Abstract
This essay aimed to reflect on the dynamics of workplace bullying and the role of occupational nursing in the strategic planning to break this cycle of violence. This is a theoretical essay based on important researchers in the field of bullying at work in the Brazilian scenario. Discussions show that a country’s decision for a given economic model has a strong impact on the occupational health and safety of employees due to its influence on situations of hostility, embarrassment, humiliation, intimidation and offenses by the aggressor-organization. This can result in psychosocial damage such as loss of value, dissatisfaction, indignation, discouragement, anxiety, depression, social isolation, panic syndrome, muscle tension, suicide, among others. Despite the fact that occupational nurses develop actions of situational diagnosis of occupational safety of the services in these contexts—while also elaborating, executing and evaluating action plans for the prevention, promotion, protection, and recovery of the workers' health—there are no systematized means to assist nurses in this. As a result, it is proposed to use strategic planning against the cycle of violence, which has research stages that helped promote spaces for dialogue between employees and managers, in favor of the fight against moral harassment.
