When a person goes to a nurse, it is usually not for money, work safety or work. Our people who choose to take care of our profession are usually taking care of other people and want to make a change in the world. The new nurse is pleased to get a license and start working in nursing. When a new nurse enters the field of nursing, they often practice longer and meet more experienced nurses with more experience. This may be an opportunity for new graduates to learn and grow, and may lead to horizontal violence in the workplace.
Horizontal violence and bullying have serious consequences for staff nurses. Because, through horizontal violence and bullying, nurses are exhausted mentally and physically, threatened, humiliated, upset and breaking the confidence of nurses. By allowing these kinds of behaviors, nurses gradually feel sick. According to Longo (2007), the cause of this bullying is anger, depression, work stress, insomnia, increased stress, anxiety, loneliness. Not only senior officials, nurses may feel pressure due to organizational structure and culture. Inadequate training, low salary, and poisonous environment confound nurses
Horizontal violence is a violent act caused by the same level of discussion as an employee. In medical institutions, when a nurse is physically, verbally or emotionally abused by a senior nurse, it is called horizontal violence. There are several reasons for horizontal violence in the medical environment, such as confusion, word insult, information concealment, leakage of internal information, lack of respect for privacy, nonverbal clues, disturbing acts, loss of confidence There (Bartholomew, 2006).
In modern times, horizontal violence and bullying can lead to worse situations not only in medical organizations but in all organizations. Due to horizontal violence and bullying, employees are in a poor and humiliating attitude towards employees at the same level or below. This situation creates an even worse workplace culture within the organization. Since nurses are affiliated with medical institutions, the effects of horizontal violence and bullying will increase. Nurses are constantly humiliated (Knopper, 2009). They can not serve in an appropriate way. This situation has a serious effect on the reputation of the organization.
Analysis of the problem clearly shows that perception of violence may affect job satisfaction and motivation. (Roche) Generally, nurses who experience horizontal violence feel uncomfortable in the workplace, have high work pressure, low morale, less respect for staff than unrevealed nurses, supervise There is little support on above. The number of violent exposures is inversely proportional to workplace safety and satisfaction (Ienacco et al., 2013). Nursing staff should play a role in the fight against horizontal violence. Nurses have to understand the policy to influence professional behavior in the workplace (Maxfield et al., 2005) and feel that there is a right to take action against HV . Empowerment strategies include conflict and team formation (Kupperschmidt, 2006), mentoring programs (Latham, Hogan, & Ringl, 2008) and cognitive rehearsals (Stagg et al., 2011). Maxfield and colleagues (2005) found that only 5% to 15% of nurses face colleagues about non-professional behavior
