Abstract
This study's purpose was to determine the prevalence of lateral violence in a military facility and the effect of cognitive rehearsal training on its occurrence. A preintervention/postintervention study was conducted. A quantitative exploration of nurses' perceptions of lateral violence occurrence within a military setting and the effect of an intervention was planned using the Negative Acts Questionnaire-Revised. The intervention of cognitive rehearsal training was provided to perioperative nurses. Six and nine negative acts occurred daily or weekly preintervention and postintervention, respectively. However, two negative acts significantly decreased postintervention. Cognitive rehearsal training provided participants confidence to respond to perpetrators. Overt lateral violence was identified in nursing working in a military medical facility. Cognitive rehearsal training did not significantly reduce lateral violence. Further studies with larger groups comparing interventions would provide a better understanding of the value of rehearsal training among perioperative military nurses.
