Roots and constructs of incivility in professional nursing education: Refocusing solutions and actions

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / Incivility is rudeness, disrespect, disregard for others or their opinions, and a
barrier to social interaction that could be associated with stress. The lack of regard for others
creates a disrespectful, conflicting, and stressful environment, which could be perceived as an
attack on the individual‟s dignity, or sense of self-worth. According to reports, such
behaviour could be increasing and affecting the welfare of educators, students, and the
overall educational process. Nursing education has not been exempted from this behaviour.
Therefore, incivility is a nursing problem, which affects all those involved, from the
academics, students, clinicians, patients and families.
