Significant associations were recorded between work experience and pharmacological management of the psychiatric patients (t=-3.035; p=.003); psychiatric drugs in emergency (t=2.758; p=.006); medico-legal aspects in psychiatric emergencies (t=2.554; p=.011); the management of negative experiences of the multidisciplinary team towards the patient (t=-2.684; p=.008); patients who simulated (t=-2.138; p=.033).
