Aim:
This descriptive phenomenological study explored the lived experiences of workplace bullying among female nurses in Türkiye.

A descriptive phenomenological study.
Methods:
Between September 2024 and August 2025, online semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 16 female nurses working in public, private and university hospitals across different regions of Türkiye.
Results:
Four main themes emerged: 'Mobbing', 'Effects of Mobbing', 'Coping Methods' and 'Suggested Solutions'. Workplace bullying was found to be a multidimensional organisational problem that profoundly impairs nurses' emotional, physical and professional well-being.
Conclusion:
Workplace bullying is a multidimensional organisational problem that negatively affects nurses' emotional, physical and professional well-being. Preventing workplace bullying requires not only individual awareness but also institutional policies with enforcement power and strong managerial support mechanisms.
