Abstract

The aim was to synthesize the scientific production regarding the practice of psychological harassment in the ambit
of Nursing, in periodicals available online, in the period January 2005 – November 2012. This is an integrative review of the
literature, undertaken using the following databases: the Latin American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences Information,
the Spanish Bibliographic Index on Health Sciences, and the International Literature in Health Sciences. The analysis of 15
articles revealed that the prevalence of the practice of psychological harassment in Nursing has grown significantly, particularly
among female workers. The investigations showed that psychological harassment entails serious consequences for the worker’s
health, most of which are of a psychological nature. Thus, the need is verified for creating proposals for the prevention and even
elimination of this practice.
