Summary

This meta-analysis found that the prevalence of lateral violence (bullying and aggression between nurses) is high in healthcare workplaces, with significant regional and cultural variation in reported rates. The study identified a lack of standardized assessment tools as a major limitation in comparing prevalence across countries. While unrelated to microplastics, the study was included in environmental health databases due to its systematic review methodology.

Study Type Review

The prevalence of inter-nurse LV is high in nurse workplace. It is suggested that scholars pay more attention to the cultural differences of inter-nurse LV between regions in the future. This study has the following limitations: there is a lack of studies on LV prevalence in many countries; lack of standard assessment tools; no grey literature was searched.
