“…A review of domestic and world studies on workplace violence reveals that they mostly focused on violence of patients and their families against nurses, and that some made no distinction between types of violence. 3,20 –23 Lateral and hierarchical violence toward new graduated nurses can be only inferred from studies in the transitional period. 2,19,24…”

“…For example, acts of violence were explained as the being solely the result of patients’ underlying mental and medical illnesses, rather than a failure to protect nurses from harm. We approach the deliberate neglect or disavowal of nurses’ needs following such events as examples of another kind of violence; namely, the horizontal [ 23 , 24 ] and lateral violence [ 25 – 27 ]. Horizontal violence includes hostile and uncivil behaviours perpetuated laterally across nursing groups or within a hierarchy by educators and employers against student or early-career nurses, sometimes referred to as vertical or hierarchical violence [ 28 ].…”

Entry-level health care professionals are socialized to accept the norms and values associated with institutions in which violence and suffering is considered an anticipated and even routine and normalized part of frontline care. The objective of the study was to illuminate the subjective experience of psychological trauma in graduates from a baccalaureate nursing and psychiatric nursing program using the McGill Illness Narrative Interview, an ethnographic interview guide. Participants included graduates from each program in a western Canadian province who reflected back on their experiences of trauma as students and newly-graduated nurses within their first year of practice as a regulated health professional. Results: Six key themes were identified. Witnessing sudden change in patient or client status and unexpected death; Emotional labour; Faculty incivility; Sabotage, bullying and verbal abuse from the health care team; Exposure to physical violence and sexual inappropriateness; and Mobilizing supports. All exposures were linked to the participants’ definition of psychological trauma. Conclusions: The study findings highlight the power dynamic, abuses, and vulnerability between students, faculty, and their clinical counterparts without adequate recourse. There is a need to foster emotional intelligence, self-efficacy, and resilience when potentially traumatic and stressful experiences occur with student nurse and early-career nursing populations.

“…New nurses are particularly a target for lateral violence due to "perceived lack of competence, lack of organizational tenure, and authority gradients" (Sanner-Stiehr, 2017, p. 133). Lateral violence can cause feelings of depression, despair, loss of self-worth, and increased anxiety (Rainford et al, 2015). Loss of new nurses from lateral violence creates a cycle of increased workload for employees, stress, hostility, and low morale, causing more employees to leave (Rainford et al, 2015).…”

“…Lateral violence can cause feelings of depression, despair, loss of self-worth, and increased anxiety (Rainford et al, 2015). Loss of new nurses from lateral violence creates a cycle of increased workload for employees, stress, hostility, and low morale, causing more employees to leave (Rainford et al, 2015). This cycle adversely affects patient safety and other outcomes, and increases costs to the organization (Sanner-Stiehr, 2018).…”

Workplace incivility is a known cause of anxiety in the workplace, leading to the loss of many new members of the nursing field. This perpetual cycle of hiring and losing nurses, especially new graduates, contributes to the increasing nursing shortage. This study investigated whether the inclusion of prelicensure nursing education on workplace incivility is achievable and capable of improving the outcome for nurses when it occurs. Review of the literature revealed that inclusion of prelicensure education on this topic is possible through utilization of a zero-tolerance policy, Cognitive Rehearsal Technique (CRT), and simulation. Education on workplace incivility and the aforementioned formats for prelicensure education were presented to faculty of a Southeastern U.S. college. Respondents demonstrated interest in detailed instruction on incorporating it into their teaching.
