Abstract

Introduction: Despite a growing body of evidence on academic incivility, limited information exists on workplace incivility perceived by nursing students in nursing schools. This study, conducted amid the COVID-19 pandemic, explores nursing students' perceptions of workplace incivility in Jordanian nursing schools and investigates demographic-based differences.

Methods: This study employed a descriptive cross-sectional design, using an online survey for data collection. A convenience sample of 104 nursing students from diverse backgrounds and various Jordanian universities participated, allowing for a comprehensive examination of workplace incivility perceptions at a specific point in time. The online survey ensured efficient data collection, enhancing accessibility and ease of participation. This approach aimed to capture a snapshot of nursing students' perspectives on workplace incivility within a given time frame and across multiple educational institutions, efficiently gathering data from a geographically dispersed and demographically varied sample.

Results: Students perceived workplace incivility in nursing schools as "mild," with moderate confidence in schools' ability to address it. Workplace civility was rated between 60.00% and 70.00% on a 0-100 scale. The overall mean for uncivil behaviors was "sometimes," with criticism of expertise as the most common. Incivility in the past year was seen as "rare," with misusing authority being the most frequent. Male and low-GPA students reported higher perceptions of incivility. Stress was the most perceived contributing factor, and a lack of administrative support was the main barrier. Establishing codes of conduct was considered the key strategy for fostering workplace civility.

Conclusion: Workplace civility is prevalent in Jordanian nursing schools, even amid the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the occasional occurrence of incivility behaviors should be approached with caution. To enhance perceptions of workplace civility, nursing schools should prioritize effective teaching, a friendly environment, and respectful relationships. Encouraging faculty members to reassess their performance, starting with identifying academic workplace incivility, is crucial.

关于护理专业学生对 COVID-19 大流行期间护理学校工作场所不礼貌行为看法的在线横断面研究。
导言:尽管有关学术不文明行为的证据越来越多,但有关护理学校的护理专业学生所认为的工作场所不文明行为的信息却很有限。本研究是在 COVID-19 大流行期间进行的,旨在探讨约旦护理学校的护理专业学生对工作场所不文明行为的看法,并调查基于人口统计学的差异:本研究采用描述性横断面设计,通过在线调查收集数据。共有 104 名来自约旦不同大学、背景各异的护理专业学生参加了调查,以便在特定时间点对工作场所不文明现象进行全面调查。在线调查确保了数据收集的高效性,提高了参与的可及性和便捷性。这种方法旨在捕捉护理专业学生在特定时间段和多个教育机构中对工作场所不文明行为的看法,从地理位置分散、人口结构各异的样本中有效地收集数据:结果:学生们认为护士学校的工作场所不文明现象 "轻微",对学校解决这一问题的能力信心一般。在 0-100 分的评分中,工作场所的文明程度在 60.00% 到 70.00% 之间。不文明行为的总体平均值为 "有时",最常见的是对专业知识的批评。过去一年中的不文明行为被认为是 "罕见的",滥用权力是最常见的。男生和平均学分绩点低的学生对不文明行为的认知度更高。压力是最常见的诱因,缺乏行政支持是主要障碍。制定行为准则被认为是促进工作场所文明的关键策略:结论:即使在 COVID-19 大流行的情况下,约旦护士学校中也普遍存在工作场所文明。然而,偶尔出现的不文明行为也应谨慎对待。为提高工作场所的文明程度,护理学校应优先考虑有效的教学、友好的环境和相互尊重的关系。鼓励教职员工重新评估自己的表现,从识别学术工作场所的不文明行为开始,这一点至关重要。
