Scholarship – How Nursing Faculty Experience the Effects of Workplace Incivility – Part I

This episode of the NLN Nursing EDge Unscripted Scholarship track is part one of two featuring guests Lynne Porter Lewallen and Jayme Trocino Sherrod. The discussion centers on workplace incivility in nursing academia, exploring its effects on the physical and psychological health of nursing faculty. The guests highlight the lack of diversity in their sample and the broader implications for understanding incivility across different demographic groups. They introduce the theoretical framework used in their study, which views workplace incivility as a form of professional trauma. The episode also addresses the historical roots of incivility in nursing and the need for actionable strategies to change the culture in academic settings.Learn more about Dr. Lewallen's and Dr. Sherrod's work, How Nursing Faculty Experience the Effects of Workplace Incivility.Sherrod, J.
