INDIANAPOLIS—Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing’s (Sigma) latest title,
Core Competencies of Civility in Nursing & Healthcare, provides practical solutions to create and sustain communities of civility, diversity,
inclusion, and respect in academic and healthcare environments.
Author Cynthia Clark, PhD, RN, ANEF, FAAN, uses evidence-based interventions, hands-on tools, and scholarly resources to expand the current thinking on the topic of civility to create and support healthy, productive work and learning environments. Core Competencies of Civility in Nursing & Healthcare seeks to present a compelling case for mastering civility competencies, illuminating individually focused civility competencies, and highlighting organizationally focused competencies using the Pathway for Fostering Organizational Civility©.
“Incivility is an issue that, to some extent, impacts everyone. In healthcare, however, the issue is particularly critical because incivility and other forms of aggression can result in life-threatening mistakes, preventable complications, near misses, and patient harm,” said Cynthia Clark. “Therefore, it is imperative for those in the nursing profession to raise awareness about the importance of fostering civility and sustaining healthy work and learning environments.”
