Sažetak

GOAL: To evaluate mobbing presence on all levels of the health system within nursing profession, and to
determine the mobbing exposure influence on work activities of the nurses.
METHODS: The research was done in Medical institutions of County of Split­ Croatia, and undertook 321
medical employees who worked as a nurse/ male nurse, chosen randomly.
The research was anonymous and was done using questionary, within the time period from July to September
2010.
Collected data was processed using program package SPSS.
RESULTS: Most of the examinees that declared themselves as a mobbing victims, were in the age group of
25­34 years. When observing sex representation, the presence of both sexes is equal, even though the
research included destinctively smaller number of male representatives in relation to female ones (5%: 95%).
The final result shows that nurses imployed in hospitals are most common mobbing victims; and most
common mobbers are colleagues hierarchicaly equal to victims, and a patients themselves.
None of the mobbing victims decided to report mobbing and, as most answers state, it is because of the belief
that nothing would change and there is no one they could turn to.
CONCLUSIONS: It is stated that only 43% of the examinees have never been exposed to mobbing, while the
other examinees are rare, occasional or frequent mobbing victims. The group that has been the least exposed
to mobbing are patronage nurses, which doen't come as a surprise when taking into concern that they are
independent employees who don't work closely with other nurses on daily basis. Nurses that are most exposed
to mobbing are ones employed in hospital, which is not an odd statement considering that the most common
mobbers are hierarchically equal nurses.
All of the examinees have been stated with having a negative influence of mobbing to working activities of the
nurses, and having insurmountable concequences on health, just as on increased absence of the examined
professional group.
