Workplace bullying (WPB) is a series of persistent negative interactions that can affect a health care professional’s ability to perform his/her role. Workplace bullying has been associated with many personal and professional life disturbances. Although workplace bullying has been studied in health professions such as nursing, there is a dearth of information pertaining to this phenomenon in other health care disciplines, including athletic training. The objective is to determine the prevalence of workplace bullying among certified athletic trainers in the collegiate setting and explore the experiences and perceptions of those athletic trainers.
