The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in profound changes within our healthcare system. Now more than ever, nurses are being challenged with a barrage of never-ending stressors: continued patient surges, new disease variants, high patient acuity, increased job demands, and continued staffing and PPE shortages. High levels of stress and burnout coupled with the unpredictable nature of the pandemic, have created an environment that is ripe for burnout, workplace bullying, and incivility.

Regardless of what health care speciality you work in, there will be a time when you’re confronted by someone who’s aggressive, angry, or noncompliant, whether a patient, a patient’s family member, or someone else entirely.

De-escalating tense situations can be difficult, especially if you aren’t prepared to do so.

Don't start the conversation with a test they might fail along with your hurt feelings when they do fail. Just say your name and who you are.
