According to the Penguin English Dictionary (2002), research aims to make discoveries, establish facts or enable new conclusions. Nursing research is essential in the health care context. It can be defined as a systematic and rigorous collection of data and used not only to assist nurses but also to assess clients' behavioral attitudes and other factors that influence care delivery (Parahoo, 1997). Polit and Hunger (1997), state that criticism should reflect on the strength and weakness of the research through objective and balanced consideration. It stands to reason that nurses must understand the ethical implications of using different methodological theories to protect patients. Based on evidence, this can be achieved by understanding how research is carried out, the definition of data collection and how to interpret the results (Tschudin, 2002). However, it can be argued that not all research results can be trusted (Hunt, 1987). . Good research must capture the problem and find ways to improve the context. The phenomenon of this mission is to focus on patients undergoing treatment in a highly secure forensic center. This will highlight how common violence against healthcare workers is in mental health care settings in Australia. Therefore, two key areas that will be identified are, on the one hand, the factors leading to aggressive behavior and, on the other hand, the strategies to reduce the risk of such behavior. The article selected for critical review is titled “Aggressive behavior in the high-security forensic setting: patients’ perceptions.” The work on this article is taken from the Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing in Australia. With relevant research and publications, it will support the work of Parahoo (1997) and P...... middle of article ...... believes that it is important to perceive other people's feelings and the ability to communicate with them Listening is a basic communication skill. A practical suggestion is to address the social and organizational factors that underlie aggressive behaviors. The researcher did not identify the triggers for the aggression but, interestingly, examined the patients' views on the cause and management of the aggression. When aggressive episodes are managed therapeutically, patients gain a sense of confidence and control over their situation. They feel balanced, calm and secure (Skovdahl et al., 2003b). As for nurses, when patients' aggression is managed therapeutically, they experience a feeling of balance and well-being. They tend to find their work stimulating, stimulating and fun (Skovdahl et al., 2003b).)....
