Negative Workplace Behavior And Coping Strategies Among Nurses: A Cross-Sectional Study
NURSING & HEALTH SCIENCES(2021)
摘要
Negative workplace behavior affecting nurses is an internationally recognized problem. This study examines the types and extent of negative workplace behavior experienced by nurses in non-metropolitan, regional acute care settings and their ways of coping when subject to that behavior. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 74 nurse participants in four regional hospitals in Australia. The structured questionnaire consisted of four parts: demographic questions, the Negative Acts Questionnaire - Revised, questions on exposure to bullying and/or incivility and policy awareness and use of pathways, and the Ways of Coping Questionnaire. Overall, 34% of participants were exposed to bullying and 49% to incivility over the previous month. The most common type of negative workplace behavior reported was "work-related bullying," which included exposure to excessive workloads, unrealistic deadlines, and information being withheld. Nurses reported the use of a variety of coping mechanisms, including problem-focused coping strategies and seeking social support. The findings imply that negative workplace behaviors occur not only at individual nurses & apos; level but also derive from the broader contexts of organizational management and systemic factors.
