The coronavirus disease 2019 mortality rate among Black adults in the U.S. is double that of other racial and ethnic groups. The current pandemic is re-illuminating health inequities that are pervasive in our society and reflected in our health system. This creative controversy describes critical conversations needed within nursing to acknowledge the contribution of structural racism to health equity. We recommend implementing structural competency into nursing education and prioritizing nursing research and policies focused on health equity and community-based interventions.
美国成年黑人的 2019 冠状病毒疾病死亡率是其他种族和族裔群体的两倍。当前的大流行正在重新揭示我们社会中普遍存在的、反映在我们卫生系统中的健康不平等现象。这场有争议的讨论描述了护理领域中需要进行的关键性对话,以承认结构性种族主义对健康公平的贡献。我们建议将结构性能力纳入护理教育,并优先重视以健康公平和以社区为基础的干预为重点的护理研究和政策。
