Title: The Effect of Bullying on Burnout in Nurses: The Moderating Role of Psychological Detachment
Abstract
Horizontal violence, or workplace bullying of nurses, remains a serious problem for the nursing profession. But while bullying remains a serious issue for all nurses in all workplaces, all nurses are individuals and experience the phenomenon in psychologically complex and distinct ways. This study attempted to discern the extent to which psychological detachment from the situation could act as a buffer for the nurse in protecting her against the stressors of negative judgements and pressures.
Introduction
Bullying is a serious issue within all professions, but the nursing profession in particular has been notorious for the phenomenon of nurses “eating their young,” or subjecting new and younger members of the profession to psychological stress and bullying. In this study by Allen, Holland, & Reynolds (2015), the researchers attempted to discern the extent to which a specific psychological phenomenon, that of psychological detachment, acted as a moderating influence upon the negative impact of bullying in the workplace. Psychological detachment is defined as the ability to detach one’s self from the work situation, if not physically, then through psychological strategies.
Statement of the Problem

Peer-Reviewed Nursing Articles The study by Van Oostveen, Mathijssen and Vermeulen (2015) is characterized as qualitative because its primary objective was to obtain more “in-depth insight” into the experiences and perceptions of nurses regarding nurse overwork. This is a regular aspect of qualitative studies: they do not seek to test a hypothesis or identify a correlation among variables but rather to better understand a phenomenon or gain insight into the subjective
Stress Management in the Caregiver Setting An increasing body of evidence points to the intensity of the labor involved in caring, and the impact it has on the caregiver in a healthcare setting. Whether lay or professional, it seems that the potential for suffering among caregivers is enormous. When a person reaches a state of physical, emotional or mental exhaustion, burnout occurs, and it appears to affect both lay and professional
Violence MORE THAN A BRAWL A long-standing epidemic, which is recognized and addressed after 25 years, may be as serious as the diseases, which the healthcare industry has been zealously combating. It is called lateral violence or LV. It is hostility in both verbal and physical forms dealt by nurses upon fellow nurses under them, on the same level and among themselves. Six authors discuss its causes, forms, frequency, the victims,
