“…[24] Research supports the positive impact of emotional intelligence in nurses [10, 12, 16-19, 21, 22, 24-26] as well as the urgent need to disrupt the culture of hostility in the healthcare environment. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Although addressing the deficiencies of emotional intelligence in student nurses is only one piece of the puzzle, it has the potential to reduce the harmful effects of bullying in nursing. Gaining an in-depth understanding of the predictors of emotional intelligent abilities may aid nurse educators in improving emotional processes of nursing students which could subsequently improve future relations with healthcare colleagues.…”

“…[7] Novice nurse productivity was found to be compromised when bullying was present. [7] In a revealing systematic review of hostile clinician relationships and the impact on patient outcomes, Hutchinson & Jackson [1] reported on four thematic hostile relationships that had varying effects on patient safety and quality of care. Included were nurses stories of outright sabotage as payback or acts of hostility that jeopardized patient care such as withholding of pertinent patient information "to make work difficult."…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] Workplace hostility affects many nurses regardless of experience; [1] however, new nurses may especially be vulnerable to bullying as they often lack confidence in confronting senior staff members effectively, or do not have the skills or maturity to communicate their needs or those of their patients. [7,8] A recent survey of 197 novice nurses (NN) revealed that nearly 73% reported a "workplace bullying" (WPB) event within the previous month, with close to 57% being the direct target and 15% witnessing an event primarily by more experienced nurses.

Objective: New nurses may be vulnerable to bullying as they often lack confidence or do not have the skills or maturity to communicate their needs or those of their patients. Increasing emotional intelligence particularly in at-risk nursing students may be one way to foster resiliency. This exploratory cross sectional study aimed to exam the overall level and specific components of emotional intelligence as well as associations with age, ethnicity, gender, or academic standing in baccalaureate nursing students. Methods: A cross sectional analytical study was conducted using a paper demographic survey and an online emotional intelligence (EI) instrument, the MSCEIT V2.0. A convenience sample of lower division nursing students attending a professional nursing course was recruited. Statistical analyses include demographic descriptives, EI total and sub score means and standard deviations, paired t-tests to compare within group differences, and simple and linear regression on seven different EI scores to examine predictive qualities of demographic variables. Results: Overall total and many component EI scores were high average with variations noted within groups. Multiple linear regressions demonstrated that after controlling for all variables, a higher GPA and being Asian compared to White were associated with higher scores in mostly all components of EI. Four-year students scored higher than transfer students in understanding emotions. Being male was predictive of the branch, facilitating thought, and Latinos were associated with a higher score in perceiving emotions. Conclusions: This study provides an in-depth exploration of not only total EI in a lower division nursing student sample, but a comprehensive examination of the components of emotional intelligence. EI measurements can be used to identify strengths and weaknesses in abilities that can be either gleaned, or developed as needed to faciliate creative problem solving, effective patient interactions, and to develop resiliency to incivility in the workplace.

“…In some fields, such as the health sciences, introductions can be quite short and provide a limited literature review, focusing on sources that are directly relevant. For example, Berry et al (2012) had approximately one page of introduction in an 8 page paper that appeared in a nursing journal concerning an empirical study of bullying and job productivity in nursing. This paper demonstrates that it is possible to have an adequate research report without an extensive introduction and literature review that in many cases is redundant with other available sources, thus filling precious journal space with repeated reviews of the same literature.…”

The Lost Art of Discovery: The Case for Inductive Methods in Occupational Health Science and the Broader Organizational Sciences

This paper makes a case for the necessity of inductive and abductive approaches to research in occupational health science and the broader organizational sciences. Three forms of scientific inference are described: induction (exploratory research that generalizes from observations), abduction (deriving explanations for observations), and deduction (confirmatory research that tests theory-derived hypotheses). It is argued that the current deductive exclusiveness in the major journals of many fields has created unintended challenges to research integrity of confirmation bias, phacking, HARKing, and the chrysalis effect. Recommendations are given for writing and reviewing research papers that adopt an inductive and/or abductive approach.Keywords Abduction . Exploratory research . Inductive research . Philosophyofscience . Research integrity . Research methods Discovery can be considered the most important aspect of scientific progress, both for the field and individual scientists. Famous scientists are generally known mostly for what they discovered, such as Einstein for relativity, Fleming for penicillin, and Newton for mechanics of motion. Although these examples are from the physical sciences, social and organizational sciences have discoveries too, for example, that goals improve performance (E. A. Locke and Latham 1990), or that introducing new work technologies can be disruptive and stressful (Trist and Bamforth 1951). These discoveries add to the knowledge base of the field, help direct future research, and are often the basis for evidence-based intervention in the field. Yet despite the fact that discovery is vitally important in science, for more than two decades, the organizational sciences have rejected discovery, considering it somehow inferior and unimportant as

Background Bullying has been identified as one of the leading workplace stressors, with adverse consequences for the individual employee, groups of employees, and whole organisations. Employees who have been bullied have lower levels of job satisfaction, higher levels of anxiety and depression, and are more likely to leave their place of work. Organisations face increased risk of skill depletion and absenteeism, leading to loss of profit, potential legal fees, and tribunal cases. It is unclear to what extent these risks can be addressed through interventions to prevent bullying. Objectives To explore the effectiveness of workplace interventions to prevent bullying in the workplace.

Novice Nurse Productivity Following Workplace Bullying

Abstract: Healthcare facilities should continue to measure WPB in the work environment after policy implementation as well as eliminate negative behaviors through root-cause analysis to correct environmental factors associated with WPB.
