**Topic Chosen: Workplace Violence in Nursing.**

**Specific Problem**: Workplace violence (WPV) against nurses is a pervasive problem as exacerbated by chronic understaffing, high stress at work, and lackadaisical reporting and prevention system (Yildiz et al., 2025). This can cause a lot of nurse burnout, turnover, and poor patient safety.

**Why this is important**: Workplace violence is a serious issue among nurses in the workplace which has a direct effect on nurse retention, physical and psychological health and care to patients. Studies suggest that there is a high prevalence of WPV against nurses, especially during COVID-19 (Abedi et al., 2023). This is vital not only to ensure that qualified healthcare employees remain in the profession, but also the ethical and professional standards of the profession, and the safety of healthcare environments.

**Research Question**: What evidence-based strategies such as leadership behaviors, training programs, and technological interventions can be used within healthcare organizations and nursing leadership to prevent and manage workplace violence to improve nurse safety, reduce turnover, and improve patient care outcome?

Scholarly Paper: Step 2 – Literature Summary Table & Reference List Assignment

Overview

Now that you've identified your scholarly sources in Step 1, it's time to systematically organize and analyze them to build the foundation for your evidence-based scholarly paper. This step will help you create a clear picture of what the research says about your chosen nursing issue and begin to identify the strongest solutions supported by evidence.

What You'll Do

1.
**Complete the Literature Summary Table for 3 articles** using the provided template. Choose 3 of your strongest, most relevant peer-reviewed articles that directly address solutions to your nursing issue.

2.
**Create an APA-formatted reference list** containing all 5 peer-reviewed scholarly articles you plan to use in your paper (this includes the 3 from your table plus 2 additional sources).

3.
**Develop a single-sentence thesis statement** based on the overlapping findings you identify across your sources. Look for the top 2-3 solutions that appear repeatedly across studies.

4.
**Create a screenshot document** containing the first page of each of the 5 articles used in your reference list. This validates your sources and ensures academic integrity.

Literature Summary Table Format

Here is a template you can use, or feel free to format your own in a way that helps you analyze your research findings:

Be sure to include these details for each of your 3 articles:

**Article [Number]: [Full APA Citation]**

| | |
| — | — |
| Literature Summary Table Format |
| **Component** | **Details** |
| **Year/Location** | When was the research conducted? Where was the research conducted? |
| **Purpose** | State the purpose of the study. |
| **Findings** | Summarize the SOLUTIONS to the issue/problem found in the study. |
| **Factors Discussed** | **Legal:** specific laws, licensure issues, policies<br>**Spiritual:** resiliency, hope, meaning, purpose concepts<br>**Ethical:** ethical principles, value conflicts<br>**Cultural:** societal influences, diversity, disparities<br>**Financial:** costs, savings, budget considerations |
| **Areas of Nursing** | **Practice:** responsibilities for change<br>**Administration:** leadership/management roles<br>**Education:** educator responsibilities<br>**Research:** gaps needing further study<br>**Other:** specialty areas |
| **Impact on Profession** | Positives, negatives, who benefits, sustainability |

_Note: Only include factors and nursing areas that are actually discussed in each specific article._

Thesis Statement Development

Review the "Findings" sections from all your sources. Identify the top 2-3 solutions that appear across multiple studies. Your thesis statement should be ONE sentence that captures these evidence-based solutions.

**Example:** "Individual strategies to prevent nursing burnout include engaging in mindfulness, self-care, and building strong support systems."

What to Submit

·
**Deliverable 1:** Literature Summary Table document with 3 completed tables

·
**Deliverable 2:** APA-formatted reference list with 5 sources

·
**Deliverable 3:** One-sentence thesis statement

·
**Deliverable 4:** Screenshot document showing first page of all 5 articles

·
