Overview

Conceptual review reveals pervasive sexual harassment and health harms in nurses, highlighting the need for multi-level organizational interventions.

Key Points

To analyze the dynamics and mechanisms of sexual harassment targeting nurses, its consequences on clinician health and care delivery, and potential multi-level intervention targets.
Narrative conceptual review synthesizing existing evidence on the prevalence, power structures, and health consequences of workplace sexual harassment in healthcare.
Theoretical modeling of the behavioral and organizational processes that facilitate harassment through the exploitation of routine clinical touch and caring obligations.
Harassment stems primarily from institutionalized power and status imbalances rather than purely sexual motivations.
Perpetrators exploit routine bodily contact and professional caring expectations inherent to nursing roles, producing psychological morbidity, physical distress, and compromised patient care.
Effective risk mitigation requires targeted structural interventions operating simultaneously at individual and organizational levels.
