Abstract
Our observational study of trauma resuscitations examined whether (in)civility among medical team members affects the pain experienced by patients under their treatment. Results showed that incivility was associated with increased patient pain, whereas civility was associated with reduced patient pain, and engaging in support-seeking behaviour buffered against incivility’s negative effects.
