That is the standard layout of the description list.
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{description}
\item[Validation Analysis (VA)] Zzzzz zzz zzz zzzz zzzz
zz zzzzz zzzz zzzzzzzz zzzzz zzzz zzzzzzzz zzzzz zzzz zzzzzz
zz zzzzz zzzz zzzzzzzz zzzzz zzzz zzzzzzzz zzzzz zzzz zzzzzz

The hanging package and the hangparas environment is what you are looking for.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{hanging}
\begin{document}
\begin{hangparas}{1em}{1}
\lipsum
\end{hangparas}
\end{document}
but you could also set the following in your preamble to influence the whole document:
\leftskip=1em
\parindent=-1em
In both cases you get an output looking like this:
