Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study are to understand the meaning and essential structure of clinical nurses' experiences of verbal violence and find nursing intervention for them by applying phenomenological research method. Methods: The participants in this study were seven clinical nurses with experience of verbal violence. Data collection were conducted from August 2016 through January 2017 until data saturation. Data analysis was performed through a cyclical process of data collection and analysis by applying Giorgi's phenomenological method. Results: Four categories were identified: A weapon of the mind: the shock of verbal abuse; negative emotions that shake my heart; skepticism about the value and meaning of a job; an unforgettable wound. Conclusions: The results of this study provide a deeper understanding of the pain caused by verbal violence experienced by nurses from their care recipients. These results suggest that nursing interventions for nurses with experience of verbal violence will contribute to resolving the problem.
