African American women's health has been neglected in the nursing and other health care literature, in spite of evidence that they are among the most vulnerable populations in the United States today. In this article, I highlight the health disparities between African American and European American women, discuss possible reasons for the disparities, and propose that nursing as a profession has been complicit in perpetuating the racism of health care and society. Although the focus is on nursing research and practice, it is likely that other health care disciplines perpetuate racism in similar ways.
尽管有证据表明非裔美国女性是当今美国最脆弱的群体之一，但护理及其他医疗保健文献却一直忽视她们的健康问题。在本文中，我着重强调了非裔美国女性与欧裔美国女性之间的健康差异，探讨了造成这些差异的可能原因，并指出护理行业在延续医疗保健和社会中的种族主义方面难辞其咎。虽然重点是护理研究与实践，但其他医疗保健学科可能也以类似方式延续着种族主义。
