Background:

  • Euro-American academic fields, including nursing, often dismiss or sanitize non-colonial healing practices.
  • Existing discourse on decolonizing nursing lacks clear objectives and accountability measures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically examine the discourse on decolonizing nursing.

  • To propose practical steps for centering diverse ways of knowing in nursing.

Main Methods:

  • Philosophical reflection informed by postcolonial, critical, and Black feminist theories.
  • Analysis of the current discourse on decolonizing nursing.
  • Examination of historical and contemporary colonial influences in nursing.

Main Results:

  • Current calls to decolonize nursing lack specificity regarding goals and processes, hindering accountability.
  • Insufficient reckoning with colonialism's legacy in nursing impedes future-oriented learning.
  • Diverse ways of knowing and silenced voices are not adequately prioritized.

Conclusions:

  • Decolonizing nursing necessitates a clear articulation of goals and processes for effective implementation and accountability.
  • Intentional engagement with colonialism's impact is crucial for nursing's future.
  • Centering marginalized communities and scholars is essential for a truly decolonized nursing practice and knowledge base.
