Impact of workplace harassment and violence on the nursing
profession
Melissa Gonzalez
1
Current Relevance of The Topic
Employers however have remained silent over the issues facing
the nurses.
They really don’t feel comfortable to address the issues
appropriately. A half of the people who have been harassed
have remained helpless.
Verbal harassment is propagated by the patients who may pass a
stern word to the nurses in the line of duty. Though physical
harassment has not been very prevalent, the nurses have still
reported cases of physical assault from the nurses (Johnson,
2021).
2
Research has shown that there is rise in both physical and
verbal Harassment among nurses
Verbal harassment has been 59% prevalent
Physical harassment has featured 23% times
How Will The Topic Impact Your Role As A Nurse In Nursing
Workforce
The presence of harassment of the nurses while in the line of
duty may promote tense working relationship.
It may also lead to decline patient care.
This may cause me a moral distress.
At some point I may end up working with a mindset of fear
knowing that at some point I may be hurt by a patient. This may
only end up reducing my effectiveness and the way I work.
I do not know how different patients may interpret different
patient care methods. I may minimize the care because I fear the
outburst of the client.
Incase I am assaulted physically, I may end up not developing
depression and stress over the moral decency the society has
gone into. This may make me view every other client as a
potential perpetrator (Gale, et al. 2019).
3
Detail Your Plan For How You Would Lobby Your Legislators
I will mobilize my fellow nurses to join the action.
I will engage the union for nurses.
Create time and conduct live interviews with the victims.
We can lobby by affirmative action. By signing or collecting
signatures from fellow nurses who have been harassed in the
past, it will give me the ground for really fighting against this
vice because I have the proof.
The Unions are central and pivotal in solving issues to do with
their workers. Meeting the Union leaders will be a boost to me.
The interviews with the victims will enable me to get all
possible finer details that In need to get in order to voice my
issue (Ekici, & Beder, 2014).
4
Detail your plan for how you would lobby your legislators
Meet the legislators within my reach.
Use print and digital media to create awareness and launch
campaigns against such behaviors.
These are the policy makers that we have. If they can be
influenced to make favorable policies, then we may be at peace
as nurses. I will meet and talk to different stakeholders to
influence the level of engagement.
5
Ethical Issues Around The Topic
There is a code of ethics to help us address the issues of sexual
harassment among women.
The code of ethics require nurses to:
Treat EVERYONE whom they interact with, with respect
Maintain compassionate and caring relationships with
colleagues
Organizations that employ nurses, as well as the nursing
profession itself, have an ethical obligation to address sexual
harassment. The Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive
Statements obligates nurses to create “an ethical environment
and culture of civility and kindness, treating colleagues,
coworkers, employees, students, and others with dignity and
respect.
6
Ethical Issues Around The Topic
It is important to understand what I need to do as a nurse. This
will be helpful because I will be on the right track. Though with
the prevailing ethical issues against the harassment that is
present (Karatuna et al 2020).
7
Commit to the fair treatment of others.
Resolve conflict.
Value the distinct contribution of individuals or groups.
Collaborate to meet the shared goals of providing quality health
services.
Conclusion
It is possible to end harassment in workplace if we all unite to
make the difference. We have different capabilities that we need
in order to overcome. Suffering in silence kills us slowly till we
are gone.
8
Integrated And Used In Clinical Practice
9
I must be aware that harassment exists.
The best way to overcome it is to abide to the ethical standards
and speak my ideas out to people.
Be careful not to offend or be the starting point of harassment
as a result of my conduct.
