BACKGROUND The incidence of incivility in nursing education is increasing in most countries and it is affecting the culture of safety and the teaching-learning processes. Despite reports of increasing trends, little is known about nursing students' academic incivility in the Middle East. This study aimed at exploring the perceptions and extent of academic incivility among nursing students (NS) and nursing faculty members (NF) in a university based undergraduate nursing program in Oman. METHODS A quantitative cross sectional survey was used to explore NS academic incivility from the perspective of NS and NF in a public university in Oman. Data was obtained from a sample of 155 NS and 40 NF using the Incivility in Nursing Education Survey. RESULTS There was agreement between NS and NF on the majority of behaviors perceived to be disruptive. The incidence of NS academic incivility was moderate. The most common uncivil behaviors were acting bored or apathetic in class, holding conversations that distract others in class, using cell phones during class, arriving late for class, and being unprepared for class. There were significant differences between NF and NS perceived incidence of uncivil behaviors such as sleeping in class (p = 0.016); not paying attention in class (p = 0.004); refusing to answer direct questions (p = 0.013); leaving class early (p = 0.000); cutting or not coming to class (p = 0.024); and creating tension by dominating class discussions (p = 0.002). CONCLUSION Student academic incivility is moderately present in nursing education in Oman, and this may have implications in terms of the future of the profession and patient care. There is need for more streamlined policies and strategies to curtail the incidence of academic incivility and to maintain safe and effective learning environments.

阿曼护理学生学术不活跃的发生率和感知。

背景技术在大多数国家，护理教育中的不文明行为的发生率正在上升，并且正在影响安全文化和教学过程。尽管有增长趋势的报道，但对中东护理学生的学术不活跃程度知之甚少。这项研究旨在探讨阿曼某大学本科护理计划中护理学生（NS）和护理教师（NF）的学术不活跃感和程度。方法采用定量横断面调查法从阿曼一所公立大学的NS和NF角度探讨NS的学术不活跃性。使用护理教育调查中的不活跃性从155 NS和40 NF的样本中获得数据。结果NS和NF在大多数被认为具有破坏性的行为上达成了共识。NS学术不活跃的发生率是中等的。最常见的不文明行为是在课堂上表现为无聊或无动于衷，进行交谈分散了课堂上的其他人的注意力，在上课时使用手机，上课迟到，以及对上课没有准备。NF和NS感知到的非文明行为发生率（如上课睡觉）之间存在显着差异（p = 0.016）；在课堂上没有注意（p = 0.004）; 拒绝回答直接问题（p = 0.013）；提早上课（p = 0.000）; 不参加课程（p = 0.024）；并通过主导课堂讨论来产生张力（p = 0.002）。结论在阿曼的护理教育中，学生的学术不活跃程度中等，这可能对该行业的未来和患者护理产生影响。
