Background/Purpose: This study investigated the nurses’ experiences working in hospitals in Turkiye with uncivil behaviors. Methods: The sample of this descriptive study consisted of 408 nurses who were reached online. Data were collected using a structured data collection form, which included demographic and descriptive information about the participants and the Nursing Incivility Scale. Results: Among the participants, 68.6% were female, 51.7% were aged between 26-35 years, and 70.6% were single. The mean score of the Nursing Incivility Scale was 137.17 ± 30.31. Statistical analysis showed that variables such as the nurses’ work unit, parental status, perception of the value of their profession, workplace challenges, stress levels, professional support from colleagues, satisfaction (both material and professional) with their profession, intention of leaving their profession, and levels of professional burnout significantly influenced their experiences of incivility (p 0.05). Conclusion: Nurses reported a high frequency of encounters with incivility. It is recommended to develop professional adaptation training programs specifically for nurses and implement periodic rotations between units and organize training sessions focused on fostering a healthy working environment to raise nurses’ awareness of workplace civility and incivility.
