Workplace violence has attracted public attention in past few years, and has been identified as one of occupational hazards. Regardless of nations or occupations, it has become a global problem. Among healthcare settings, workplace violence is the particularly serious in psychiatric wards mostly from patients. In this article first addressed the types and definition of workplace violence. The epidemiological investigations on medical workplace violence were then described, followed by examining risk factors of workplace violence from psychiatric patients and prevention methods with respect to institutions and organizations, environment and personal perspective, and finally, the conclusions. This article is intended to raise the public's attention to workplace violence by introducing how psychiatric medical staff faces occupational violence from patients, and to serve as the reference for preventing workplace violence in healthcare settings. In conclusion, workplace violence from psychiatric patients is preventable. While actively controlling patients' psychiatric syndromes, institutions and organizations should draw up a formal announcement to not tolerate violence, and establish a reporting system as well as create a culture of safety around teamwork. Psychiatric medical staff should also acquire the capability of handing and preventing violence.
