This study developed a cognitive rehearsal program using role-play simulations to help nursing students understand and cope with workplace bullying. The program enhanced knowledge and coping skills but did not reduce bullying symptoms.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Workplace Bullying
- Healthcare Management
Background:
- Workplace bullying negatively impacts nursing students' learning and well-being.
- Traditional training methods may not adequately prepare nurses for bullying scenarios.
- Developing effective interventions is crucial for mitigating bullying in healthcare settings.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate a cognitive rehearsal education program for nursing students.
- To assess the program's impact on knowledge, perceptions, and symptoms of workplace bullying.
- To explore the program's effect on participants' coping skills and educational engagement.
Main Methods:
- A mixed-method design incorporating a quasi-experimental approach and focus group interviews.
- 39 nursing students from two universities participated in the program.
- Quantitative data collected on symptoms, knowledge, and perceptions; qualitative data from focus groups.
Main Results:
- The program significantly improved nursing students' knowledge and perceptions of workplace bullying.
- No significant reduction in bullying symptoms was observed.
- Focus group participants reported enhanced coping skills and increased desire for further education.
Conclusions:
- The cognitive rehearsal program shows promise in raising awareness and improving coping strategies for workplace bullying among nursing students.
- Further development and integration into hospital settings could help manage bullying and its consequences.
- The program offers a valuable tool for nursing education and professional development.
