Doctorate Title: Occupational violence against paramedics: Hostility, mitigation practices, and the insight of behavioural theory.
Doctorate Description: Occupational violence is a significant issue within the context of prehospital health care with most paramedics reporting some form of abuse, intimidation, physical or sexual assault during the context of their work. The potential individual and organisational consequences of paramedic exposure to violence can be severe and debilitating. It is the impact and associated consequences of paramedic occupational violence that highlight the considerable importance and relevance of mitigation systems. This study utilised a generic qualitative approach to examine the effectiveness of paramedic occupational violence mitigation systems and strategies in the provision of management, support, and mitigation.
