Introduction
Nurse bullying is a major challenge faced by nursing professionals in 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.
The Nurse Bullying Problems
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.
The Setting/Context
The nurse bullying problems can be observed in the facility with the help of the All Employee Survey (AES). The AES scores can be measured against the national average rate to determine the level of civility as well as psychological safety in the hospital (Stoycheva, 2017). Quality indicators can be used to assess how nurse bullying affects the team functioning, patient safety, clinical outcomes and the quality of care. The survey results will be calculated by an average score that is assigned to each specific survey question. The survey questions will be on a scale of 1-5, from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree” as their reflection on the extreme ends.
Problem Description
Nurse bullying is one of the critical problems that have been discussed a lot, but there is a need for further research that focuses on ways of improving psychological security and quality of care by reducing or even eliminating hostilities directed towards nurses (Budin, Brewer, Chao, &...
