Abstract
Incivility is a well-documented issue in the nursing profession that begins in nursing education and follows graduates into nursing practice. Nursing academia has a responsibility to address incivility to prevent inappropriate behaviors from becoming embedded into the culture. The problem addressed in this quality improvement project is incivility among nursing students at a private college. The purpose of this project was to apply evidence-based incivility interventions to address uncivil behaviors of nursing students. The hypothesis was that the implementation of a civility mentor module and professionalism guide would impact perceived incivility among nursing students. The project was conducted using the social cognitive theory of self-efficacy. The Incivility in Nursing Education-Revised © (INE-R) survey was used to measure students perceived incivility before and after implementation of the incivility interventions. The data was analyzed using a paired t-test. The results showed a significant correlation between the incivility interventions and perceived incivility indicating that the interventions impacted incivility. The results from this project contribute to the existing body of knowledge that support the need for evidence-based incivility interventions in nursing education.
