FORMS OF VIOLENT BEHAVIOR IN PATIENTS WITH MENTAL DISORDERS AT THE UNIVERSITY PSYCHIATRIC CLINIC LJUBLJANA FROM 2018 TO 2021 USING THE OAS/BVC SCALE ASSESSMENT-A DESCRIPTIVE STUDY.

— STAFF

Retain-and-tag only: this confirms an already well-documented pattern of inpatient aggression at one Slovenian clinic and reports a correlation between two instruments that measure adjacent constructs, which is neither a validation against outcomes nor a reliability finding. Nothing here changes a clinician's obligations, and no evaluator has to qualify, defend or abandon anything they have been asserting about the BVC or OAS on the strength of it.
