Empirical Analysis With Legislative Solutions of Workplace Cyberbullying

Abstract

World Health Organization (WHO) calls for 2.5 nurses per 1000 people in the national health-care system. The total available nurses per 1,000 persons in Pakistan is 0.604, far less than the WHO standards. Pakistan is among 57 countries facing a crisis in Human Resource for Health (HRH). Apart from other social issues, cyber-bullying has further affected the participation of female nurses in health-care jobs. The issue of cyberbullying is silently draining female participation in nursing jobs. Moreover, the issue of bullying is not often raised because of moral, ethical, and social issues related to the reporting and remedial system. Therefore, the article sets to examine the credibility of the available remedial system, the issues involved with reporting the issue of cyberbullying, and the manner to improve the response against the issue of cyberbullying with reference to young female nurses. To construct the arguments, the study will examine the issue of cyber-bullying related to female nurses at statistical and legislative levels.
