Utilizing the Social-Ecological Model in addressing bullying, by describing the application of SEM to the four buckets (Truth, Wisdom, Courage, and Renewal) of the Civility Tool-kit, serving as a comprehensive, cohesive, and integrated solution to support, create, and sustain cultures of civility and respect in the healthcare organization/environment. Educating individuals to be civil when environments are not supportive can be ineffective, making sustainable behavioral change elusive. Emerging evidence and anecdotal reports suggest leaders’ conscientiousness in implementing comprehensive, cohesive, and integrated bullying prevention and intervention programs is critical to promote environments of respect, and enhance sustainability of cultures of civility (Cleary, Hunt, & Horsfall, 2010; McNamara, 2012). With a grounded understanding of the scientific etiologies of bullying and the potential solutions to the issues, the civility tool-kit employs the social ecological model (SEM) as a framework to mitigate the complex, and multiple influence etiologies of bullying. This is for workplace bullying, not for K-12 schools.

Professional
Prerequisite Knowledge or Skills:
This is written at the college level with complex terms and sentences. A general understanding of models is helpful.
Content Quality
Rating:
Strengths:
The Social-Ecological Model model has been used extensively in the past.
Information is from the Robrert Woods Johnson Foundation Executive Nurse Fellows program, which is a reliable program. The content validity and acuracy are still applicable even though this was published in 2012. However, many references were over 10 years old.
Bullying still occurs, especially in the emergency room setting. The content covers the tool-kit, which provides a systematic approach to the appropriate level of intervention, timing of intervention, and focus of the intervention.
This is a research-based method of presenting solutions to the workplace bullying problem.
Potential Effectiveness as a Teaching Tool
Rating:
Strengths:
The potential for knowledge growth and application is evidenced in the overall content - especially the toolkit.
Definitions and identifiable tenets are noted throughout.
Rationale flows from the literature.
Ease of Use for Both Students and Faculty
Rating:
Strengths:
Clear instructions for use, robust softwaare and a site in working order add to ease of use.
Concerns:
Navigation and initial understanding of how all of the concepts presented fit together is difficult. A new college student could need assistance. The references are old, so if using this for a college paper, it would need to be suplemented with newer material. Some terms, even with explanation may need more examples.
