Abstract

Bullying is defined as actions and behaviors
that threaten interpersonal connections (McNamara,
2012). Examples of bullying include verbal abuse, sexual
harassment, and physical altercations (McNamara, 2012).
As a result of bullying, a nurse may have gastrointestinal
complications, cardiovascular irregularities, and even
suicidal ideations (McNamara, 2012; Thompson, 2013).
As a result, nurses are not able to deliver optimal nursing
care (Christie & Jones, 2014). Nurses who are unable to
perform their job due to bullying place patients at risk for
negative outcomes.
