Abstract
The aim was to evaluate the studies that address the occurrence of bullying in the nursing practice environment during the care of COVID-19 patients. This is an integrative review, covering the period from January 2020 to December 2021, through the combination of the descriptors bullying/bullying “AND” nursing/nursing “AND” COVID-19/COVID -19. Sixteen studies were identified, four of which met the inclusion criteria. Studies show the exposure of professionals to acts of bullying related to COVID-19 care protocols and acts performed by other health professionals and patients affected by COVID-19. The studies selected in the review present acts of bullying such as censorship, reprimand and violence experienced by nursing professionals during the care of patients affected by COVID-19.
