    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • Disability Studies
    • Sociology of Health

    Background:

    • The underrepresentation of disabled individuals in the nursing profession is a significant concern.
    • Existing literature often overlooks the specific barriers faced by nurses with disabilities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the low percentage of disabled nurses.
    • To explore the influence of stigma and labeling theories on this phenomenon.
    • To propose recommendations for nursing curricula to enhance inclusivity.

    Main Methods:

    • Theoretical analysis referencing stigma and labeling.
    • Examination of attitudinal barriers within healthcare settings.
    • Review of current nursing education practices.

    Main Results:

    • A small percentage of nurses identify as disabled.
    • Attitudinal barriers among healthcare staff are identified as a key impediment.
    • Stigma and labeling contribute to the exclusion of disabled individuals from nursing.

    Conclusions:

    • Addressing attitudinal barriers is crucial for increasing the representation of disabled nurses.
    • Revisions to nursing curricula can foster a more inclusive environment.
    • Facilitating the recruitment and education of nurses with physical disabilities requires systemic changes.
