Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Social Sciences
- Health Equity
Background:
- Prior research confirms nursing students encounter racism, mental health stigma, and ableism.
- A gap exists in understanding the broader scope of discrimination and its intersectional nature within nursing programs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct an intersectional analysis of nursing students' experiences with discrimination.
- To explore how discrimination manifests across intersecting social identities within nursing education.
Main Methods:
- Utilized Crenshaw's intersectionality theory.
- Analyzed cross-sectional survey data from nursing students.
Main Results:
- Discrimination operates complexly across students' social locations.
- Identified intersecting impacts of racism, homophobia/transphobia, mental health stigma, religious discrimination, and ableism.
- Discrimination occurs in clinical, classroom, and policy settings.
Conclusions:
- Nursing students experience multifaceted discrimination based on intersecting identities.

Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974).

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Bias refers to any tendency that prevents a question from being considered unprejudiced.

Bias can occur during any research phase, including study design, data collection, analysis, and publication.
In statistics, a sampling bias is created when a sample is collected from a population, and some members of the population are not as likely to be chosen as others (remember, each member...

01:15Nursing Evaluation
3.3K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
