Effects of a Violence Prevention Intervention Therapeutic Meeting With Aggression in Forensic Psychiatric Inpatient Care: Protocol for an Observational Study.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Aggression and violence are prevalent in forensic psychiatric inpatient care. These behaviors significantly impact treatment outcomes, create challenging work environments for staff, and strain relationships between patients and caregivers. Managing such behaviors poses a formidable challenge that necessitates innovative approaches and evidence-based interventions. The Therapeutic Meeting with Aggression (TERMA) model is a staff training program designed to equip staff with strategies to de-escalate patient aggression, thus reducing violence and increasing patients' and staffs' perceived safety. Objective: The aim of this project is to evaluate the violence prevention model TERMA regarding perceived safety by patients and staff and adverse events within forensic psychiatric inpatient care. In addition, the project will investigate whether the organizational culture affects the implementation of the TERMA model. Methods: The project includes an observational study with a before and after design. Implementation of the TERMA model consists of an 8-seminar staff training program. Data sources include questionnaires, medical records, and registries. Quantitative data will be analyzed using descriptive and comparative statistics. To analyze changes between measurements, dependent sample 2-tailed t tests will be used for normally distributed data, and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test will be applied when normality is not met. The project will also include qualitative interview studies, which are planned to be analyzed using qualitative inductive content analysis. Results: Participant enrollment began in July 2023 and was concluded by the end of 2024. Data collection and analysis of quantitative data are expected to be completed by early 2026, after which the study findings will be submitted for publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Collection of qualitative data is scheduled for the second half of 2025 and 2026. Conclusions: This study can add valuable knowledge about the effects of the violence prevention model TERMA.
