Abstract
AIMS: To review both mental and physical health consequences of bullying for healthcare employees. DESIGN: Systematic literature review. DATA SOURCES: EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, PUBMED and Web of Science Core Collection were searched for articles published between 2005 - January 2017. REVIEW METHODS: This review was conducted using the framework described by Khan and reported using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. Two independent reviewers performed systematic data extraction and appraised the methodological quality of included articles. A pooled mean prevalence of bullying was estimated. RESULTS: Forty-five papers met inclusion criteria. Bullying prevalence ranged from 3.9% to 86.5%, with a pooled mean estimate of 26.3%. Perceived bullying was associated with mental health problems including psychological distress, depression and burnout, and physical health problems including insomnia and headache. Bullied staff took more sick leave. CONCLUSION: Bullying occurs frequently amongst healthcare staff and is deleterious to health and occupational functionality.
