Individuals with visible disabilities are underrepresented in nursing and have been denied admission to nursing education and discriminated against based on their disability, although nurse educators have been found to hold positive explicit attitudes toward disabled individuals. This study examines nurse educators' implicitly held attitudes toward individuals with disabilities through the use of the Disability Attitude Implicit Association Test. Findings demonstrated that nurse educators are strongly biased toward individuals without disabilities (N = 132, D = 0.76, SD = 0.46) and demonstrated a stronger preference than the general population (N = 38,544, D = 0.45, SD = 0.43). Study results suggest the need for a timely critique of the continuing focus on physical abilities as a prerequisite for admission to nursing programs. In addition, faculty in schools of nursing and practicing nurses must engage in discussions of attitudes toward individuals with visible disabilities for the discipline to be more inclusive.
有可见残疾的个人在护理中代表性不足，并且由于残疾而被拒绝接受护理教育和歧视，尽管已经发现护士教育者对残疾个人持有积极的明确态度。本研究通过使用残疾态度内隐联想测验来检验护士教育者对残疾个体的内隐态度。研究结果表明，护士教育者对没有残疾的个体存在强烈的偏见（N=132，D=0.76，SD=0.46），并且比普通人群（N=38544，D=0.45，SD=0.43）表现出更强的偏好。研究结果表明，需要及时批评继续关注身体能力作为进入护理计划的先决条件。此外，护理学校的教师和执业护士必须就对可见残疾个体的态度进行讨论，以使该学科更具包容性。
