| Abstract: |
The article reports on the persistent issue of incivility in the nursing profession, drawing on stories from the "Moral Injury Among Nurses: Stories of Fractured Hearts and Wounded Souls" storybook to illustrate how such behaviors impact nurses' well-being and professional commitment. It highlights that incivility, ranging from dismissive comments to workplace violence, is a systemic problem rooted in power differentials and organizational culture, rather than solely an individual interaction issue. The text argues that effective solutions require interventions at the systems level, such as improved staffing, zero-tolerance policies, and cultural shifts, to address the root causes of these behaviors and support the nursing workforce.
