Sexual harassment in the workplace: nurses' perceptions.
This study examined the perceptions of nurses and nursing administrators of various types of sexual harassment. It also investigated the differences in the perceptions based on gender, previous harassment, and position. Significant differences in perceptions of sexual harassment were found according to types of harassment, gender, position, and sensitivity from prior harassment. These results can inform the educators and supervisors about where the message about harassment is not getting through strongly enough, and help them to focus their training efforts.
