BackgroundThe incidence of incivility in nursing education is increasing in most countries and it is affecting the culture of safety and the teaching-learning processes. Despite reports of increasing trends, little is known about nursing students’ academic incivility in the Middle East. This study aimed at exploring the perceptions and extent of academic incivility among nursing students (NS) and nursing faculty members (NF) in a university based undergraduate nursing program in Oman.MethodsA quantitative cross sectional survey was used to explore NS academic incivility from the perspective of NS and NF in a public university in Oman. Data was obtained from a sample of 155 NS and 40 NF using the Incivility in Nursing Education Survey.ResultsThere was agreement between NS and NF on the majority of behaviors perceived to be disruptive. The incidence of NS academic incivility was moderate. The most common uncivil behaviors were acting bored or apathetic in class, holding conversations that distract others in class, using cell phones during class, arriving late for class, and being unprepared for class. There were significant differences between NF and NS perceived incidence of uncivil behaviors such as sleeping in class (p = 0.016); not paying attention in class (p = 0.004); refusing to answer direct questions (p = 0.013); leaving class early (p = 0.000); cutting or not coming to class (p = 0.024); and creating tension by dominating class discussions (p = 0.002).ConclusionStudent academic incivility is moderately present in nursing education in Oman, and this may have implications in terms of the future of the profession and patient care. There is need for more streamlined policies and strategies to curtail the incidence of academic incivility and to maintain safe and effective learning environments.

“…Yet there is a scarcity of research addressing the issues that impact the ability of nursing education to develop ethical thinking ability in nursing students (Fowler & Davis, 2013). Ulrich et al (2010) concluded that nurses with less than five years of experience reported higher levels of stress associated with managing ethical issues encountered in their practice than nurses who had more than five years of experience.…”

correlation between knowledge and action in senior baccalaureate nursing students. There was no significant difference in this relationship as a result of education or experience within the student group but a large discrepancy in the numbers of participants in each group may have impacted this finding. Thus college credit in courses on ethics, previous experience with making health care decisions, and general experience in health care did not significantly impact this relationship, but did indicate a need for further research.
