Abstract

Background: Workplace bullying affects many people by its negative consequences on employers' mental health, employment satisfaction, and performance outcomes. Female Health care workers in particular are quite vulnerable to bullying. Objectives: The aim of this study is to find the frequency of workplace bullying (WPB) and the correlation between workplace bullying and self-awareness among female healthcare professionals in Punjab. Method: A cross sectional research design and convenient sampling was used in this study to choose female healthcare workers working in Punjab and history of mental disorder and criminal record were excluded. Data was collected using open access validated E questionnaires that contained measures of workplace bullying by negative act questionnaire-revised and self-awareness and emotional management by National Health Services questionnaire. Demographic information was also collected. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to identify the links between workplace bullying, self-awareness, and emotional management. Results: Among the 447 participants, varying frequencies of work place bullying were reported female healthcare professionals in Punjab. The majority of respondents experienced workplace bullying "now and then," and a significant proportion reported weekly occurrences. The study revealed a moderate negative correlation between workplace bullying and self-awareness (r=-0.409), indicating that as bullying frequency increased, self-awareness decreased. Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrate the significant impact of workplace bullying on self-awareness among female healthcare professionals in Punjab. The results underscore the need for interventions to address workplace bullying and create more respectful work environments for healthcare professionals. The study contributes to the existing literature on workplace bullying and emphasizes the importance of considering the psychological well-being of healthcare professionals.

内心的斗争：评估工作场所欺凌与旁遮普省女性医疗保健专业人员的自我意识和情绪管理之间的相关性。

背景：工作场所的欺凌行为会对雇主的心理健康、就业满意度和绩效结果造成负面影响，从而影响到许多人。女性医护人员尤其容易受到欺凌。研究目的本研究旨在了解旁遮普省女性医疗保健专业人员遭受工作场所欺凌（WPB）的频率以及工作场所欺凌与自我意识之间的相关性。研究方法本研究采用横断面研究设计和方便抽样法，选择在旁遮普省工作的女性医护人员，并排除精神障碍史和犯罪记录。数据收集采用开放式有效 E 问卷，其中包括通过负面行为问卷（修订版）对工作场所欺凌行为的测量，以及通过国家卫生服务问卷对自我意识和情绪管理的测量。此外，还收集了人口统计学信息。采用皮尔逊相关系数来确定职场欺凌、自我意识和情绪管理之间的联系。结果显示在 447 名参与者中，旁遮普省的女性医疗保健专业人员报告了不同频率的工作场所欺凌事件。大多数受访者 "时不时 "会遭遇职场欺凌，相当一部分受访者表示每周都会遭遇职场欺凌。研究显示，工作场所欺凌与自我意识之间存在中等程度的负相关（r=-0.409），表明随着欺凌频率的增加，自我意识也在下降。结论本研究结果表明，工作场所欺凌对旁遮普省女性医疗保健专业人员的自我意识有重大影响。研究结果强调，有必要采取干预措施来解决工作场所欺凌问题，并为医护专业人员创造更加尊重他人的工作环境。本研究为现有关于工作场所欺凌的文献做出了贡献，并强调了考虑医护专业人员心理健康的重要性。
