  • Aims and method

    We aimed to systematically review primary studies exploring workplace bullying of psychiatric trainees, including rates, forms of bullying, perpetrators and help-seeking. We searched Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO and Embase using PRISMA guidelines. The inclusion criterion was primary research papers surveying or interviewing psychiatry trainees with respect to perceived workplace bullying by staff members. Exclusion criteria were secondary research papers and papers whose only focus was bullying by patients or carers.

    Results

    Substantial levels of bullying were reported in all five included studies. Perpetrators were often reported to be consultants, managers or peers. Most trainees did not obtain help for bullying and harassment. All of the studies had methodological limitations.

    Clinical implications

    Concerning levels of workplace bullying have been reported by psychiatric trainees in the UK and abroad. Further methodologically robust studies are required to evaluate the current levels and nature of this bullying, and strategies to prevent and manage it.
