Whereas, Havaei (2020) mentions that since patients do not know how to express their emotions it might lead to violent and aggressive attacks on their nurses"(p. 2).

According to various studies, possible causes of bullying may include the following:[15][16][17] Workplace incivility can have a tremendous impact on the quality of nursing care.

Hierarchical violence involves frequent, intentional humiliating and destructive actions toward a person.

Researchers have found out that 13% of missed workdays are because of workplace violence and how it could affect the quality of care that the patients are getting.
