Bullying in the work place can be a very stressful
situation. Bully is not acceptable at any age; it does not make it less serious
issue if the person getting bully is an older person. Bully can be both psychological
and physical abuse. In some circumstance bully can escalate to physical abuse. Emotional
and physical scares can cause serious problems in the future if unresolved. I have
not experience bully in the work place or in clinical setting, but I have heard
of stories of bullying from nurses. I hope to handle bullying the right way, I will
use the chain of commanded in order to handle this serious problem.
If I am being bullied I will keep calm and control the aggressor
by saying stop or stop bullying me. Bullying is very unhealthy it affects a person’s
self-esteem, poor work outcome, stress and physical ailments such as stomach
aches. I think that bullying is happening because other individuals who witness
the bullying do not stand up for what is right. Individuals who are witnessing
bullying are afraid of the aggressor redirecting their anger towards them. The next
generation of healthcare providers should be able to stop horizontal violence
by implementing a foundation of respect and love for each other. Basically teach
and live how Jesus lived and taught to his disciples. Treat others the way you
want to be treated is the foundation of Jesus teaching. It is better said than
done unfortunately, however this should not discourage nurses that want to eliminate
bully. By living a good Christian life and setting the example you’re self gives
a much stronger message then words.
