“…This finding is supported by Natarajan et al 15 and Higazee and Rayan 34 and it can be interpreted to mean that student dissatisfaction manifests as carelessness and poor performance. This can lead to poor teacher-student relationship and student perceptions of the superiority of teaching staff with regard to student evaluation.…”

Purpose This study aimed to determine the prevalence of bullying and identify the perpetrators of bullying among nursing students. Further, the impact of bullying on their mental health and academic achievement was also examined. Design and Methods A cross‐sectional correlational design was adopted. A total of 180 undergraduate nursing students completed an electronic questionnaire. Results Approximately half of the participants had experienced at least one or more bullying behaviors on a daily or weekly basis during nursing education. Classmates were the most frequently reported perpetrators of bullying behaviors. Bullying experience was associated with poor psychological health and perceived stress. A lower grade point average emerged as a significant predictor of exposure to bullying behaviors. Practice Implications There is a need to create policies that delineate the legal implications of bullying to protect students. Faculty members and clinical service providers should work together to reduce the prevalence and impact of negative acts against students.

An adjusted self-administered questionnaire which comprised of three parts: Socio-demographic of the nurses, Workplace violence and opinionative sheet. The findings clear that 39.3% of the nurses were aged from 20-30 years, with a mean age 35.61±10.67years. The majority of them (89.6%) were females. More than half of them (53.3%) were reported very worried, while only onequarter (25.9%) of them reported that they didn't worried at all. All the studied nurses (100%) exposed to workplace violence, and 63.0% of them exposed to physical workplace violence. two-thirds of them (68.1%) were very dissatisfied with the manner in which the incident was handled.

“…Among these, some reviews have focused on descriptive studies to identify the magnitude and characteristics of workplace violence, as well as its consequences on individuals and healthcare organizations [ 1 , 5 , 12 ]. Individual studies have assessed strategies to manage aggressive patients, as well as consequences of workplace violence, such as nurse absenteeism and job dissatisfaction [ 8 , 13 ]. The aim of this systematic review is to fill an existing gap by identifying studies, which propose effective interventions to help mitigate or prevent workplace violence against nurses.…”

Workplace violence (WPV) is an increasing cause of concern around the globe, and healthcare organizations are no exception. Nurses may be subject to all kinds of workplace violence due to their frontline position in healthcare settings. The purpose of this systematic review is to identify and consider different interventions that aim to decrease the magnitude/prevalence of workplace violence against nurses. The standard method by Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA, 2009) has been used to collect data and assess methodological quality. Altogether, twenty-six studies are included in the review. The intervention procedures they report on can be grouped into three categories: stand-alone trainings designed to educate nurses; more structured education programs, which are broader in scope and often include opportunities to practice skills learned during the program; multicomponent interventions, which often include organizational changes, such as the introduction of workplace violence reporting systems, in addition to workplace violence training for nurses. By comparing the findings, a clear picture emerges; while standalone training and structured education programs can have a positive impact, the impact is unfortunately limited. In order to effectively combat workplace violence against nurses, healthcare organizations must implement multicomponent interventions, ideally involving all stakeholders.
