Sixteen items were developed through 2 content validitytests by 9 experts and 10 nurses. The final WPBN-TI instrument was evaluated by 458 nurses from five general hospitals in the Incheonmetropolitan area. SPSS 18.0 program was used to assess the instrument based on internal consistency reliability, construct validity,and criterion validity. Results: WPBN-TI consisted of 16 items with three distinct factors (verbal and nonverbal bullying, work-relatedbullying, and external threats), which explained 60.3% of the total variance. The convergent validity and determinant validity forWPBN-TI were 100.0%, 89.7%, respectively. Known-groups validity of WPBN-TI was proven through the mean difference betweensubjective perception of bullying. The satisfied criterion validity for WPBN-TI was more than .70. The reliability of WPBN-TI was Cronbach’sα of .91. Conclusions: WPBN-TI with high validity and reliability is suitable to determine types of bullying in nursing workplace.
