Prevalence of Nursing Students With Background Check Findings
The Journal of Nursing Education
|January 16, 2024
Summary
Background checks for nursing students reveal a 3.2% finding rate, similar to general population arrest data. This suggests current screening may not significantly impact nursing workforce diversity.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Criminal Justice
- Public Health
Background:
- Background checks (BGC) are utilized in nursing education.
- Limited data exists on BGC prevalence among nursing students.
- Comparison to the general population is lacking.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe aggregated, de-identified BGC data from U.S. nursing programs (2014-2019).
- To compare BGC findings in nursing students with U.S. regional arrest data.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of BGC data from 16 nursing programs.
- Independent samples t-test for regional comparisons.
- Comparison with Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrest data.
Main Results:
- The mean percentage of nursing student BGC with findings was 3.2%.
- No significant difference in BGC findings prevalence across U.S. regions.
- No significant difference between nursing student BGC results and regional FBI arrest data.
Conclusions:
- Excluding students based on BGC findings may hinder nursing profession diversification.
- Further research is needed to link BGC findings to public protection outcomes.
