According to Blackstock, Harlos and Hardy (2015) “Workplace bullying refers to repeated behaviors by members of an organization that are offensive, including “intensity often increases with a perceived intent to harm” (p. 1107). ). When you provide care, at any level, you take an oath to do no harm and agree to act in accordance with the facility's mission statement. According to the Code of Ethics for Registered Nurses (2008), under the Promoting Justice section, this idea is clearly stated in the statement "Nurses shall refrain from judging, labeling, degrading, stigmatizing and humiliating behaviors towards people receiving care, other health care. professionals and among themselves” (p.17). Another point reinforcing this point is written under the heading Being Accountable: “Nurses are honest and practice with integrity in all their professional interactions” (p. 18). It is important that all nurses take their professional responsibility seriously and follow the code of ethics. Nurses who witness the bully's actions and fail to report it are also failing in their own responsibility to their peers and patients. Staff have a professional obligation to maintain a safe working environment for themselves, their colleagues and especially their patients. Reporting a coworker or nurse can be stressful and overwhelming, increasing vulnerability to additional attention from the bully and becoming the target of their behavior. Research has determined that bullying harms the physical and psychological well-being of victims (Katrinli, Atabay, Gunay, and Cangarli 2010). The damage caused by bullying goes deeper than the surface, as it can have widespread and ongoing impacts on staff relationships and patient confidence in the safety of the medical system to ensure a compassionate quality of life.
