Riassunto
Questo capitolo presenta un modello clinico per la valutazione del rischio di violenza a breve termine. La valutazione del rischio di violenza nei pazienti dovrebbe essere fatta da tutte le figure professionali che abbiano una relazione con un paziente finalizzata alla diagnosi o alla cura: psichiatri e altri medici, psicologi, infermieri, assistenti sociali, terapisti della riabilitazione, e tutti coloro che hanno responsabilità nei confronti dei pazienti. Un medico incorre nella responsabilità di valutare il rischio di violenza quando visita un paziente in Pronto Soccorso e deve decidere se ricoverarlo o dimetterlo; quando vede un paziente in un ambulatorio per la prima volta e tra una visita ambulatoriale e l’altra; quando decide di ricoverare un soggetto in un reparto di degenza e deve stabilire il grado di osservazione, oppure quando deve effettuare trattamenti immediati all’arrivo di un paziente in ospedale. Tale responsabilità valutativa emerge anche durante i processi diagnostico-terapeutici intra-ospedalieri e può portare anche alla necessità di dover monitorare il paziente e valutare la necessità di eventuali fasi di isolamento o contenzione. Si pone, infine, quando si decide se dimettere un paziente ricoverato e nel pianificare e implementare le cure successive alle dimissioni.
