Bullying at Work - What is your experience?

[compassionresearcher]

Dear Allnurses community and Fellow Nurses,

Update: Very close to ending data collection. Thank you for your participation!

I still need about 5 more responses. Please share on FB, Twitter, and whatever social media you use. It's open to any RN who has experienced bullying in the last 30 days, from any part of the world. I'd love to see this go viral so we can help make the workplace healthier for all nurses and their patients.

Thanks again!

I am conducting a research study as part of my doctoral program dissertation, and I need your help. Please share.

This study will be looking at the relationship between workplace mistreatment and nurses' ability to care for patients.

If you have experienced incivility, horizontal violence, or workplace bullying from any hospital employees (nurses, physicians, administration etc.) you may be qualified to participate.

This study is for registered nurses who:

• work in direct patient care.
  
• are employed in a hospital environment.
  
• are able to read and write English.
  
• have experienced workplace mistreatment in the last 30 days.
  

***Advanced practice nurses are excluded from this current study. ***

You can access the survey questionnaires by clicking this link:

Exploring the Relationship between Workplace Mistreatment and Nurses' Ability to Provide Quality Patient Care Survey

It will take about 25-35 minutes to complete the survey.

You will not be asked to include any identifying information.

Please forward to anybody you think may qualify for this study.

Thank you.

Oh, why didn't you start it in 2013? I would give you a golden nugget of info then...

[WKShadowNP, DNP, APRN]

Did the IRB approve this method of data collection? How can you validate respondents?

[compassionresearcher]

Great question! Yes, I have permission from the IRB and allnurses.com to use this method. There is no way to confirm who is responding to this anonymous survey. However, as with any survey, trusting the respondents are telling the truth is something that comes with the territory.

[WKShadowNP, DNP, APRN]

Ok. Thanks. Submitted.

[compassionresearcher]

Aw shucks, too bad. Timing is everything..I'm glad it's behind you now. :-)

You posted this right on time! I have one and it just happened last night. I already submitted it.

I like the fact that this is not just about NETY because in truth, we can be mistreated by anyone in the wokplace be it the doctor or unit clerk or tele tech.

Thank you for participating! Please share this post/link with anybody that you think would be interested. I'm trying to look at the topic from a new angle in hopes of developing different solutions than have already been offered.

I agree about the timing. It's been very recent for me also. Finished the survey
