Lateral violence is an act of aggression perpetrated by one colleague toward another. The detrimental impact on the individual, the team and the work environment can have serious consequences for patient safety. This session identifies multiple strategies to prevent and stop lateral violence. The strategies correlate to four of AACN’s HWE Standards: Skilled Communication, True Collaboration, Meaningful Recognition and Authentic Leadership.

Objectives

  • Explain how lateral violence manifests itself in the nursing profession.
  • Discuss evidence-based methods of negotiating conflict-laden situations.
  • Identify strategies to intervene in lateral violence—whether you are the victim or a bystander.
