Nancy Mastronardi, MSN, RN, CPHQ Seton Heathcare Family October 27, 2017 The Price of Silence: The impact of ignoring incivility, lateral violence and bullying in the professional practice environment.

Outcomes The attendee will be able to: Identify the key behaviors of incivility, lateral violence and bullying that negatively impact the professional work environment. Describe the impact of ignoring incivility, lateral violence and bullying on the nurse, the patient and the organization. Commit to zero tolerance and apply strategies discussed to manage these behaviors when witnessed or experienced in the professional work environment.

Ascension is the largest nonprofit health system in the U. S Ascension is the largest nonprofit health system in the U.S. and the world’s largest Catholic health system. In Texas, Ascension operates Providence Healthcare Network and Seton Healthcare Family, which includes Dell Children’s Medical Center of Central Texas and 120 related clinical facilities that together employ more than 13,000 employees. Seton Healthcare Family has 3 Magnet and 3 Pathway to Excellence designated hospitals. Say a little about your position and how you became interested in this topic.

It’s Time to Confront Reality... Recognizing incivility/lateral violence and bullying... getting our heads out of the sand In his book the speed of trust, Stephen Covey talks about 13 behaviors that create an atmosphere of trust. One of these is the commitment to take issues head on – even the “undiscussables”. Lead out courageously in conversation and don’t skirt the real issues. What are we not saying that needs to be said... What will happen if we don’t face the issues here...

Let’s call it what it is! Incivility: “Rude or disruptive behaviors which often result psychological or physiological distress for the people involved – and if left unaddressed, may progress to threatening situations” (Clark, 2013) Lateral Violence: “Sabotage directed at coworkers who are on the same level within an organization’s hierarchy” (Dunn, 2003) Bullying: “The persistent, demeaning, and downgrading of humans through vicious words and cruel acts that gradually undermine confidence and self-esteem” (Adams, 1997) Important to define what incivility is because perpetrators don’t often view their behavior as problematic or abusive Nurses tolerate so much behavior because they try to dismiss as not serious Most common is lateral incivility (nurse to nurse) and hierarchical (supervisor or manager to nurse, faculty to student, physician to nurse)

Why? Oppressed-Group Theory An increasing sense of powerlessness in the practice environment (downsizing, competition) Generational differences Personality issues...some people are just “jerks”...and they are everywhere.

Incivility/Bullying – Covert to Overt Nonverbal - eye rolling Incomplete information Rude or snide comments Gossiping Broken confidences Sarcasm/teasing Exclusion / Ignoring Judging / criticism Invading personal space Undermining / not available Toxic email Accusing / blaming Public ridicule Intimidation

So.... Have you witnessed or experienced incivility, lateral violence or bullying in your practice environment? 90-95% of participants will raise their hand – this mirrors the literature

Have you spoken up to the perpetrator? Absolutely, “We don’t play like that on my unit” No, that’s just part of the culture; people need to get over it I used to, but nothing ever happened so I quit What?? Are you smoking crack??... I have to work here!!

Recent Research on New RN Experiences During first year of practice, novice nurses report: Undervaluing by team members Blocked learning opportunities Emotional neglect Being given too much responsibility without support Rude or humiliating comments

What is “reverse bullying”? “At the heart of "reverse bullying" is technology, because newer nurses are highly familiar with the latest gizmos. They are fast with tablets and they can navigate through an electronic health record [EHR] with ease. Younger nurses can bully older nurses by treating them as if their knowledge is antiquated, “washed up,” or out of step with the times. Older nurses can be excluded from social activities in the unit, made fun of for physician limitations, and ignored by the younger nurses”. (Greg Thompson) “Last week, I came out of my patient’s room. Several of the younger nurses were talking about a new product trial that was going to start the next day. I asked one of them about it, and she said, ‘You should have paid attention during the morning huddle. You might need to turn up your hearing aid battery.’ She walked away, laughing with one of the other nurses. I felt humiliated and embarrassed.”

