Summary
Nursing professionals, with and without a migration background, frequently experience discrimination from patients. Both groups cited gender and age, while those with a migration background also faced discrimination based on ethnic origin.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare research
- Sociology of health
- Nursing studies
Context:
- Limited research exists on discrimination against nursing professionals in Germany.
- Previous studies were primarily qualitative.
- This study addresses the gap by quantitatively assessing individual discrimination experiences.
Purpose:
- To identify the types and reasons for discrimination experienced by nursing professionals.
- To compare discrimination experiences between nursing professionals with and without a migration background.
- To investigate the attribution of discrimination reasons by nursing professionals.
Summary:
- A quantitative cross-sectional study surveyed 302 nursing professionals (73 with a migration background) in German healthcare settings.
- The Everyday Discrimination Scale (EDS) measured discrimination frequency.
- Nursing professionals with a migration background reported higher frequencies of discrimination, though differences were not statistically significant.
Impact:
- Results indicate high levels of patient-perpetrated discrimination affecting nursing professionals.
- Both groups attributed discrimination to gender and age.
- Nursing professionals with a migration background additionally cited ethnic origin as a reason for discrimination.
- Further research, including qualitative studies, is recommended to contextualize these findings.
