  1. This is a short video and workplace bullying nursing edition,
  2. we'll briefly touch on the impacts of bullying between nurses and
  3. how to navigate and come up with strategies to decrease these impacts
  4. and make us better nurses for the future.
  5. The College of Nurses of Ontario as they are
  6. wonderful examples of how to maintain a bully free environment
  7. and how to handle these situations.
  8. For those who haven't experienced bullying in the workplace,
  9. you may be asking yourself what affects us,
  10. the nurse experienced in relation to bullying.
  11. I went to first touch on the
  12. decrease of therapeutic relationships with their clients.
  13. This is a crucial step in health promotion and when we come
  14. to work with the negative mindset from being bullied in the past,
  15. it puts our client at risk not improving as they need positivity,
  16. secondly, is lack of confidence.
  17. This stems from low self esteem, which could be acquired through bullying.
  18. We're being bullied in the nursing professions can make someone question
  19. their ability to be a good nurse and decreases the confidence.
  20. Again, this is dangerous as we want to be confident in the care of providing,
  21. and in the end it is the client who will suffer.
  22. And thirdly, there could be a declining mental health.
  23. This can include anxiety,
  24. was going to work and could show symptoms such
  25. as indigestion and nervousness when attending the toxic workplace.
  26. So then we want to ask ourselves,
  27. what are ways that we could diminish or red
  28. bullying between nurses.
  29. Well, we could do this a couple of ways.
  30. The first is prevention.
  31. The first point is being a role model,
  32. being a role models. The first way we could prevent bullying,
  33. which we were positive and confident in her nursing abilities.
  34. Six could be uplifting to those who are struggling at work
  35. and can change the way others negatively think when attending work.
  36. Secondly, we could provide prevention by mentoring and supporting new nurses.
  37. I'm sure we've all heard of the saying nurses eat their young.
  38. This is a toxic way to be as this is
  39. a part of the bully culture.
  40. The quote needs to be changed to nurses support their young.
  41. If you want to have a good working environment, nurses must act accordingly.
  42. So our new nurses can mirror effective and safe styles of nursing
  43. and properly manage conflict.
  44. It is important to also treat these new nurses how you want to be treated,
  45. especially when you first started out was everyone has to start somewhere.
  46. Third, we could prevent by reflecting on the type of nurse you want to be,
  47. We could do this by going home after a shift in seeing
  48. what your strengths as the nurses or what you could improve on.
  49. Additionally,
  50. we can achieve prevention by taking steps to maintain a stress free environment.
  51. If we are not taking care of ourselves,
  52. we can expect a negative outcome when providing clients due to care
  53. to maintain the therapeutic relationship. We must find ways to manage stress.
  54. The second tool we can use for bullying has had to manage it
  55. and we can do this by first
  56. addressing conflict.
  57. We don't want to avoid it as this could create
  58. tension and affect your ability to provide effective nursing care.
  59. This also ties in with the next point
  60. of addressing what behaviors lead to the conflict.
  61. By doing this,
  62. we could focus on the behaviors in the first place and see where things went wrong,
  63. rather than focusing merely on the coworker's behavior alone.
  64. Third,
  65. we do not ever want to assume
  66. we often have misconceptions when going into a conflict situation,
  67. which is natural,
  68. but to manage the conflict going into the situation with
  69. an open mind while validating feelings rather than dismissing them
  70. is a great management measures for conflict of bullying.
  71. Lastly,
  72. this can then lead to a discussion of what caused a conflict in the first place,
  73. we want to go through a chain of command.
  74. Initially we should seek a discussion with a co worker to determine what went wrong
  75. and with the conflict is regarding, and if it still doesn't get resolved,
  76. it should be taken to someone who is unbiased,
  77. potentially someone in a management setting.
  78. This quote states if all nurses demonstrated empathy toward each other,
  79. nurse bullying would cease to exist.
  80. This quote is an important note to leave with.
  81. We're always taught to be empathetic to our patients, no matter what?
  82. If we could be empathetic to our patients,
  83. why is it so difficult to be empathetic to our co workers as well.
  84. You can find more information on the Sienna website listed below.
  85. Thank you for listening.