Why Should You Care? Repeatedly compromising one’s integrity causes moral distress - research shows that nurses who experience burnout, more often than not feel like they haven’t been living up to their moral values. 80% of nurses who experience long term incivility will leave the organization. Cost of replacing a nurse is estimated at $65-$90k depending on specialty. Patient’s may pay the price – 67% nurses report a percieved link between bullying and adverse events (Rosenstein & Daniel, 2008). The cost of replacing a nurse has been estimated at $65k -$90k As Nurse Leaders– you are expected to be role models and help create a sense of team.

The Downstream Impact of Ignoring Incivility/Lateral Violence/Bullying The Price of Silence... The Downstream Impact of Ignoring Incivility/Lateral Violence/Bullying

The Price of Silence – Impact on the Organization Low staff morale Increased turnover Attendance issues Decreased productivity Decreased staff and patient satisfaction Negative impact on patient safety Decreases quality of care and unit effectiveness July 18, 2016

The Price of Silence – Impact on Nurses Decreased self-esteem Depression/Isolation Feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness Lack of connection to the organization Frequent illness/Sick Calls More likely to make errors July 18, 2016

So….Why don’t we speak up??

What Does the Research Say? Fear of retaliation – powerlessness These nurses are often the clinical experts and “Queen Bees” of the unit Don’t believe anything will change Don’t want to be ostracized No idea what to say – caught off guard 18

Everyone is accountable to zero tolerance! Organization Must have zero tolerance/focus on patient safety Clear policies/consequences Culture of high reliability behaviors Nurse Leaders Model desired behavior Assessment of the culture/address issues early Round on clinical staff Staff Nurses “If you permit it, you promote it” (Quint Studer) Understand and embrace generational differences Use Chain of Command Create a workplace where asking questions is valued Have a day when everyone brings a picture of themselves in nursing school Display the photos and see if people can be identified Have nurses pull clips from the headlines of the year they graduated from nursing school Have nurses tell stories from their early working days – some practices will be funny and antiquated Sharing stories makes everyone human and can be the glue – help create a team that sticks together.

ANA Code of Ethics With the granting of licensure nurses agree to uphold 9 non-negotiable ethical standards. Provision One (interpretive statement) Nurses are required to “create an ethical environment and culture of civility and kindness, treating colleagues, co-workers, employees, students, and others with dignity and respect.” Similarly, nurses must be afforded the same level of respect and dignity as others (ANA, 2015). Thus, the nursing profession will no longer tolerate violence of any kind. The Texas BON expects that nurses will know and conform to these ethical standards.

Resources/Tools ANA – multiple educational resources/toolkit AACN Position Statement on Zero Tolerance BON Standards of Professional Practice/UC Teaching/building resilience “Three Good Things” – gratitude exercise Brene Brown – Vulnerability TED talk (2010) Cognitive Rehearsal Techniques Talk a little about each of these

Behavior Non-Verbal Innuendo Eye rolling Making faces Sighing Response Cognitive Rehearsal Behavior Non-Verbal Innuendo Eye rolling Making faces Sighing Response “I sense (or see) that there may be something you wanted to say to me. It is okay to speak directly to me”

(blaming all that is wrong on one person) Response Cognitive Rehearsal Behavior Infighting Scapegoating (blaming all that is wrong on one person) Response “This is not the time or the place. Please stop” (walk away) “I don’t think that is the right connection”

Behavior Backstabbing Cognitive Rehearsal Behavior Backstabbing (complaining to others about an individual and not speaking directly to them) Response “I don’t feel right talking about him/her/situation when I wasn’t there or don’t know the facts. Have you spoken to him/her?”

Situations ripe for incivility/LV and bullying… Important for leaders and clinical nurses to be aware of the unit atmosphere. Be proactive dealing with: Newbies – young grads, 2nd career, returning to workforce Generational and educational differences Stressors caused by high turnover rates, staffing issues Energy vampires Shift riffs Cliques Many of our new nurses are second career or returning to the workforce nurses

Leaders – be proactive Don’t wait for this to happen on your unit. Remind yourself to be ABLE! A: Act now to address conflict, relational aggression B: Bolster your belief in all team members, and show that you believe they are talented, important and appreciated L: Lead through example. Role model the behavior you expect from staff. E: Expect excellence and empower your employees (Dellasega & Volpe, 2013)
