In this age group, BC is the most frequent cancer-related cause of death. These women are also ineligible for regular mammogram screening programs and often present with more aggressive cancer subtypes with worse clinicopathologic features, and these women are rarely diagnosed preclinically.

Suicidal ideation was assessed using two items from the National Comorbidity Survey, and the workplace incivility was assessed by the Nursing Incivility Scale.

Nurse-initiated workplace incivility demonstrated the strongest association with elevated suicidal ideation risk, surpassing workplace incivility from other sources including physicians and patients. A dose–response relationship was also observed between cumulative workplace incivility experience among nurses and increased risk of suicidal ideation. Nurses in the “high incivility” pattern and “patient and physician incivility” pattern exhibited a higher risk of suicidal ideation compared to nurses in the “low incivility” pattern.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Nurses experiencing workplace incivility demonstrate a heightened risk of suicidal ideation.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Clinical Relevance</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Workplace incivility experienced by nurses was associated with an increased risk of suicidal ideation.
