Methodology
SPSS Windows (version 18.0) was used for data management and statistical analysis. Descriptive statistics on all variables (e.g., frequencies, means, standard deviation), chi-square analyses for categorical variables, and t-test or ANOVA for continuous variables were calculated. This report represents a trend and best predictor analysis of the first and second years of data. A descriptive analysis of the overall first and second years of data is presented in this report. The descriptive analysis for the first year (by round) of data is available in a previously published report.4 An older trend analysis from the first year of data collection (rounds 1 to 4) was contrasted with a trend analysis from the second year (rounds 5 to 8). Trend analyses included likelihood ratio tests of overall differences between rounds, tests of deviation from linearity, and Wald chi-square tests of polynomial trend components (linear, quadratic, and cubic). In addition, Wald chi-square tests of adjacent rounds were conducted within year. Detailed rates for cross-classified verbal abuse and physical violence categories are presented for each round, each year, and overall. Within each seasonal quarter and overall, consecutive years were compared on rates for cross-classified verbal abuse and physical violence categories (via z-tests for independently sampled proportions).
Methodology
The study is based on quarterly surveys of a total of 3,211 emergency nurses across the country from May 2009 to February 2010. ENA collected the data at three-month intervals in order to assess whether there were fluctuations in violence over the course of a year. The study found that rates of abuse remained constant over time.
