component), opinions and convictions (cog-
nitive component and knowledge structure), and actions
relating to the object in question. In order to induce atti-
tudinal change all three components were addressed in
the training course. Given the stability of attitudes, it is
believed that the course duration of five days may have
been too short. From an organizational perspective the
interdisciplinary training had the full support of hospital
management and key persons were at the participants' dis-
posal to support the participants with practical problems.
Possibly more interventions at the organizational level, for
example the use of guidelines, the exchange of experiences
in refresher courses or the concurrent use of an instrument
to predict patient aggression, may be necessary. The per-
ceived utility of the training course by the participants may
be reflected in one statement of the MAVAS which stated
that 'patient aggression could be handled more effectively
on this ward'. Although the majority of participants
responded indecisively, most of the nurses were anecdot-
ally in support of the value of the training course which
may suggest some type of attitudinal change not detected
by the MAVAS.
Second, nurses' attitudes about the reason of patients'
aggression and its management correspond in differing
degrees to the three models described by Duxbury (2002).
In contrast to other studies demonstrating the primacy of
the 'internal' model (Outlaw & Lowery 1994, Duxbury
2002) the nurses in this study were more convinced by the
'external' model. The predominance of the responses to
this model at baseline measurement and the fact that the
training programme utilized elements from all three models
could explain attitudinal stability and uncertainty about a
preference for one model.
Third, the use of a VAS to measure attitude may pose
problems. Such instruments often measure only the cogni-
tive components of attitude (Seel 2003). Therefore, it is
possible, that this study did not detect important compo-
nents of an attitude change (affective components or han-
dling skills). The MAVAS was not originally constructed to
detect changes in attitude and has previously never been
used to measure these. However, during face validity test-
ing prior to the use of the instrument the experts who filled
in the MAVAS deemed the instrument capable of detecting
attitudinal change at post-test after 3 months.
Finally, the 'situational/interactional' model is complex
and encompasses a combination of influencing factors seen
to trigger aggression. In this model patient–nurse interac-
tion plays a more important role than in the 'external'
model. Seel (2003) maintains that individuals learn group
and institutional values through a socialization process.
Thus, the predominant attitude of the profession may have
had a strong effect on the individuals. Should this be the
case then changes at an individual level could only be
expected after institutional change. As Poster (1996) notes,
attitudes based on internal factors pertaining to the cause
of patient aggression may offer some kind of assurance. For
example, a nurse demonstrating poor communication and
nursing skills could theoretically rely upon this model to
attribute the development of resulting aggression to the
patient and thus evade personal involvement and account-
ability. The use of the 'internal' model as such is then used
as a type of 'defence mechanism'. Changes towards prin-
ciples underpinned by the 'situational/interactional' model
would, in contrast, imply a need for a reorganization of
values and coping strategies at an institutional level.
Effect on the attitudes about the management of patient
No change was registered regarding attitudes about the
management of aggression following the training course.
Responses regarding the 'general' management approach
remained stable. The respondents remained faithful to 'tra-
ditional management strategies' (e.g. isolation and medica-
tion), a finding corroborated by other studies (Brown &
Tooke 1992, Tooke & Brown 1992, Olofsson et al. 1998,
Duxbury 1999, 2002). Regarding the 'general' manage-
ment approach the participants reported that communica-
tion and negotiation skills could be used in a more effective
manner. However, the responses show that the nurses
doubt whether the management of aggression could in fact
be improved. These somewhat ambiguous findings show
that nurses may be critical of existing approaches to man-
age aggression, but are unsure of methods that could be
employed to improve the situation.
Various limitations apply to this study. One obvious limi-
tation is the non-randomization of the groups which was
not possible for practical reasons. Also, with 29 persons in
the intervention and 34 in the control group the sample is
rather small. Although the VAS is a recognized method
of representing opinion and subjective experience (Polit
& Hungler 1999), the danger of the tendency towards
response in a middle category of the scale exists. As noted

