Many institutions have conducted research on the subject of bullying. The literature includes many studies of the effects of widespread bullying among primary and secondary school students. Bullying against hospital nurses and also bullying against university students are well-known and frequently discussed research topics. Yet, the exposure of nursing students to bullying has not been sufficiently explored, and few studies have focused on the issue of bullying against nursing students.
The aim of this study is to examine bullying against nursing students, including the rate of bullying, types of bullying, and responses to the negative effects of bullying.
This study was conducted on 202 nursing students (including sophomores, juniors, and seniors) during the 2013-2014 academic year. The participation rate was 88.5%. The Negative Attitudes Scale was used to collect data, and descriptive statistics were used in data analysis.
Participants were evenly distributed between women (49.5%) and men (50.5%). The median age of participants was 21.58 ± 2.28 years; the frequency of bullying was 78.1%. The types of bullying were pejorative statements about the nursing profession (11.3%); low grades used as a form of punishment (9.9%); work, homework, and job rotation used as punishment in lieu of training (9.4%); impossible workloads (9.0%); and the spreading of rumors and gossip (7%).
CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: This study indicates that the participants were exposed to high levels of bullying. As exposure to bullying negatively affects the job attitudes of nursing students, further studies are necessary to develop strategies to prevent horizontal bullying.
许多机构都对欺凌这一主题进行了研究。文献中包含许多关于中小学学生中普遍存在的欺凌行为影响的研究。针对医院护士的欺凌以及针对大学生的欺凌都是广为人知且经常被讨论的研究课题。然而,护理专业学生遭受欺凌的情况尚未得到充分探讨,很少有研究关注针对护理专业学生的欺凌问题。
本研究旨在调查针对护理专业学生的欺凌行为,包括欺凌发生率、欺凌类型以及对欺凌负面影响的应对情况。
本研究于2013 - 2014学年对202名护理专业学生(包括大二、大三和大四学生)进行。参与率为88.5%。使用消极态度量表收集数据,并采用描述性统计进行数据分析。
参与者中女性(49.5%)和男性(50.5%)分布均匀。参与者的中位年龄为21.58 ± 2.28岁;欺凌发生率为78.1%。欺凌类型包括对护理专业的贬损言论(11.3%);用低分数作为惩罚形式(9.9%);用工作、作业和轮岗代替培训作为惩罚(9.4%);不合理的工作量(9.0%);以及传播谣言和闲话(7%)。
结论/对实践的启示:本研究表明参与者遭受了高水平的欺凌。由于遭受欺凌会对护理专业学生的工作态度产生负面影响,因此有必要进一步开展研究以制定预防横向欺凌的策略。
