Background
Nurse bullying involves the situations whereby a nurse is taken advantage of in the workplace and forced to work beyond their scope. Nurse bullying is a major challenge faced by nursing professionals at the facility. Nurse bullying includes negative behaviors like "aggression, horizontal aggression, horizontal violence, lateral violence, lateral hostility, and incivility," (Szutenbach, 2013). Therefore, when there is bullying, nurses are denied a sense of civility and psychological safety within their work area (Clark, 2014). With the increased concern for nursing safety, there is a need to work on evidence-based practices to come up with practical solutions. Therefore, addressing the nurse bullying affects patient safety and outcomes, nurse productivity, and quality of care. It is, therefore, the obligation of the hospital management to implement different solutions that will eradicate the issue of nurse bullying to ensure that the workplace is conducive enough to offer patients the necessary care.
Problem statement
Low level of satisfaction and motivation among nurses suggests that the level of safety is low in this facility. This is a significant issue affecting many health institutions, and by recognizing it, the administration or leadership can make efforts to improve the situation (Escartín, 2016). Nurse safety is affected by various factors such as lack of sufficient training, policies, and awareness (Szutenbach, 2013). Nurses can work better when they have protection and experience high levels of psychological safety and cavity. Therefore, initiating an educational training project to the working environments can improve satisfaction and employee work relationships.
Purpose of the change proposal
This proposal will be used by hospitals and other organizations to help in the creation of a conducive work environment through the eradication of workplace bullying. High quality and excellence are the core value for the high standard of practice in nursing. Similarly, showing respect for a patient, their family, and your peers within the clinical environment and working to achieve excellence is important (Walrafen, Brewer, & Mulvenon, 2012). In most of the cases, the values of a facility are demonstrated in its core values. Therefore, it is essential that nurses uphold ethical principles like beneficence, autonomy, veracity, non-maleficence, justice as well as fidelity. Observing these ethical principles will be a great step in the eradication of nurse bullying in hospitals. A code of ethics is a part of the hospital policies that ought to be followed by every employee.
