Patient Safety and Workplace Bullying: An Integrative Review

Noreen M Houck et al. J Nurs Care Qual. 2017 Apr/Jun.

Abstract

Workplace bullying is strongly associated with negative nursing outcomes, such as work dissatisfaction, turnover, and intent to leave; however, results of studies examining associations with specific patient safety outcomes are limited or nonspecific. This integrative review explores and synthesizes the published articles that address the impact of workplace nurse bullying on patient safety.
