Racism profoundly impacts health, yet UK nursing education needs improvement. Addressing racism in nursing requires institutional support, enhanced racial literacy, and inclusive curricula to foster equitable healthcare.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Public Health
- Health Equity
Background:
- Racism significantly affects health outcomes.
- Undergraduate nursing education in the UK inadequately addresses systemic racism within the profession.
- A review of anti-racist nursing education literature is necessary to identify effective strategies.
Approach:
- A literature review was conducted to explore effective strategies for anti-racist nursing education.
- The review examined existing nursing curricula and pedagogical approaches.
- It identified barriers and facilitators to implementing anti-racist education.
Key Points:
- Nurse educators face denial and defensiveness regarding racism.
- Developing racial literacy and adopting an intersectional approach to teaching health disparities are crucial.
- Institutions must address the retention of Black students and implement robust reporting systems for racism allegations.
Conclusions:
- Institutional commitment is essential for changing the culture of racism in nursing education.
- Evidence-based anti-racist training for staff is required.
- This review serves as a foundational resource for nurse educators committed to anti-racist practices.
