What is Health Personnel

In this chapter, the authors comprehensively evaluate the phenomenon of bullying among healthcare workers, along with its prevalence, causes, and consequences. Bullying, which tends to become widespread in society, also seriously affects health institutions and healthcare workers. The high prevalence of bullying in the healthcare sector indicates that it is a problem that needs to be taken into account in organizational life. It is known that bullying in healthcare workers negatively affects both organizations and the victim. Bullying in the healthcare sector has a negative impact not only on the professional and personal lives of healthcare professionals, but also on the quality and scope of patient care provided. Therefore, it is important for authorities to review manpower, workplace design, policies, and organizational structures to identify factors that encourage bullying. In order to control this social phenomenon, there is a need to raise awareness about workplace bullying and to develop and implement prevention programs.
