Sexual harassment of nursing students.
This article reports the findings of 21 subjects, a subset of 277 subjects, who experienced some form of sexual harassment while enrolled in a nursing program. The physical and emotional effects of the experience on academic performance and subsequent relationships are described. Support systems used by students at the time of the experience are identified. Only a small number of subjects reported the experience to persons in academic authority. These subjects also reported that no legal or academic sanctions were imposed on the faculty members.
