Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Perception of Aggression ScaleProcedure (one day after the training)

The scale has a 5-point Likert-type rating system ranging from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (5) and consists of 29 items. The items have two subscales: functional (functional - acceptable / healthy response) and dysfunctional (dysfunctional - unacceptable / undesirable aggression). For each subscale, the average of the relevant item scores will be calculated.

Broset Violence ChecklistProcedure (one day after the training)

A score of "1" is given in the presence of each item of the BVC, and "0" in the absence of it. In the next evaluations of the patient, if there is an increase in the relevant item compared to the previous one, the behavior score is scored as "1", the habitual or same level behavior is considered absent and scored as "0". If there is no more in the case of a patient with a flood than before, the relevant item score should be "0". If an increase in the level of exuberance is observed, it should be scored as "1". After the six items are scored in this way, the evaluation is made over the total score. A total score of "0" indicates that the patient has a low severity risk level. "1- 2 points" indicates moderate risk of violence and necessitates measures to prevent violence. "3-6 points" refers to a high risk of violence.
