Description

In this comprehensive, fully revised third edition of the award-winning Creating & Sustaining Civility in Nursing Education, author Cynthia Clark expands her proven, results-focused approach to preventing and addressing the problem of incivility. This guide includes practical, evidence-based solutions that range from principles for broad-based institutional changes to ready-to-use teaching tools and strategies to promote and maintain civility, community, and respect in today's highly charged work and learning environments.

Considering recent changes in higher education in general and nursing education specifically, expanded areas of focus in this new edition include:

- Online teaching and learning environments

- The contentious political climate and campus unrest

- The costs and consequences of incivility

- Principled leadership and organizational change

- An emphasis on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging

- Virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and academic integrity

- Trauma-informed teaching and learning

- The nexus of civility and foundational standards for safe, inclusive, and healthy work and learning environments

This informative, timely book is brimming with ideas and resources to equip faculty, students, and nurse leaders with strategies-including role-modeling and mentoring, well-being and self care, cognitive rehearsal, and positive learning environments-to successfully address civility challenges in the nursing field.

"This book helps us understand why civility matters-for student learning and development and for educator effectiveness and satisfaction-and the impact of incivility on everyone, not only the individual who is the target of these behaviors. Cindy Clark guides us in creating and sustaining a healthy academic work environment and presents the research and evidence for why this is important and how to accomplish it. This is a must-read book for everyone involved in educating students and other learners to promote civility, inclusion, and respect for others."

"Dr. Clark emphasizes the importance of civility in nursing education. I read and used her previous book on civility in nursing education for my doctorate, and this new book provides a comprehensive description and management of civility-incivility from the perspectives of faculty, staff, and students in nursing education."
