Workplace bullying is a global issue that has emerged over the past decades and is widespread all around the world. In Korea, there is a high prevalence of bullying in nursing. In 2019, Korea enacted its workplace anti-bullying legislation. This study explores the changes experienced by nurses after the enactment of the legislation and identifies problems and improvements. Qualitative research was conducted using the phenomenological analysis method proposed by Van Kaam. Twelve nurses with experience in working before and after the enactment of the legislation were selected as study participants. They worked in various departments in five general hospitals across Korea. Purposive sampling was used to recruit participants. Data were collected using one-on-one interviews. These data were analyzed by extracting significant statements and classifying them into categories, themes, and subthemes. The analysis yielded 14 subthemes, five themes, and three categories. The three categories were “positive effect of the law”, “need for awareness of the law reform”, and “impracticalities of the law that caused chaos”. There is a difference between the theory of the law and how things happen in practice in actual nursing situations. Nurses have been educated about the new law, but better education with input from nurses themselves is needed. This study lays the groundwork for a quantitative study of the issue.

“…However, caution is necessary while comparing the reported prevalence rates of negative workplace behavior between countries due to differences in terminology, the lack of definitional consensus, and the multiplicity of assessment measures used in different studies. Reporting is also influenced by pre-existing intercultural differences in the tolerance and perceptions of bullying or similar behaviors [2,10].…”

“…Although negative workplace behavior entails the actions of an individual or a group, organizational culture, workloads, and leadership styles have all been shown to affect its occurrence [10]. It has been suggested that organizations seeking to mitigate negative workplace behaviors should aim to improve organizational processes that inform the management of bullying, implement skills-based training in communication and conflict management, and aim to promote accountability, transparency, and respectful peer alliances [11,12].…”

BACKGROUND Negative workplace behaviour among nurses is an internationally recognised problem, despite the plethora of literature spanning several decades. The various forms of mistreatments and uncaring attitudes experienced by nurses include workplace aggression, incivility, bullying, harassment and horizontal violence. Negative behaviour has detrimental effects on the individual nurse, the organisation, the nursing profession and patients. Multi-level organisational interventions are warranted to influence the ‘civility norms’ of the nursing profession. OBJECTIVE The research protocol is described for this study, the aim of which is to evaluate the effectiveness of an interventional education program on creating respectful workplaces for nurses in regional acute care settings. METHODS This study employs a sequential explanatory mixed methods design, underpinned by Social World’s Theory. The study will be carried out in four acute care regional hospitals from a local health district in New South Wales, Australia. The nurse unit managers, registered nurses and new graduate nurses from the medical and surgical wards of all of the hospitals will be invited to complete a pre-survey examining their perceptions and responses to negative workplace behaviour, and their ways of coping when exposed. The participants at intervention hospitals will then be invited to attend a face-to-face educational workshop designed to increase awareness of negative workplace behaviour, the pathways to seek assistance and aims to create respectful workplaces. The follow up post-survey will be undertaken at all four hospitals 3 to 4 months after the intervention. Participants from both intervention and control sites will then be invited to participate in a face-to-face interview from 6 months post-intervention to enlighten the quantitative findings and give participants a voice. RESULTS Results of the post-intervention survey will be compared with pre-intervention findings using appropriate statistical techniques for the quantitative part of the study. In addition, the results of the qualitative interviews will be analysed to derive related key concepts that are grounded in the data. CONCLUSIONS This research will extend the body of knowledge about negative workplace behaviours and the extent to which an intervention has an effect on nurses, ultimately creating respectful workplaces. Consequently, the findings will have implications for the nursing profession, nursing practice and future policy development. CLINICALTRIAL The trial registration number is ACTRN12618002007213. This study is ongoing and was registered retrospectively with registration date 14.12.2018.
