Increased bullying in the workplace is increasingly recognized as a serious problem in society. Reports from general media and specialized media indicate that there is increasing evidence that the level of bullying, harassment, and violence among medical staff are increasing (UNISON, 2003). Chaboyer, Najman and Dunn (2001) explained Australian nursing care is now a profession, but explained that the use of horizontal violence in intervention, bullying, aggression has been regarded as a serious problem.

In occupations where care is a work center, it is an obstacle to see excessive bullying in a care environment. Horizontal bullying and horizontal violence are used to explain physical and mental abuse by bullying, unknown behavior, disrespect, declining social evaluation, peer control, words between nurses and colleagues It is a term used for. Boss abuse is considered a vertical or violent level and is common at high levels.

People other than health care are studying bullying between nurses and nurses and seek caregivers for whether there is a problem of bullying in their workplace environment, so bullying is a "black eye" in nursing professionals It is becoming becoming. The image of the nursing profession as a moral occupation is in danger

Although the reason has not yet been clarified, bullying is said to be particularly popular in nursing occupations. People believe that relationship attacks (psychological aspects of bullying such as chat and intimidation) are related. Related attacks are being studied by girls, but adult women are not much studied. Legal professional bullying is considered more common than other industries. It is thought that its opposed and hierarchical tradition will help to achieve this goal. Trainees and lawyers are affected by women who are less than five years old. Also, minority lawyers, lesbian, gay, and bisexual attorneys are also affected.
