An investigation into whether the level of experience affects the way that CMHNs assess the level of risk from clients
Thesis
way that CMHNs assess the level of risk from clients. (Dissertation). Manchester Metropolitan University

This was a small scale study that focussed on whether the level of experience affected the way that Community Mental Health Nurses (CMHN) assessed the risk of violence from their clients. Ethical approval was gained and 22 participants took part in...
