  MJW is inversely related to perceived incivility \[Rutledge et al, 2018\]

  Dec 2021 - Dec 2022

• Nursing staff in high-stress levels clinical areas and high sense of urgency (e.g., critical care and the emergency department (ED))

Eligibility Criteria

• Sex: all
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

A power analysis using the G\*Power 3.1 \[1\] indicated that a total sample of 84 people would be needed to detect a medium effect (Cohen's ρ= 0.30) with 80% power using exact correlation-difference from constant (one sample case) with alpha at 0.05. We plan to enroll 105 people to account for the 20% attrition rate (Faul, Erdfelder, Buchner, \& Lang, 2009). Participants will be asked to respond online to a questionnaire launched via Survey Monkey® and provide demographic information and information related to coping, perceived meaning, joy, and horizontal civility at work.

You may qualify if:

• The sample of participants will include all willing individuals who are registered nurses (full time, part time, and per-diem) or nursing para-professionals employed by MHS and working at the MDMC, MCMC, MLMC, or MMMC campuses.
• Provide direct patient care for more than 50% of work hours.
• All participants must be able to read and understand English.

You may not qualify if:

• Excluded from the study will be employees who do not provide direct patient care for at least 50% of the time, educators, managers, leaders, advanced practice nurses, and non-nursing service personnel.
