These behaviors can fracture relationships and result in life-threatening mistakes, preventable complications, harm, or even the death of a patient. In Core Competencies of Civility in Nursing & Healthcare, Cynthia Clark—a nurse-leader dedicated to organizational change and an unwavering advocate for civility and dignity for all—provides an abundance of practical solutions to create and sustain communities of civility, diversity, inclusion, and respect in academic and healthcare environments. Using a wealth of evidence-based interventions, hands-on tools, and scholarly resources, this book expands current thinking on the topic of civility to create and support healthy, productive work and learning environments for the benefit of all.

Book Description

Background: Sense of belonging is essential for nursing students to develop and grow within the nursing profession. Unfortunately, incivility threatens the sense of belonging in nursing students. Purpose: The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to determine the relationship between staff nurse incivility and undergraduate nursing students’ sense of belonging in nursing school, describe the presence of incivility in minority undergraduate nursing students, and determine how semester in the nursing program and weight are associated with incivility and sense of belonging. Baumeister and Leary’s (1995) need to belong theory was chosen as the framework for this study. Methods: A convenience sample of 123 junior and senior nursing students from two nursing schools in New Mexico were recruited to participate in this study. The concepts were measured using the Uncivil Behavior in Clinical Nursing Education (UBCNE) and Sense of Belonging in Nursing School (SBNS) surveys. Correlation coefficient, descriptive statistics, Fisher r-to-z transformation, 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Results: One-hundred and twenty-three pre-licensure undergraduate nursing students completed the study, resulting in 44.7% response rate. The results showed a statistically significant, inverse correlation between the UBCNE and SBNS. However, there was no association between staff nurse incivility and undergraduate nursing student sense of belonging among the cohort. Of the minority undergraduate nursing students, American Indian or Alaskan Native students reported the highest mean frequency of incivility. There was no significant difference noted between correlations based on level in the program or body mass index. Discussion: This was the first study to assess the relationship between staff nurse incivility and undergraduate nursing students’ sense of belonging in nursing school. As the experience of incivility increased in the clinical environment, the overall sense of belonging in nursing school decreased. Yet, staff nurse incivility was not associated with sense of belonging in the cohort, highlighting the impact of acceptance in the students’ social group. Conclusion: This study reported the relationship between incivility and sense of belonging in the nursing profession. The findings of this study may be useful for nursing educators, nursing students, staff nurses, and healthcare organizations who facilitate clinical experiences for nursing students.

Book Description

Harm from disrespect and incivility in healthcare has been identified as the next major challenge in addressing patient safety efforts since these behaviors can result in life-threatening mistakes, preventable complications, harm, or death of a patient. Incivility and other related workplace aggressions are also associated with a worse patient experience, lower quality of care, higher risk of physical harm, and higher levels of staff disengagement, absenteeism, and turnover. The consequences of incivility also have a significant impact on the work life of healthcare professionals as well as the patients and families they serve. Incivility in the patient care environment can provoke uncertainty and self-doubt, weaken self-confidence, compromise moral courage, and cause detrimental and lasting effects on individuals, teams, organizations.Creating and sustaining communities of civility is an imperative for all work environments. Fostering a firm commitment to respect and civility is a critical step toward achieving optimal patient care and high reliability in health care. Creating healthy work environments where nurses are empowered to speak up, have the confidence to be heard, and where actions will be taken to resolve unsafe conditions is essential. Civility education is an effective strategy to prevent and address these serious concerns.The book integrates evidence-based strategies and best practices to foster civility and healthy academic and practice environments. The author use scholarly resources, personal stories, illustrations, conceptual models, exemplars, and practical tools to promote civility, professionalism, and ethical practice for students, faculty, nurse leaders, health care professionals, and society-at-large. The book's 20 informative, timely, and up-to-the minute chapters will appeal to multiple audiences focusing on practical, evidence-based interventions that can be implemented immediately, midterm, and long-term. Rather than dwelling on the negative aspects of incivility and other workplace aggressions, this book will focus the reader on individual and organizational core competencies to foster civil, productive work and learning environments. It will be a go-to resource for raising awareness about the problem of incivility, uncovering the serious and insidious nature of the problem - and, more importantly - providing evidence-based strategies to eliminate it from practice-based and academic workplaces.

Book Description

Background: Incivility among nurses continues to be a widespread problem despite national agencies mandating nurses foster safe and healthy work environments. Incivility affects patient outcomes in a negative manner; incivility decreases effective communication and increases physical and emotional distress among nursing staff who experience such behavior in the workplace. Incivility and bullying have been linked to sentinel events, medication errors, decreased quality of care, and poor patient outcomes. Incivility in the workplace can lead to decreased job satisfaction, more illnesses and absences among staff members, and lower nurse retention rates, all of which have a massive financial impact on the healthcare system. Governing bodies have mandated that incivility must be addressed as the negative impact to patients, nurses, providers, and health care systems is too great to ignore. Health care systems must implement interventions to address incivility. Framework: This quality improvement project incorporated Sister Callista Roy's Adaptation Model with the Stevens Star Model of Knowledge Transformation for evidence-based practice change. Methods: An educational intervention was offered via a 14-minute PowerPoint presentation, created by the project manager, with the goals to increase the nursing staff's ability to recognize workplace incivility, reduce workplace incivility on a nursing unit, and to increase confidence confidence in the staff members' ability to respond to workplace incivility when it occurs. Staff were surveyed before and after the education, using the Workplace Incivility Civility Scale. Group mean scores were compared pre- and post-education using independent t-tests. Findings: The educational intervention helped staff recognize uncivil behaviors. The amount of uncivil behavior did not change significantly, as perceived by participants, although there was not a great deal of uncivil behavior observed initially. Staff members' confidence in dealing with incivility did not increase significantly. Conclusion and Recommendations: There are no simple strategies to decrease incivility. Combating incivility requires a multi-faceted approach, including education of staff, implementing a practice change, and teaching staff cognitive rehearsal strategies while offering opportunities to practice the strategies learned. Educating staff to recognize uncivil behavior can decrease wuch behaviors, simply through increased awareness. Nurses can be receptive to such education and will benefit from education aimed at improving their ability to curtail uncivil behavior in the workplace. Recommend future education to offer more interventions and practice opportunities for the staff to improve their skills in handling incivility.
