\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 March 3, 2009 \u2013 A worker who feels slighted withholds information from a colleague, slowing down a project and creating resentment. A younger member of the team asks a question of a more seasoned staffer, and the more experienced individual rolls his eyes or sighs loudly.\tAdd to those problems the common gossiping and backstabbing in any work environment and it\u2019s a wonder any work gets done.<\/p>\n


\n\tBut when these behaviors occur among nurses, they can have dire results for patients and can demoralize even the most optimistic members of a nursing staff.<\/p>\n


\n\tThat\u2019s why the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s College of Nursing is hosting the conference, \u201cEnding Horizontal Violence, Creating a Culture of Cohesion Among Nurses,\u201d April 29 through May 1 at the Westin Hotel, Providence.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe Joint Commission, the primary agency for accrediting hospitals and other health care agencies, mandated that leaders must address disruptive behavior at all levels of health care organizations. The commission\u2019s expectation is that leaders will put in place strategies this year to address disruptive behaviors.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cThat language gave us the impetus to plan a national conference on the issues,\u201d said 溏心vlog免费B站 Professor of Nursing Patricia Burbank. \u201cWe know that these types of behaviors are not unique to nursing, but they are associated with patient safety and nurse dissatisfaction. It is a big issue because of the intensity and complexity of the environment. None of us act our best when we\u2019re stressed.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cWe have nurses coming from all over the country, as well as Canada, Turkey and Australia.\u201d

\nSince 2006 when it received an anonymous gift to address what is called horizontal violence, 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s College of Nursing has been focusing on critical workplace issues for nurses, most notably how to develop an environment of trust, cooperation and mutual respect.<\/p>\n


\nThe College awarded mini-grants to Westerly, Butler, Rhode Island, The Miriam and Eleanor Slater hospitals, to study the issues.<\/p>\n


\nThe conference\u2019s keynote speech will be given, Wednesday, April 29 from 1 to 2:15 p.m. by Kathleen Bartholomew, author of Ending Nurse-to-Nurse Hostility: Why Nurses Eat Their Young and Each Other.<\/p>\n


\nBefore turning to health care as a career in 1994, Bartholomew held positions in marketing, business, communications and teaching. Those experiences allowed her to look at nursing from a different perspective and to talk about issues that affect nurses today. A registered nurse with a master\u2019s degree in nursing, she has been a national speaker for the nursing profession for the past six years. As the manager of 57-bed surgical unit in Seattle, Bartholomew quickly recognized that creating a culture where staff felt a sense of belonging was critical to retention.<\/p>\n


\nFor her master\u2019s thesis, she wrote, Speak Your Truth: Proven Strategies for Effective Nurse-Physician Communication, the only book to date that addresses physician-nurse issues.<\/p>\n


\nIn her 2006 book, Ending Nurse to Nurse Violence, she offers the first comprehensive and compassionate look at horizontal violence. She said statistics demonstrate that 60 percent of new grads leave their first position within six months because of some form of lateral violence.

\nIn addition to Bartholomew\u2019s presentation, talks will be given by:<\/p>\n


\n\u2022 Gerald Farrell, head of the School of Nursing at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia, Wednesday April 29, 2:30 to 3:30 p.m., \u201cHorizontal Violence: Examining Theories and Underlying Causes.\u201d He is author of the book, Aggression: A Nurses Guide to Therapeutic Management, as well as many articles, including Horizontal Violence: Examining Theories and Underlying Causes.<\/p>\n


\n\u2022 Martha Griffin of the Boston Medical Center, who earned her doctorate in nursing from 溏心vlog免费B站, Thursday, April 30 from 9:15 to 10:45 a.m., \u201cReducing Horizontal Violence; Organizational, Unit and Individual Nurses.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\u2022 Laurie M. Lauzon Clabo, 溏心vlog免费B站 associate dean of nursing, Thursday, April 30, 11 a.m. to noon, \u201cReducing Horizontal Violence: Unit Level Interventions.\u201d<\/p>\n
