Horizontal violence is widespread in nursing with deep influences. Foreign studies on horizontal violence among nurses are rich in content, including epidemic characteristics, influencing factors, impacts, intervention measures, experiences, etc. However, domestic studies are limited to current situation investigation and influencing factors. Research on intervention measures is very lacking. In this paper, horizontal violence relevant literatures at home and abroad were reviewed, and the epidemiological characteristics, effects and strategies adopted abroad were summarized, to provide references for domestic researches.

“…Subtle forms of violence, such as gossip about private life or work done, are not recognized as such or as a violation of privacy, although they are far from the principles and values that characterize professional conduct. 4 The interviewees reported that those nurses who use forms of violence do it to mask their professional insecurity and personal emptiness, which can be confirmed by the theory of the Oppressed Group Behaviour , considered a risk factor for horizontal violence. 29 Low self-esteem and feelings of helplessness, recalled by the narratives of new graduates, portray nurses as an oppressed group, as also reported by Ebrahimi.…”

“…Horizontal violence has been described as ‘a negative interaction, an interpersonal conflict between two nurses of similar positions, same hierarchical levels’, 3 and it may be psychological, verbal, physical or characterised by discrimination, prejudice and insufficient support. 4 Its impact on nurses’ well-being is greater than when it is perpetrated by patients or their family members, referred to as ‘external’, especially if it manifests itself under psychological and verbal forms. 5 Among the various definitions that have described this phenomenon in the literature, there is its association with bullying, considered as an event that is perpetuated over time, as opposed to horizontal violence that may occur also occasionally.…”

“…This entails isolation, gossip and conjectures, with excessive criticism and sarcastic comments aimed at diminishing their self-esteem, with a lack of understanding and patience and, above all, threatening the assignment of disproportionate workloads and assignments, without any professional support. 4,7,8,11,12 The deliberate assignment of disproportionate workloads and patients with complex care needs that are not commensurate with new graduates’ level of experience also exposes patients to unnecessary risks and inadequate care. Such actions are perpetrated at the expense of newcomers solely to put them to test and under strain 13 or are the result of senior nurses’ low awareness and excessive expectation towards new graduates.…”

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Horizontal violence, defined in the literature as ‘interpersonal conflict between two nurses at the same hierarchical levels in organizations’, often associated with bullying, affects the well-being of nurses, care recipients and the professional image of nursing and the organization due to increased turnover. One in every three newly graduated nurses is a victim of horizontal violence, although they do not always know how to define it. Aim: To investigate the direct and indirect experiences of horizontal violence in newly graduated nurses as well as to shed light on the phenomenon, on its awareness and recognition. Methods: A qualitative phenomenological study was conducted between September and October 2018 with newly graduated nurses, with a work experience ranging between 6 months and 3 years. The interviews were conducted face-to-face, consisting of a first open general question, followed by semi-structured questions. Ethical considerations: The study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, and the protocol was approved by the Institution Review Board. Results: From the analysis of the interviews of the 21 participants, four main themes were identified: the ‘enemies’, that is those who exercised violence, the ‘weapons’ used by them to exercise violence, the ‘effects’ and the types of ‘armor’ identified to protect themselves. Discussion: Horizontal violence is rarely recognized by newly graduated nurses, even though our sample had directly or indirectly experienced horizontal violence. Tackling the phenomenon starting from the undergraduate degree courses, focusing on effective support and more protection by the organization leaders were the silent requests that emerged from this study. Conclusion: Preventing horizontal violence is important for nurses’ professional and private well-being, for professional conduct and for the quality of care provided to patients.

“…Similarly, the study noted that self-esteem describes the individual's believes on his/her capability (Pierce et al, 2015). Nurse's self-esteem involves the real self, empathy, ability to cooperate with colleagues (Ebrahimi et al, 2016). Thus, the person with higher self-esteem consider himself as the person of worth (Rosenberg, 1979).…”

In the developing countries, health sector has been facing the critical issues like lack of staff, management focus, health facilities and other challenges. Therefore, it is the need of time that supportive and flexible environment should be provided to the nurses so that the self-esteem can be increased and efficient health services can be ensured. Moreover, leaders play a vital role to create the flexible environment that increases the nurse's self-esteem. Thus, the current study investigates the influence of transformational leadership style on the nurse's self-esteem of public hospitals of Lahore, Pakistan.
