Nursing Professional Development Anti-Bullying Project

This article describes a nursing professional development, evidence-based intervention project addressing the significant problem of bullying in the nursing workplace. The project entailed a 9-week, multitiered approach to teach behaviors to combat bullying and create the self-efficacy to do so. Results demonstrated statistically significant t-test comparisons of pre- and postsurvey measures, supporting the clinical question that empowerment and perceptual change drove individual and group behavior to confront bullying and create a positive culture shift.
