Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine to what extent, healthcare practitioners in ICU worry about Workplace bullying (WPB)
and whether it affects the quality of care and patient safety from their perception. The behaviors of individuals as well as some
elements of their personality emerge the phenomenon and contribute to it becoming more intense. Interventions, therefore, aim
to change perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors, i.e. the way in which individuals perceive and approach their work. They should
also aim to educate individuals so that they respect the personality and accept the diversity of their colleagues, resist manipulation,
respect themselves and dare to do self-criticism. For this reason, it should investigate the reasons that cause it in a workplace
and review those characteristics of the organization’s functioning that directly or indirectly favor its existence. Researches have
highlighted the positive effects of replacing authoritarian management and regular confrontation with employees with a form of
management based on the principles of cooperation, meritocracy, and practical interest in the needs of individuals and the team as
a whole. The intervention of competent bodies in the ICU and in every professional sector of the hospital is considered necessary
to address the problem, as individual solutions usually lead to the victim’s submission or removal or leaving the perpetrator in
the workplace and the continuation of unacceptable behavior of. Such solutions succeed in protecting the victim but fail in the
administration of justice.
