This study aims to provide demographic data on the 5.4% of U.S. RNs who are Latino in order to assist nursing educators in planning more effective engagement with the growing U.S. Latino population.
Detailed data from the U.S. Census for the years 1980 to 2010 were used to identify the total U.S. population and the total number of RNs in four standard U.S. Census racial and ethnic groups: non-Latino white (NLW), Latino, African American, and Asian/Pacific Islander.
The number of RNs in each racial or ethnic group per 100,000 persons of that same group is reported for all four groups. Spanish-language ability and nativity were derived only for the NLW and Latino groups. Data are reported for the United States as a whole and for the five states with the largest Latino populations: California, Florida, Illinois, New York, and Texas. Of the four racial and ethnic groups, Latinos had the fewest number of RNs per 100,000 population in the period from 1980 to 2010. Compared with NLW RNs, Latino RNs were more likely to speak Spanish and to have been born abroad. State-by-state variations from the national patterns are provided.
While major nursing organizations have expressed a desire to increase the diversity of the nursing workforce, the data show that Latinos lag far behind all other racial and ethnic groups in representation among RNs. Nursing education programs and institutions need to improve their efforts to increase the number of Latino nurses relative to the Latino population.
本研究旨在提供关于占美国注册护士5.4%的拉丁裔护士的人口统计学数据，以协助护理教育工作者规划更有效地与不断增长的美国拉丁裔人口接触。
使用1980年至2010年美国人口普查的详细数据，确定美国总人口以及美国人口普查四个标准种族和族裔群体中的注册护士总数：非拉丁裔白人（NLW）、拉丁裔、非裔美国人以及亚裔/太平洋岛民。
报告了所有四个群体中每10万人中各种族或族裔群体的注册护士人数。仅针对非拉丁裔白人和拉丁裔群体得出了西班牙语能力和出生地数据。报告了美国整体以及拉丁裔人口最多的五个州的数据：加利福尼亚州、佛罗里达州、伊利诺伊州、纽约州和得克萨斯州。在1980年至2010年期间，在四个种族和族裔群体中，拉丁裔每10万人口中的注册护士人数最少。与非拉丁裔白人注册护士相比，拉丁裔注册护士更有可能说西班牙语且出生在国外。提供了各州与全国模式的差异情况。
虽然主要护理组织表示希望增加护理劳动力的多样性，但数据显示，拉丁裔在注册护士中的代表性远远落后于所有其他种族和族裔群体。护理教育项目和机构需要加大努力，以相对于拉丁裔人口增加拉丁裔护士的数量。
