“…Earlier research tended to pay attention almost exclusively to personal variables (Milam et al, 2009; Sliter et al, 2012a) and social norms (Gallus, Bunk, Matthews, Barnes-Farrell, & Magley, 2014) as possible precursors of incivility. The significance of the path from efficiency to incivility suggests that referring to the work environment assumption (Nielsen et al, 2012) may be useful in developing studies aimed at understanding the roots of incivility (Mikaelian & Stanley, 2016). With this assumption, Nielsen et al (2012) propose that workplace aggression was primarily caused by factors related to deficiencies in work design and organisation.…”

In spite of the considerable number of studies on co-worker incivility, knowledge on this topic needs to be further enhanced. In particular, no studies have focused on the reciprocal nature of the relationship of incivility with other important aspects of working life, i.e. employee well-being and the quality of the working process. The aim of the present study was to examine the cross-lagged associations among co-worker incivility, work-related exhaustion, and organisational efficiency in a sample of healthcare workers. Based on the conservation of resource theory, we hypothesised that those three variables affect each other reciprocally over the time. Data from a two-wave study design (with a one-year time lag) were utilised, and cross-lagged structural equation models were performed. Results confirmed that incivility and efficiency affected each other reciprocally over time. On the other hand, whereas incivility positively predicted exhaustion and exhaustion at inversely predicted organisational efficiency, the opposite paths were found to be not significant. The study suggests that efficiency is crucial for understanding incivility because it operates both as its cause and as its outcome. Interventions aimed at promoting civility and respect in the workplace may help prevent co-worker incivility, work-related exhaustion, and enhance organisational efficiency.

“…Role-play amongst students during nursing theory would allow for students to experience and understand the effects of incivility on peers as nursing students and as nurses. Mikaelian and Stanley (2016) supported the school of thought when they stated the issue should be addressed at the beginning of a nurse's education. It is important to reiterate that to simply state that nurses eat their young, or reading the ANA code of ethics are not enough to suffice when it comes to nurses truly comprehending the length at which incivility can go in decimating ones' spirit in nursing.…”

“…Mikaelian and Stanley (2016) presented an interesting take on incivility aside in nursing in relation to the history of the nurse in the medical field where nurses as having an oppressed past. The disposition of nurses was viewed as one that was under the helm of the doctors, which has historically been a strenuous relationship, and a struggle for respect.…”

“…Mikaelian and Stanley (2016) stated that the global nurse workforce will undergo "unprecedented shortfalls," and that the forces of incivility in nurses compounds this shortage because workplace bullying in nursing is pushing nurses out of the nursing profession. The issue with incivility is that it is often difficult to identify, and is covert in nature.…”

Incivility, bullying, horizontal, vertical, and lateral violence are unethical behaviors. This affects job satisfaction, retention, and causes added stress. The purpose of this article is to provide information relative to key descriptions of incivility, discuss its impact on nurses and patient care, and lastly to discuss ways to reduce incivility in the workplace and nursing as a whole. The phrase, nurses eat their young, was commonly used in the past. Bullies in white refer to intentional maltreatment of the nurses, by the nurses. It is reported that more than one-third of nurses leave their employment, costing the healthcare industry billions of dollars annually because of incivility.

“…In‐deed this is partly the motivation for ‘Patsy’ to embrace the sense of power she feels as she changes into a zombie. It is common to hear the expression, ‘nurses eat our young’ and there is significant evidence that this has not changed in recent years (Mikaelian & Stanley, ). However, nurse Patsy takes this expression literally, adding an extreme cautionary tale about the dangers of a nursing's bullying culture.…”

Aim To explore how nurses, who are the principal character of zombie‐focused feature films are portrayed. Design A mixed methods study with a quantitative exploration of 44,000 feature film synopsis and additional online material for films made between 1900 and 2018 was used. Zombie‐focused films (485) were reviewed for their genre, county, year of production, and plot‐lines. Ten zombie films featuring nurses in key roles were analysed via an interpretive, qualitative thematic analysis. The study was undertaken between May 2018 ‐ November 2018. Method A quantitative review of film synopses and relevant movie specific web sites or key literature for the word, ‘zombie’ and/or ‘zombie nurse’ and an interpretive, qualitative thematic analysis of nurse specific zombie films. Results Most of the 485 zombie‐focused films located were produced or co‐produced in the USA. Only 115 zombie‐focused feature films were identified with health professionals, of these, 27 films featured nurses, 10 with nurses in the main role. Nurses were portrayed as romantic, sexualized, caring, self‐sacrificial and strong or evil, however, the over‐arching representation of nurses in zombie films was tied to the depravity from which zombie sub‐culture is based. Conclusion Few zombie films feature nurses in the main role. However, the negative, violent and deprived nature of this genre offers a poor reflection on nursing. Impact How nurses are portrayed in films is important because it influences how the public, patients, and nurses themselves view their profession and role. Understanding the way nurses are portrayed may help professional bodies to better prepare recruitment material.
