Despite a growing body of evidence on academic incivility, limited information exists on workplace incivility perceived by nursing students in nursing schools. This study, conducted amid the COVID-19 pandemic, explores nursing students' perceptions of workplace incivility in Jordanian nursing schools and investigates demographic-based differences.
This study employed a descriptive cross-sectional design, using an online survey for data collection. A convenience sample of 104 nursing students from diverse backgrounds and various Jordanian universities participated, allowing for a comprehensive examination of workplace incivility perceptions at a specific point in time. The online survey ensured efficient data collection, enhancing accessibility and ease of participation. This approach aimed to capture a snapshot of nursing students' perspectives on workplace incivility within a given time frame and across multiple educational institutions, efficiently gathering data from a geographically dispersed and demographically varied sample.
Students perceived workplace incivility in nursing schools as "mild," with moderate confidence in schools' ability to address it. Workplace civility was rated between 60.00% and 70.00% on a 0-100 scale. The overall mean for uncivil behaviors was "sometimes," with criticism of expertise as the most common. Incivility in the past year was seen as "rare," with misusing authority being the most frequent. Male and low-GPA students reported higher perceptions of incivility. Stress was the most perceived contributing factor, and a lack of administrative support was the main barrier. Establishing codes of conduct was considered the key strategy for fostering workplace civility.
Workplace civility is prevalent in Jordanian nursing schools, even amid the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the occasional occurrence of incivility behaviors should be approached with caution. To enhance perceptions of workplace civility, nursing schools should prioritize effective teaching, a friendly environment, and respectful relationships. Encouraging faculty members to reassess their performance, starting with identifying academic workplace incivility, is crucial.
尽管关于学术不文明行为的证据越来越多，但关于护理专业学生在护理学校所感受到的职场不文明行为的信息却很有限。这项在新冠疫情期间开展的研究，探讨了约旦护理学校学生对职场不文明行为的看法，并调查了基于人口统计学的差异。
本研究采用描述性横断面设计，通过在线调查收集数据。来自约旦不同大学、背景各异的104名护理专业学生组成的便利样本参与了调查，以便在特定时间点全面考察对职场不文明行为的看法。在线调查确保了数据收集的高效性，提高了可及性和参与的便利性。这种方法旨在捕捉护理专业学生在给定时间框架内以及跨多个教育机构对职场不文明行为的看法的快照，有效地从地理上分散且人口统计学上多样的样本中收集数据。
学生们认为护理学校的职场不文明行为为“轻度”，对学校解决此类行为的能力有中等程度的信心。职场文明程度在0至100分的量表上被评为60.00%至70.00%。不文明行为的总体平均值为“有时”，对专业知识的批评最为常见。过去一年中的不文明行为被视为“罕见”，滥用职权最为频繁。男生和平均绩点低的学生报告的不文明行为感受更高。压力是最常被感知到的促成因素，缺乏行政支持是主要障碍。制定行为准则被认为是促进职场文明的关键策略。
即使在新冠疫情期间，约旦护理学校的职场文明也很普遍。然而，对于偶尔出现的不文明行为应谨慎对待。为了增强对职场文明的认知，护理学校应优先考虑有效的教学、友好的环境和相互尊重的关系。鼓励教师重新评估他们的表现，首先识别学术职场中的不文明行为，这至关重要。
