Abstract

Diverse scholar nurses collaborated and developed an action plan to address the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs’ sustainable development goal of quality education. Incivility in academia and the workforce are escalating internationally, negatively impacting healthcare systems and patient outcomes. The action plan identified simple strategies (modeling civil behavior, setting clear expectations, including ethical case studies, encouraging self-reflection, and rewarding civil behavior) for nurse educators to transfer to practice and integrate into the curriculum to mitigate incivility and cultivate professionalism. A review validated the alignment between nursing accreditation requirements in America and the Netherlands. Civility training continues to be a significant part of nursing education in both countries. The theories of Jean Watson and the Caring Science, Martha Miller's Wheel of Professionalism in Nursing Model, and Dr. Cynthia Clark's, Civility Matters, were referenced and used to guide the development of the civility training recommendations for faculty. The rise of incivility in academia and healthcare settings demonstrates a critical need for civility mentoring to achieve quality education, economic growth, partnerships, patient outcomes, and overall health and well-being.
