This course also provides you with the opportunity to explore in depth lateral-violence in the workplace, a pressing issue in the nursing environment. This assignment provides you with increased skills in how to research topics in the library, make sure you have an understanding of peer-reviewed journals, allow for continued skill development in APA format, and the ability to more finely hone your scholarly paper writing.
Background: One issue in Nursing is a paradox: Nursing is known as a caring profession, yet, it is not uncommon to find lateral violence among nurses in the workplace. Embree and White (2010) presented a literature review that analyzed this concept of lateral violence. Sheridan-Leos (2008) identified four theories as to why lateral violence occurs and described the effects of lateral violence. She shared actions that others have recommended to stop lateral violence. Sauer (2011) identified that 25 years of attempts made to eradicate this phenomena in Nursing have not been successful. She presented a case study to demonstrate the extent of the problem.
Instructions: For this assignment, locate these three articles (use the electronic search engines with the Shapiro Library. Articles should be available to you and free). Search for two more articles related to lateral violence in Nursing. Based on the three articles and on the additional articles you found, answer the following question: Who should be responsible for eliminating lateral violence in the nursing workplace? State your position clearly in the thesis statement and use the content in the articles to defend your position.
To be able to answer the question in this assignment, you will have to examine the information presented in the articles, analyze the arguments of each author, weigh the pros and cons of each claim, and decide where you stand on the issue. We will be looking at your ability to integrate and synthesize the articles into a scholarly paper. The body of the paper should be 5-7 pages (not including the title page, abstract, and reference page). The reference page should include the three articles given, plus at least two other peer-reviewed articles you have searched, giving a minimum of 5 sources, but no more than 7 sources.
Resources to help you to be successful in writing scholarly papers, including writing and APA lectures, Scholarly Paper Guidelines, and Shapiro Library guides, are available in the Research/Writing tab in the Blackboard course room. Guidelines are posted in the Start here tab in the document: Resources for all Nursing and Healthcare Professions Courses. Please see the Written Paper Rubric for details of how your paper will be graded.
