Perceived uncivil behaviour in Indonesian nursing education.

Area of Science:

• Nursing Education
• Social Sciences

Background:

• Uncivil behaviour is increasingly studied in Western nursing education.
• Indonesia is a new context for studying uncivil behaviour in nursing.
• Incivility is a growing concern in Indonesian nurse education.

Purpose of the Study:

• To investigate the construct of uncivil behaviour in Indonesian nursing education.
• To explore perceptions of uncivil behaviour among Indonesian nursing students and faculty.
• To examine the potential impact of socio-economic status on the manifestation of uncivil behaviour.

Main Methods:

• Qualitative study conducted in two nursing faculties in western Indonesia.
• Explored perceptions of uncivil behaviour among students and faculty.
• Investigated the influence of socio-economic status and cultural factors.

Main Results:

• Uncivil behaviour is perceived differently within the Indonesian context compared to Western settings.
• Findings indicate a strong implication of religion in the perception and manifestation of uncivil behaviour.
• Socio-economic status may play a role, but religion emerged as a more significant factor.

Conclusions:

• Understanding uncivil behaviour in Indonesian nursing education requires context-specific investigation.
• Religious and cultural factors significantly shape the perception of incivility among Indonesian nursing students and faculty.
• Further research is needed to develop culturally sensitive interventions to address uncivil behaviour in this setting.
