The primary purpose of this study was to explore female nurses' experiences of sexual harassment and the impact of those experiences in clinical settings. Following a survey of sexual harassment frequency, we conducted in-depth interviews with 10 female nurses to learn more about how sexual harassment affects their work performance and personal well-being. Interviews were content analyzed, yielding the following major themes: descriptions of sexual harassment incidents, nurses' responses to the incidents, impact of sexual harassment, and interpretations and attributions about the incidents. Despite the common response of avoiding the harasser or ignoring the behavior, participants recommended increased awareness of sexual harassment, active and direct responses, and appropriate sanctions by supervisors to discourage harassing behavior. Areas for future research on the impact of sexual harassment in health care settings were identified.
