Aggressive behavior in the workplace – experiences of young nurses: preliminary study

Early-career nurses frequently encounter workplace aggression, primarily in the form of horizontal aggression associated with adultism and stress, which significantly reduces their job satisfaction. The most commonly reported forms of aggression include workplace obstruction, lack of support, insults, and shouting. Implementing conflict management training, psychological support programs, and mentoring initiatives can substantially improve working conditions and reduce staff turnover.
