J Nurses Staff Dev. 2012 May-Jun;28(3):94-8. doi: 10.1097/NND.0b013e31825514bb.

Abstract

A growing body of research on workplace bullying which addresses the detrimental consequences of bullying in nursing has emerged. This quasi-experimental pilot study was aimed at examining the effect of an educational program provided to nursing staff on workplace bullying. The development of an educational program and use of a registered nurse educator in a group setting is an effective method for addressing workplace bullying.
