Abstract
Incivility and bullying in nursing is a widespread issue. In hectic and stressful environments, such as academic medical centers, harassment in the workplace have a cumulative adverse effect. When situations become volatile, tempers rise, and conditions become unbearable, nurses can use learned skills to hold critical conversations to prevent further disruptive and harmful behaviors. An asynchronous educational activity mapped to the QSEN competencies can promote communication and mitigate incivility and bullying behaviors. The purpose of this study was to examine if an educational intervention mapped to the QSEN competencies and designed to encourage collaborative communication and sustained dialogue between nursing staff can decrease incivility by increasing personal comfort in holding critical conversations.
