Workplace bullying is a critical and prevalent issue that causes serious problems in healthcare settings. However, there is little research on the factors affecting nursing students' perception of workplace bullying despite their forthcoming transition into the nursing profession. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the factors related to nursing students' perception of workplace bullying in Korea. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 242 nursing students who had experienced clinical practice. The survey questionnaire included general characteristics, perceived susceptibility and severity of bullying, and perception of workplace bullying. Data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. In this study, the significant factors affecting nursing students' perception of workplace bullying included bullying experience in clinical practice and the perceived severity of bullying. Therefore, it is crucial for nursing managers and instructors to have a clear understanding of the bullying situations experienced by nursing students during clinical practice. We should promote the perception of workplace bullying through indirect experiences such as systematic education about workplace bullying for nursing students, which may prevent workplace bullying in clinical practice and work environments. Furthermore, a comprehensive and multifaceted approach is necessary to effectively prevent workplace bullying in clinical practice and work environments. This study reveals that systemic and persistent education and intervention to bullying may improve nursing students' perception of workplace bullying and prevent workplace bullying in clinical practice and work environments. Furthermore, this study provides basic data on the prevention and management of bullying in nursing students' clinical practice.
职场霸凌是一个严重且普遍存在的问题，在医疗环境中会引发严重问题。然而，尽管护理专业学生即将进入护理行业，但关于影响他们对职场霸凌认知的因素的研究却很少。因此，本研究旨在确定韩国护理专业学生对职场霸凌认知的相关因素。对242名有临床实习经历的护理专业学生进行了横断面研究。调查问卷包括一般特征、感知到的霸凌易感性和严重性以及对职场霸凌的认知。数据采用多元回归分析进行分析。在本研究中，影响护理专业学生对职场霸凌认知的重要因素包括临床实习中的霸凌经历和感知到的霸凌严重性。因此，护理管理人员和教师清楚了解护理专业学生在临床实习中所经历的霸凌情况至关重要。我们应该通过间接经验来提高对职场霸凌的认知，比如为护理专业学生提供关于职场霸凌的系统教育，这可能会预防临床实习和工作环境中的职场霸凌。此外，需要采取全面且多方面的方法来有效预防临床实习和工作环境中的职场霸凌。本研究表明，对霸凌进行系统且持续的教育和干预可能会提高护理专业学生对职场霸凌的认知，并预防临床实习和工作环境中的职场霸凌。此外，本研究为护理专业学生临床实习中霸凌的预防和管理提供了基础数据。
