Social determinants of health-the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age that affect health and quality of life-are strongly associated with disparities in health status and life expectancy. Nurses require a comprehensive understanding of social determinants and their associations with health outcomes to provide patient-centered care. Nurses can be leaders and change agents in advancing health equity by screening for social determinants that affect women and by engaging in cross-sector collaboration to build partnerships outside the health care system to address complex social needs. Nurses can also use their experience and knowledge to advocate for system-level change, which is required to address the upstream factors influencing the health of women.
健康的社会决定因素——人们出生、成长、工作、生活和衰老的环境，这些环境会影响健康和生活质量——与健康状况和预期寿命的差异密切相关。护士需要全面了解社会决定因素及其与健康结果的关联，以便提供以患者为中心的护理。护士可以通过筛查影响女性的社会决定因素，并通过跨部门合作在医疗保健系统之外建立伙伴关系以满足复杂的社会需求，成为促进健康公平的领导者和变革推动者。护士还可以利用他们的经验和知识倡导系统层面的变革，这是解决影响女性健康的上游因素所必需的。
