摘要
Objective: The objective of this review was to synthesize the qualitative literature on the experience of upwards violence in nursing workplaces directed towards nurse leaders who have authority over those who direct the violence towards them. Introduction: Workplace violence has impacted nursing work life for decades. It has been studied mostly from a downwards and lateral perspective and less often from an upwards direction towards individuals in leadership positions. Little is known about the experiences of nurse leaders or the potential consequences of workplace violence, including what impact upwards violence has on leadership ability and sustainability. Inclusion criteria: This review considered qualitative studies that included nurse leaders who experienced upwards violence in nursing workplaces from nurses they supervise. Nurse leaders were registered nurses or advanced practice nurses employed in a position where they supervised other nursing personnel (eg, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, nurse practitioners, student nurses). The positions held by nurse leaders included all roles (eg, nurse manager, clinical nurse specialist, nurse practitioner, nursing professor) where the position included supervising other nursing personnel. Methods: The search strategy aimed to find both published and unpublished studies in English from 2000. The search was first conducted in January 2019 and rerun in June 2020. The databases searched included CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and Embase. To ensure full coverage, databases not specific to the nursing profession, but with potential content on upwards violence, were also searched for examples of upwards violence against nurse leaders. These databases were ABI/INFORM, Sociological Abstracts, LexisNexis Academic, Scopus, and Web of Science. The search for unpublished studies included ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, Google Scholar, OpenGrey Repository, Health Business Elite, and Factiva. Papers meeting the inclusion criteria were appraised by two independent reviewers for methodological quality using the JBI critical appraisal checklist for qualitative research. Data extraction was conducted according to the standardized data extraction tool from JBI. The qualitative research findings were pooled using the JBI method of meta-aggregation. Results: Six papers were included in the review yielding a total of 50 findings and nine categories. The categories were aggregated to form three synthesized findings: i) Physical, psychological, financial, and quality-of-work toll of upwards bullying: paying a high price; ii) Coping with violence alone; and iii) What happened to me? My take on the violence. The ConQual scores were low to moderate. Conclusion: The synthesized findings reveal that nurse leaders' experiences of upwards workplace violence is a troublesome problem that leads to a negative impact on physical and psychological health, and creates a cost in terms of time, money, and efficacy of the workplace.
