Workplace violence in hospitals and other health care settings is a troublesome issue and has severe consequences for the entire health care system. In recent years, workplace violence has made a great threat to nurse assistants. Therefore, violence prevention education is a part of medical personnel's job responsibility. However, a theory-based violence prevention education program for healthcare settings was limited. The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of experiential learning theory-based medical jujitsu training on perception on violence, attitude on violence, self-efficacy, and turnover intention among nurse assistants
