Working in the health care industry frequently places health care professionals in danger from ill patients, stressed families, overcrowded health care facilities, and the various situations and locations in which each individual works. The Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CIS) Management Tool was created to help those who have experienced or witnessed violence or trauma reduce their stress levels. To complete your assignment, you will read the article “Workplace violence: Differences in perceptions of nursing work between those exposed and those not exposed: A cross-sector analysis.”

Do you think the tool will be useful in reducing stress and coping with workplace violence? If so, why or why not?
