Prevalence and Determinants of Academic Bullying Among Junior Doctors in Sierra Leone: Cross-Sectional Study
Academic bullying is widespread among junior doctors at the University of Sierra Leone Teaching Hospitals Complex. It has serious consequences for their mental health and professional development. There is an urgent need for clear and culturally appropriate policies, targeted training programs, confidential reporting systems, and leadership development. Promoting ethical leadership and fostering a culture of respect can help reduce incivility and burnout, leading to a healthier work environment for junior doctors.
