abstract="AIMS: To examine prevalence of bullying among nurses and explore associations of organizational betrayal and support with well-being among nurses exposed to bullying. <br><br>BACKGROUND: Bullying is a problem in many nursing workplaces, and organizations have an obligation to support nurses who are bullied. Support or betrayal after bullying could affect nurse well-being, including burnout. <br><br>METHODS: In this cross-sectional study among U.S. nurses, data were collected in a survey using the Negative Acts Questionnaire-Revised for Nursing, the Institutional Betrayal Questionnaire for Health, the Well-Being Index, a job satisfaction scale and demographic questions. <br><br>RESULTS: Prevalence of weekly/daily bullying was 31% (N = 242). Among nurses exposed to any bullying (N = 173), organizational betrayal increased odds of burnout (OR 2.62, p=.02), job dissatisfaction (OR 2.97, p=.04), and absenteeism (OR 6.11, p<.001). Organizational support decreased odds of job dissatisfaction (OR 0.30, p=.001) and absenteeism (OR 0.50, p=.04). <br><br>CONCLUSION: Analysis of study findings suggests organizational betrayal increases likelihood of burnout, job dissatisfaction, and absenteeism, and support decreases likelihood of dissatisfaction and absenteeism. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nurse leaders should be aware of the issue of organizational betrayal and support in relation to well-being. Future studies can further explore the concepts of betrayal and support to provide additional evidence.<br><br>© 2019 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
