Horizontal violence is a form of workplace violence, a phenomenon that is prevalent in the nursing profession. Research has revealed a variety of negative peer-to-peer behaviors that lower morale and lead to turnover. However, little research has been conducted on "eating our young" (violence occurring between individuals with unequal power, such as staff nurse and student). We propose "vertical violence" as the appropriate term when abusive registered nurse (RN) behavior is directed towards students. We report a content analysis of stories written by junior nursing students about incidents of injustice perpetrated by staff RNs during their clinical experiences. Four levels of injustice were described. Nursing leadership, both in hospitals and educational institutions, must become engaged in efforts to eradicate vertical violence towards students.
横向暴力是工作场所暴力的一种形式，也是一种在护理行业普遍存在的现象。研究表明，存在各种降低士气和导致人员流动的负面同伴行为。然而，对于“吃自己的小孩”（权力不平等的人之间发生的暴力行为，例如护士和学生）的研究却很少。当虐待性注册护士（RN）的行为指向学生时，我们提出“纵向暴力”作为合适的术语。我们报告了一项对初级护理学生撰写的关于临床经历中工作人员 RN 不公正行为的故事的内容分析。描述了四个不公平级别。护理领导，无论是在医院还是教育机构，都必须参与消除针对学生的纵向暴力行为。
