Abstract

Psychological wellbeing of residential staff has substantial impact on the therapeutic milieu. These staff members are regularly confronted with aggression and other stressors, leading to low work satisfaction, burn-out and high staff turnover. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Non-violent Resistance (NVR), a method for professionals to cope with aggressive behaviour of children and adolescents in residential care, with respect to work climate, living group climate, and aggression. NVR was implemented using a quasi-experimental stepped wedge design at three sites providing child and adolescent residential care in the Netherlands. Work and living group climate was assessed seven times, every three months. In addition, the average number of aggressive incidents before and after NVR implementation were described.
