Summary: Explores the relationship between levels of violence, with fear of violence, self-efficacy, staff support and burnout. Finds that services which are organized to manage violence may be better placed to support staff experiencing violence. Fear of violence may decrease with exposure to violence, perhaps due to increased self-efficacy. Training and support for staff may increase self-efficacy, thus reducing burnout. Believes that longitudinal research is needed to increase understanding of the relationship between violence and burnout.
