Saxton R, Hines T, Enriquez M. The negative impact of nurse-physician disruptive behavior on patient safety: a review of the literature. J Patient Saf. 2009;5(3):180-183. doi:10.1097/pts.0b013e3181b4c5d7.
The authors reviewed the existing literature on disruptive behavior by physicians, and concluded that while the problem is common, implementing interventions to reduce such behavior will require a standardized definition and valid measurement strategies.
