Background:
A need exists for a unified curriculum framework for nurse educators, recognizing racism as a central driver of health inequities.
Purpose:
This paper provides nurse educators with a unifying curriculum framework that centers racism as a root cause of health inequity shaping SSDH.
Methods:
A critical examination of the social and structural determinants of health (SSDH) and Yob's (2018) Framework for a Curriculum in Social Change was conducted, to develop a curriculum framework tailored to the intersection of SSDH and social change within nursing education.
Discussion:
The "Nursing Education Integrating Social Change for Health Equity (NISCHE)" framework was developed as a comprehensive curriculum framework for SSDH and social change specifically tailored for nursing education. Practical examples of curricular activities across various settings are offered, thus illustrating implementation and potential impact.
Conclusion:
By centering racism in the curriculum framework and emphasizing its role in perpetuating health inequities, this paper advances a crucial agenda in nursing education.
