      abstract = {This quality improvement project sought to improve  employee confidence in coping with patient aggression in an  outpatient psychiatric private practice via de-escalation  training. Training consisted of a 50-minute didactic  presentation facilitated by a content expert that utilized  original training materials informed by Richmond’s 10  Domains of De-escalation (2012) and the content expert’s  experience in the field. The specific aim was to improve  knowledge and comfort by 15% following the intervention.  This aim was met by an average 50.41% increase in knowledge  and 15.9% increase in comfort reported by in-person  attendants (N=9). It further indicated a need for education  of best practice self-defensive strategies to improve  feelings of safety during an incident. These results  suggest that providing de-escalation training to private  practice employees may lead to improved levels of  confidence when navigating instances of patient aggression.  },
