Identifying Research Methodologies in Clinical Inquiry

Clinical issues significantly impact the quality of care, health providers’ well-being, patient safety, and service delivery. Workplace incivility, characterized by disrespect and discourteous actions among employees, is prevalent in nursing practice and can profoundly affect confidence, interprofessional collaboration, teamwork, and productivity if left unchecked. Moreover, it adversely affects psychological well-being, leading to anxiety, burnout, and high job turnover rates. Effective management of nursing incivility is crucial to enhancing and promoting quality care and patient safety. The following matrix worksheet presents four research articles addressing nursing incivility in the workplace.
