Abstract
Aim
The purpose of the study was to ascertain how a blended learning intervention affected nursing students' strategies for preventing bullying at work.
Method
An educational intervention for workplace bullying was conducted with 400 undergraduate nursing students. The intervention process included two phases: an online course and an in-lab bullying simulation. The targeted online course on bullying was given to the nursing students two weeks before the planned simulation. An awareness and knowledge survey on workplace bullying was conducted before and after. After that, the students finished a clinical simulation in which they saw acts akin to bullying. Students completed a reflection survey after the simulation. To assess the bullying simulation's effectiveness as an active learning technique, the data were qualitatively coded into themes.
Results
220 nursing students agreed that their learning data could be used for research analysis. The mean awareness scores differed significantly between precourse and postcourse (t=21.66, p<0.001). Similarly, mean knowledge scores increased between precourse and postcourse (t=14.26, p<0.001). The quantitative results were supported by qualitative information from the reflection survey. The themes identified in the study were personal response, enhanced learning, bullying behaviors in simulation, and impact. Students responded well to the course design and said they were more prepared to deal with workplace bullying.
Conclusion
Blended learning scenarios provided the students with useful methods to deal with workplace bullying.
