Background: Nurses are being called upon to fill the ever-increasing requirements of varying and expanding roles in different disciplines of nursing in healthcare. Incivility is a continuous problem in the healthcare system and the effect of incivility towards nursing students could have a significant impact on the nursing profession and subsequent shortage. Additionally, it can undermine the integrity of nursing education and could affect future nurses entering the profession. It is therefore vital for the emergence of new theories regarding incivility. Without a doubt, incivility is prominent in the healthcare system, and theories need to be developed so that there can be solutions for the eradication of incivility in the clinical setting. Purpose: The purpose of this qualitative grounded theory study was to explore and understand the experiences of undergraduate nursing students in dealing with incivility in the clinical setting. Philosophical Underpinnings: This study was guided by two philosophical underpinnings, symbolic interactionism, and pragmatism. Method: The researcher utilized a classical grounded theory approach focusing on the Glasserian Model. This approach uses a systematic set of procedures to develop an inductively derived theory from data (Glaser, 1978). A total of 32 participants were interviewed face-to-face and was audio-taped recorded. Seven participants were in the focus group to include individuals completing a Master's degree in Nursing and 25 for individuals who were completing Associate and Baccalaureate Degrees in Nursing. These individuals were recruited by flyers posted at strategic points after permission from the deans, chairperson, and directors of nursing on the campuses of colleges and universities in South Florida. Results: The core category that emerged from the data is "The Inhibiting Actions Theory." The major categories are "Disrespecting," "Intimidating," and "Undermining." Conclusion: "The Inhibiting Actions" is the theoretical framework that emerged from this study. This framework explains nursing students' perceptions of incivility and their attitudes and behaviors towards this phenomenon. This hopefully will add to the body of nursing education by highlighting information about the clinical experiences of nursing students in Undergraduate Programs in South Florida.
