Abstract

The purpose of this case study was to gain an understanding of nursing faculty members' intentional use of three research-based strategies that have been shown to promote civility in the BSN classroom. Specifically, Ajzen's (1985) Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) was used to analyze nursing faculty members' reports of their attitudes, normative beliefs, and control beliefs about the use of three research-based strategies that have been shown to promote civility in their classroom. Azjen theorized that individuals base their behaviors on intention and intentions are based on the individuals' attitudes toward the behavior, their perceptions of how others wanted them to perform the behavior, and their behavioral control to perform the behavior.
