Torts in nursing are wrongful acts that can harm patients and potentially lead to civil liability for the involved nurse. These wrongful acts range from unintentional errors to deliberate actions.

Background:

  • Horizontal violence among nurses is a recognized issue impacting the work environment.
  • Understanding nurses' perceptions is crucial for addressing this phenomenon.
  • Previous research has identified various forms of horizontal violence in healthcare settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore horizontal violence and nurses' perceptions within inpatient hospital units.
  • To identify the language nurses use to describe their experiences with horizontal violence.
  • To determine factors in the nursing work environment that perpetuate horizontal violence.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study utilizing observation, policy review, and staff interviews.
  • Conducted in two 28-bed inpatient hospital units.
  • Thematic analysis of collected data.

Main Results:

  • Five key themes emerged: behaviors minimized, fear inhibiting reporting, avoidance/isolation as coping, lack of respect/support, and organizational chaos.
  • Nurses often do not recognize or report horizontal violence due to fear and environmental factors.
  • The study identified specific workplace dynamics that sustain horizontal violence.

Conclusions:

  • Horizontal violence is a complex, embedded phenomenon in the nursing work environment.
  • Interventions must be multifaceted, addressing individual behaviors and organizational factors.
  • Future strategies should consider the interconnectedness of elements perpetuating horizontal violence.
