Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Workplace nurse-on-nurse bullying is a well-known phenomenon in health care organizations at both national and global levels. Healthcare organizations struggle to find effective solutions to help nurses to mitigate bullying and incivility and create safer work environments.

Perceptions Of Nurses’ Abilities To Provide Safe Care In Unhealthy Work Environments, Jacqueline Flannery
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
As many as 90% of nurses report working in an environment where their peers engage in passively and overtly violent activities against other nurses. Working in such an environment is unhealthy and has consequences for the career trajectory of nursing. There is a lack of literature available that specifically addresses nurses’ perceptions of their abilities to provide safe patient care in unhealthy work environments. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the lived experiences of nurses who have experienced lateral violence and their perceptions of their ability to provide safe care. Husserl’s philosophy of phenomenology was used as …
