Design: Scoping review.
Methods: Only full-text primary research papers published in English between 1990–2019 were included in the scoping review. Freely accessible and licensed databases (CINAHL, EBSCOhost, Web of Science, Scopus, ProQuest, and Wiley online Library) were used to retrieve information.
Results: The scoping review indicated that mobbing is a frequently researched phenomenon, in particular over the previous ten years. General nurses are a group acutely at risk of mobbing. Mobbed nurses show serious physical and mental health disorders. Higher levels of anxiety and depression were reported. As a result of mobbing, labor productivity decreases, sickness rates increase, and nurses’ personal lives are disrupted.
Conclusion: Mobbing is a society-wide negative phenomenon that influences individuals’ working and personal lives, has a negative impact on individuals’ health, and concurrently has a negative impact on the operations of the organizations occurs. Prevention would appear to be the most effective means of counteracting mobbing.
