Abstract

Behavior Clinical outcomes College students Colleges & universities Education Generation X Learning Millennials Nontraditional students
The concept of incivility in education is not new; however, it has generated much discussion at national conferences, faculty meetings, and in the press. What is disturbing to some nursing educators is the frequency of incivility being witnessed in daily encounters by faculty who teach students in the classroom, in clinical settings, and on-line. If these behaviors are not addressed during the educational process, they can easily transcend to health care environments. Workplace incivility has been described in the literature as having detrimental effects on nursing units and may possibly lead to adverse clinical outcomes. As a profession, nursing has always been nurturing and supportive in nature. This growing trend in uncivil behavior has led faculty to be guarded in their interactions with students, in turn leading to what can be perceived as unwillingness of the faculty to reach out to students. Preventing and predicting incivility will be examined in this article along with suggestions for faculty development and policy generation. Case studies followed by practical and legal analysis focusing on incivility in three teaching arenas will be explored. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
