“Bullying Among Nurses and Its Correlation to Burnout”
Abstract:
Background: Workplace bullying, especially in a healthcare setting, has an increased number of potential implications at an individual level and, as well, at an organizational dimension. The effects of bullying and burnout are the same for healthcare organizations, and therefore, should not be encouraged. However, there is a lack of research that explores the relationship between these two constructs in the Saudi context. Aim: To examine bullying among nurses and its correlation to burnout in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional correlational research design was used to examine bullying. The study was conducted at Eradah and Mental Health Hospital in Jazan, Saudi Arabia. A convenience sampling procedure was used. Data was collected from a sample of 150 nurses. Demographic Questionnaire, The Negative Acts Questionnaire, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory were used during data collection. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and regression analysis were used for data analysis. Results: The results study revealed that bullying significantly correlated with emotional exhaustion and depersonalization subscales of burnout. Gender, marital status, and nationality were identified as significant predictors. Workplace bullying among nurses was predicted by age, gender, level of education, nationality, and nursing role. Conclusion: In conclusion, workplace bullying has a significant impact on burnout among nurses in terms of leading to emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. Therefore, the prevention of bullying in the nursing environment is crucial in reducing burnout among nurses. Healthcare management should implement strategies to prevent bullying and burnout.
