Abstract :

Disruptive behavior has and will continue to be and issue in nursing until it is it is made aware of and the staff is educated on the behavavior. Disruptive behavior has plague the nursing area for years to the point that nursing students are learning about a healthy work place enviorment. Nursing has had several article on the subject but the issue continue to be prevaent within the work enviroment. The Unit that I currently work on has tactle the issue with surveys and frank conversation on the matter. The issue continues because nurses continue to have fear of retaliation and no management surpport. To have a decrease and/or irraticate this issue it has to address. This was handle with the use of sacred word, sacred person, when all else failed the mediation took place. The units disruptive behavior has deminish and management has less to no consuling on behavior. I have develop a guideline for the unit for assuring that this will be a way of decreasing and elemenating disruptive behavoir.
