According to the Penguin English Dictionary (2002), research aims to make discoveries, establish facts, or enable new conclusions. Nursing research is essential in the healthcare context. It can be defined as a systematic and rigorous collection of data and used not only to help nurses but also to analyze clients' behavioral attitudes and other factors that influence the provision of care (Parahoo, 1997). Polit and Hunger (1997), state that criticism should reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of research through an objective and balanced consideration. It is obvious that nurses must understand the ethical implications of using different methodological theories in order to protect patients. Based on the evidence, this can be done by understanding how the research is conducted, the definition of data collection, and how to interpret the results (Tschudin, 2002). However, it can be argued that not all research findings are to be believed (Hunt, 1987). . Good research should capture the problem and find ways to improve the context. The phenomenon of this assignment is to focus on patients who are undergoing treatment in a highly secure forensic environment. This will highlight how violence towards healthcare workers is commonly found in mental health settings in Australia. Therefore, two key areas will be identified: first, the factors that lead to aggressive behavior and, second, strategies to reduce the risk of such behavior. The article selected to be critically reviewed is titled “Aggressive Behavior in a High Security Forensic Setting: Patients' Perceptions.” The work on this article was taken from the Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing in Australia. With relevant research and literature, it will support the work of Parahoo (1997) and P...... half of the article ...... believes that it is important to perceive other people's feelings and the ability to communicate with Listening is a basic communication skill for them. A practical suggestion is to address the social and organizational factors that underlie aggressive behavior. The researcher did not identify triggers for aggression but, interestingly, examined patients' opinions on the cause and management of aggression. When aggressive episodes are managed therapeutically, patients gain a sense of confidence and control over their situations. They feel balanced, calm and confident (Skovdahl et al., 2003b). As for nurses, when patient aggression is managed therapeutically, nurses feel a sense of balance and well-being. They tend to find their work stimulating, challenging and fun (Skovdahl et al., 2003b)....
