      El Ghaziri, Mazen; Simons, Shellie; Taylor, Rosemary A. (2020-11-06)
      BACKGROUND: Clinical education is an integral component of nursing education and relies heavily on clinical nursing faculty (CNF). However, there are not enough nurses seeking CNF positions to meet the current demand of the nursing workforce. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence and impact of workplace bullying directed toward CNF. METHODS: For this exploratory cross-sectional study, a web-based survey was distributed to CNF working in New England states. RESULTS: A total of 76 participant responses were analyzed. Eighteen percent of the participants met the criteria for being either occasionally or frequently bullied. Nursing staff in the clinical agencies and colleagues and administrators in the nursing program where CNF teach were identified as the most frequent perpetrators. CONCLUSIONS: Understanding the prevalence and impact of bullying of CNF helps inform the development of strategies to support and retain these essential members of the nursing education workforce.

      Peters, Anya; El-Ghaziri, Mazen; Quinn, Brenna; Simons, Shellie; Taylor, Rosemary (2020-01-08)
      The frequency and consequences of bullying directed at school nurses (SNs) are poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to describe the prevalence and impact of bullying directed at school nurses, determine predictors of bullying directed at school nurses, and evaluate the individual and organizational impact of exposure to bullying directed at school nurses. School nurses (n = 334) completed an online survey comprised of the Negative Act Questionnaire-Revised, Perceived Stress Scale, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health General Social Survey 2010 Quality of Worklife Module, Michigan Organizational Assessment Questionnaire, and open response items to determine their experiences with, and impact of, bullying. Descriptive and inferential statistics were calculated for quantitative data, while content analysis was used to analyze responses to open-ended survey items. One third of participants reported occasional or frequent bullying. Content analysis revealed three themes, including unexpected parent behavior, staff incivility, and formal reporting. Findings support the development of an educational intervention to assist school nurses in the prevention and management of bullying exposure.
