Disparities in the quality of health care for the black population have been apparent for many decades, evidenced by the high mortality and morbidity rates for the black/African American community. Major health care organizations have recognized that a culturally diverse nursing workforce is essential to improve the health of this community. Recruitment of prenursing students from the black population is vital to building a diversified workforce sensitive to the community's needs. In recent years, innovative projects have evolved to increase nurse workforce's diversity by recruiting black/African American students. This article provides background, identifies challenges, recommends solutions, and showcases successful programs.
几十年来，黑人群体的医疗保健质量差距明显，这表现在黑人群体/非裔美国人的高死亡率和高发病率上。主要的医疗保健组织已经认识到，多元化的护理人员队伍对于改善这个社区的健康至关重要。从黑人群体中招募护理专业的学生对于建立一支对社区需求敏感的多元化劳动力至关重要。近年来，通过招募黑人群体/非裔美国学生来增加护士劳动力多样性的创新项目已经出现。本文提供了背景信息，确定了挑战，提出了建议，并展示了成功的项目。
