Abstract

Introduction: More than 39.7% of nurses report being victims of psychological harassment in the workplace. In 60% of cases, the abuse is vertical, involving a person in a position of authority.

Context: Few studies have examined this phenomenon without conflating it with other forms of workplace violence.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to shed light on cases of vertical violence experienced by nurses working in hospitals.

Method: Data was collected by means of semi-structured interviews with six nurses working in hospitals in the province of Quebec (Canada). Descriptive phenomenology was used to analyze the collected data.

Results: The overall effects of the vertical violence experienced by nurses in hospital settings resulted in less diligent and individualized nursing care.

Discussion: It is recommended that organizational policies against vertical violence put in place in hospital be enforced in a rigorous and transparent manner. Further investigation is needed to identify the organizational factors that contribute to vertical violence in hospital settings.

垂直暴力对医院护士工作的影响:一项探索性研究

导读:超过39.7%的护士报告是工作场所心理骚扰的受害者。在60%的案件中，虐待是纵向的，涉及一个处于权威地位的人。背景:很少有研究将这一现象与其他形式的工作场所暴力混为一谈。目的:本研究的目的是阐明在医院工作的护士所经历的垂直暴力案件。方法:采用半结构化访谈法对6名在加拿大魁北克省医院工作的护士进行访谈。采用描述现象学对收集到的资料进行分析。结果:护士在医院环境中经历的纵向暴力的总体影响导致不那么勤奋和个性化的护理。讨论:建议以严格和透明的方式执行在医院实施的反对垂直暴力的组织政策。需要进一步调查，以确定导致医院环境中垂直暴力的组织因素。
