CAPSTONE PREVIEW- BULLYING 2
Capstone Preview- Bullying
Bullying is a topic that is seen in every institution from the time a child starts school all
the way through adulthood. University Medical Center (UMC), in Lubbock Texas, is no
different. On our newly implemented Human Resource (HR) exit surveys, UMC has seen several
instances where staff bullying was mentioned as reasons staff had decided to leave the hospital.
Bullying in the workplace is defined as behavior that is threatening, humiliating, intimidating,
that can interfere with or prevent work, verbal abuse, or mistreatment of one or multiple persons,
by one or multiple offenders (Workplace Bullying Institute [WBI], 2018). Bullying can lead to
low job satisfaction and higher turnover rates (Coetzee & Van Dyk, 2018). Workplace bullying is
an issue that UMC is currently dealing with and has shown to impact the practice setting with the
employee comments on exit survey’s and employee satisfaction surveys. Bullying at UMC has
led people out of the hospital so the affects were evident, changes need to be made to help units
better deal with workplace bullying. The purpose of the capstone project is to introduce a zerotolerance
bullying policy and to educate staff on bullying and the effects it can have on
coworkers. The purpose of this assignment is to provide an annotated bibliography which will
summarize ten sources that address workplace bullying.
Yun, S., & Kang, J. (2018). Influencing factors and consequences of workplace bullying among
nurses: A structural equation modeling. Asian Nursing Research, 12(1), 26-33.
This study aimed to outline the factors and consequences that influenced workplace
bullying and to show the significant effect that a relationship oriented organization had on
nurse bullying. A relationship oriented organization is one where authentic leadership is
present; positive relationships between employees, ethical culture, respect, trust, and

honesty make up authentic leadership. The study showed that “workplace bullying could
be mitigated through a relationship-oriented organizational culture” (Yun & Kang, 2018,
p. 32)
Castronovo, M. A., Pullizzi, A., & Evans, S. (2015). Nurse bullying: A review and a proposed
solution. Nursing Outlook, 10(3), 234-239.
This article summarizes nurse bullying, the vast problem that has been around for more
than 100 years, the prevalence of nurse bullying, what is means, how it begins, who the
perpetrators and victims are, the widespread detrimental consequences of bullying, and a
proposed solution including an incentive program awarding organization like the hospital
value based purchasing program. The article goes on to talk about the implementation of
the incentive program and the establishment of a nursing survey like the Hospital
Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey that
would survey nursing staff about bullying in their institution.

had a significant effect on the student’s self-efficacy, and that the online module was an

effective strategy to prepare the students to deal with and succeed when they experienced
workplace bullying.

needed to be included.
