Abstract

This cross-sectional descriptive study was designed to examine critical care registered nurses' perceptions of nurse-to-nurse incivility and professional comportment, and the extent to which education, nurses' age, nursing degree, and years of nursing experience is related to their perceptions on these topics. Professional comportment is comprised of nurses' mutual respect, harmony in beliefs and actions, commitment, and collaboration. Yet, it was unknown whether a relationship existed between a civil or uncivil environment in the nursing profession and nurses' professional comportment. Correlational analyses were conducted to explore the relationship between perceptions of nurse-nurse incivility and professional comportment, and the relationships between incivility and professional comportment education and perceptions of nurse-nurse incivility and professional comportment. Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to identify predictors of perceptions of nurse-nurse incivility and professional comportment.
