Abstract
As the cultural dynamics within our world are rapidly changing, the need to maintain a sense of civility is essential. Academic incivility is occurring at an alarming rate in higher education and is undermining nursing education and practice. The purpose of this research project was to identify if nursing students perceived awareness of uncivil behaviors was altered after attending an educational session on incivility. A quantitative, quasi-experimental, pre post study was conducted with nursing students in the third semester of an Associate Degree Nursing program. Although the paired t-test did not find statistical significance, awareness of the problem became evident. Nineteen student nurses from a small community college in the Midwest participated in this study. Continued research is warranted to identify approaches to increase awareness of incivility and in minimizing these behaviors for the future of our nursing profession.