Attitudes on reasons for patient aggression
above the MAVAS may not be sensitive enough to register
change. Furthermore, the poor measures of internal valid-
ity as measured by Cronbach's alpha on our data set under-
score the necessity for further psychometric testing of the
German version of the MAVAS prior to future use. It must
also be noted that this study was not designed to test any
possible linkages between nurses perceptions as measured
by the MAVAS and their practical performance. Thus, this
study cannot establish external validity of the MAVAS.
This question should be addressed in further studies.
In spite of the anonymity of the responses we cannot
exclude the possibility of social conformity. Furthermore,
the post-intervention measurement after 3 months may
have been too short a time frame to allow for attitudinal
change. Given these limitations the study results must be
interpreted with some degree of caution.
This study demonstrates that the training course offered
in isolation is insufficient to change attitudes towards the
'external', and the 'situational/interactional' model. Other
possible measures should address the change in organiza-
tional values. The nurses in this study were more convinced
by the 'external' model, than in other studies. This study
also shows that the MAVAS should be subjected to further
psychometric testing in our Swiss setting. Further research
must allow for a greater time frame for potential change. In
spite of the lack of statistically significant attitude changes
the participants reported on an anecdotal basis numerous
practical advantages attributable to the course. This sug-
gests the use of qualitative studies to discover the effects
not detected in this study. Such research could pave the way
for improvements in existing approaches to aggression
management and a reduction in the negative consequences
for patients and carers alike.

The 2004 flick, Mean Girls, written by Tina Fey remains one of my favorite teen films of all times. For the movie's 10th anniversary, EW invited the film's female leads to come together and dish about their memories, behind-the-scenes magic, and what they think their characters would be doing now.
These are some of my favorite Mean Girls quotes:
"On Wednesdays we wear pink." (I've actually written posts about this one).
"Gretchen, stop trying to make fetch happen! It's not going to happen!"
"I'm sorry I called you a gap-toothed bitch. It's not your fault you're so gap-toothed."
You can read this delicious interview on EW's site, here.
This week Emma Stone visited the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and it reminded me of her last visit in the spring when Fallon challenged Stone to a lip sync battle. Who would've guessed that Stone would annihilate Fallon? I love this clip, but for all you ADHD types out there, if you get impatient fast forward to 5:20.
Have a great Saturday.

The McCarthy's is a new sitcom on CBS that takes place in Boston later this month. The lead role stars former NKOTB singer, Joey McIntyre. I hadn't heard of the show until I read Out.com's review, which by the way panned it.
Out.com reviewer, Daniel D'Addario, wrote, "The problem is that Ronny [played by Joey McIntyre] is the kind of walking cliché that savvy viewers would think disappeared sometime between Will & Grace and Happy Endings." (outch!)
D'Addario describes the portrayal of the gay character played by Joey McIntyre as something that would have been in vogue 10-15 years ago. While I've never been one to put too much credence on reviews, some of the critiques make me cringe. Hopefully a more interesting storyline will emerge following the pilot. Do you plan to watch The McCarthy's?

I'll be the first to admit I love Beyonce, but her lyrics are ridiculous. Little BoBo (actress Nina Millin) on YouTube has created a series of posts called The Beyoncelogues where she offers dramatic readings of Beyonce's redick lyrics. The result is hilarious. Enjoy.
Chelsea Handler's popular show, Chelsea Lately, on E Television will end on Tuesday, August 26th. I'm not sure what is next for the author of Are You There, Vodka? It's Me Chelsea. Her show has given a number of comedians an excellent platform, and I really liked her format which is very different from other night time talk shows on television.
I have no idea who will follow Stephen Colbert after he replaces David Letterman on CBS, but I'd love to see her follow Stephen and replace the Craig Ferguson Late Show.

Comments about Staples® Luxura® Square Back Stacking Chair, Black: One chair was fine, the other was badly misdrilled for the screws. If my husband was not so handy as to re-drill the holes, it would have been returned.

Hi Sally, This sounds like my grandad's youngest brother - Harry Dymond married Winifred Clear in about 1937 and they lived in Perivale. He had a daughter from his first marriage (to Helena) called Muriel and I think she had a son. What's your connection? Looking forward to hearing from you. Notify Administrator about this message?

You may remember a bit of talk about the Miezu M9 a few months back. We're not expected to see it stateside, as it's likely to just be sold in the Asian market. However, a team of developers has brought a mostly-functional ROM of the M9 to the EVO. It still needs a little polish, but EVO owners who are curious to see what all the M9 fuss is about may have an opportunity to do that very soon. It's likely that this ROM will be finished up and available in the near future.
Of course, always make a backup of your existing ROM first. The EVO is one of the most popular Android phones on the market, so it'd be a shame for anything to happen to yours. But as long as you've got a good backup, what's the harm in giving it a shot? After all, Android will let you do exactly that.
