Abstract:
Assisting graduate nursing students to recognize implicit bias and racism is imperative when providing health care with culturally diverse groups. The article describes an interactive simulation between graduate students and a standardized patient designed to raise awareness of implicit bias and racism. Students in the Doctor of Nursing Practice and PhD programs participated in interviews with a standardized patient; in team interactions; in content analysis of simulated communications; and in reflection, debriefing, and evaluation sessions. Self-awareness education may help reduce health disparities within disparate racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, or undocumented peoples.
