  • Description:
    Bullying in Nursing: Background: Verbal abuse, non-verbal abuse, and interference or sabotaging workflow are often recognized as bullying behaviors in nursing that can be injurious to the victim as well as the patients. Bullying is pervasive in the profession and student nurses are victims without skills to mitigate the negative behaviors. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of education-based intervention to mitigate the effects of bullying on delivery of safe patient care by senior-level student nurses. Objectives: Test educational intervention with student nurses encountering bullying behaviors in the clinical setting; Direct observation and quantification of how bullying can impact patient safety; Analyze the effectiveness of intervention for student nurses. Methods: Study design: Exploratory randomized controlled trial using 3 groups Sample population: Senior-level student nurses from the University of Cincinnati Sampling strategy: Convenience Outcome measures: Bullying Knowledge Survey & Medication Administration observation checklist Method: In a simulated health setting... Control group will be asked to perform medication administration with a non-bullying distractions occurring; Non-intervention group will be asked to perform medication administration with bullying distraction occurring; Intervention group will receive a bullying education intervention first and then be asked to perform medication administration with bullying distraction occurring; All distractions will be conducted by professional actors (Standardized Participants). Expected Results: Hypothesis 1. Participants in the intervention group will have increased scores on the bullying knowledge survey after receiving the educational intervention. Hypothesis 2. Participants in the intervention group will demonstrate a higher medication administration score than participants in the non-intervention group. Hypothesis 3. There will be no difference in medication administration scores between the intervention and control group. Future Direction: Future Research Goals: If the intervention shows preliminary efficacy, future steps will include seeking federal funding from CDC/NIOSH to conduct a large-scale randomized control trial study with several baccalaureate nursing programs to determine the overall effect of the intervention. Long-Term Goal: The long-term goal is to reduce bullying and bullying behaviors in the nursing profession through integration of effective educational interventions addressing bullying into nursing program curricula nationwide.
