Perceived negative acts and emotional well-being in healthcare education at a Hispanic-serving institution: a cross-sectional study

A study conducted at a Hispanic-serving institution on the U.S.: Mexico border investigated the prevalence of perceived negative acts (NAs) among healthcare students and their correlation with emotional well-being and demographic characteristics. NAs include work-related bullying, person-related bullying, and physical intimidation. The research utilized the NA Questionnaire-Revised (NAQ-R) to assess these behaviors.

Understanding the prevalence and impact of negative acts within educational settings, particularly in healthcare, is crucial for maintaining a healthy learning environment and ensuring the well-being of future professionals. This directly influences the quality of education and the mental health of students, which are foundational for workforce readiness and retention.

The study aimed to assess self-reported negative acts (NAs) and emotional well-being among healthcare students.
