Intersectionality theory has been used by nursing scholars to offer insight into how multiple systems of oppression mutually interact to impact health and to examine how multiple social modes of existence shape individual and group experiences of health inequality. The application of intersectionality theory, however, requires a reflexive critical lens to more effectively inform nursing science and practice. We draw on a comprehensive integrative literature review to offer a critical reflection by considering the semantic and structural consistency, generalizability, simplicity and complexity, and the utility and value of intersectionality theory to nursing science and practice. If nurses are to effectively utilize intersectionality theory, it is essential that we are able to analyze and speak to the multiple modes of existence based on historical, social, economic, and political processes that impact the health of those we serve. Critical examination of intersectionality enables nurses to further consider its value and usefulness when applied to nursing science and practice, particularly when addressing health and social inequalities.
交叉性理论已被护理学者用于深入了解多种压迫制度如何相互作用以影响健康,并审视多种社会存在模式如何塑造健康不平等的个体和群体经历。然而,交叉性理论的应用需要一种反思性的批判性视角,以便更有效地为护理科学和实践提供信息。我们通过全面的综合文献综述,从语义和结构一致性、可推广性、简单性和复杂性以及交叉性理论对护理科学和实践的实用性和价值等方面进行批判性反思。如果护士要有效地运用交叉性理论,至关重要的是我们能够基于影响我们所服务对象健康的历史、社会、经济和政治进程,分析并探讨多种存在模式。对交叉性的批判性审视使护士在将其应用于护理科学和实践时,尤其是在解决健康和社会不平等问题时,能够进一步考虑其价值和实用性。
