Anti-Racism in Nursing Education: Recommendations for Racial Justice Praxis
Background:
Studies link racism to higher mortality rates, earlier onset of more severe diseases, and higher comorbidity and impairment. This article explores nursing education as an upstream intervention to addressing racial inequities.
Method:
Six recommendations were created to guide the praxis of anti-racism in nursing education. The recommendations were based on examination of nursing literature and draw on experiences of the author.
Results:
These recommendations include the following: adopt an explicitly anti-racist position, include everyone, institute a power and privilege course for all incoming students, implement intersectionality as a core competency, foster community-academic partnership, and utilize transdisciplinary resources.
Conclusion:
There are no quick fixes to health inequities; they are rooted in racism and discrimination that have been woven into the fabric of American society. However, by implementing the outlined recommendations, schools of nursing, and their nurse educators, can prepare the future workforce to be change agents.[J Nurs Educ. 2020;59(11):642-645.].
