The sole purpose of the healthcare environment is to provide therapeutic intervention to the ill. Nurses should not anticipate going to work within healthcare facilities to be harassed, disrespected, and threatened. Be it a nurse working within a clinical environment or employed as a nurse educator in an academic setting, incivility and bullying can cause harm. Chapter 1 will provide an overview of the terms incivility and bullying. Uncivil conduct will be examined through a case study involving a perpetrator to provide insight into how a bully thinks and reacts with regard to their own behavior.","PeriodicalId":306529,"journal":{"name":"Incivility Among Nursing Professionals in Clinical and Academic Environments","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129381802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nurses internationally are affected by workplace incivility and bullying. Chapter 2 explores the phenomenon of bullying and incivility in nursing in countries such as Israel, Turkey, and Australia. Uncivil conduct experienced by nursing students, faculty, administrators, clinical nurses, and clinical faculty are discussed through the examination of current issues in various workplace settings that nurses work within. Imbalances of workplace tranquility and disruption influence work-life balance, as nurses attempt to find ways to cope with bullying and incivility. The latter potentially leading to organizational issues with retention and turnover of nursing staff.","PeriodicalId":306529,"journal":{"name":"Incivility Among Nursing Professionals in Clinical and Academic Environments","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130899368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Staffing shortages and long hours worked with high acuity patient caseloads can cause nursing professionals to feel overwhelmed, stressed, and anxious. Cultures of incivility can be accepted within some workplace environments as being normal. Nurse leaders that knowingly ignore patterns of disruptive behaviors by the nursing staff contribute to unit-based (and departmental) dysfunction. Perpetrators feel comfortable in continuing bullying behaviors because they have no fear of retribution. In these environments, nurse leaders themselves may engage in bullying and incivility behaviors. Chapter 4 provides nurses with instructions on how to report uncivil conduct that is not resolving and seek action against the perpetrator when mediation is not an option.","PeriodicalId":306529,"journal":{"name":"Incivility Among Nursing Professionals in Clinical and Academic Environments","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122348276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When nurses experience exclusionary behaviors such as bullying and incivility, there may also be hidden issues with acceptance of diversity in the workplace environment. Educating nursing staff on the importance of variations in age, culture, gender, sex, race, ethnicity, and religion in the workplace can help facilitate communication among staff. For example, organizations can use educational forums to discuss how different cultures vary in the addressing of conflict within the workplace; some cultures may prefer to reach consensus rather than be confrontational. Chapter 5 discusses strategies that nurses and organizations can implement, such as Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety (TeamSTEPPS). TeamSTEPPS is a curriculum that can be used to improve teamwork skills, communication, and build team collaboration.","PeriodicalId":306529,"journal":{"name":"Incivility Among Nursing Professionals in Clinical and Academic Environments","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130473855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
