Microaggressions are thought to negatively impact learning and mental health in underrepresented (UR) nursing students.
The purpose of this study was to investigate three hypotheses in a sample of nursing students: (a) whether, compared to White nursing students, UR nursing students experienced higher frequency of microaggressions, (b) whether microaggressions predict lesser satisfaction with nursing training and (c) whether microaggressions are associated with higher depression screening scores.
A survey during Summer 2020 assessed 862 nursing students (71.8% female, Mean age = 28.8, SD = 9.27, 61.4% White, 20.0% UR) on microaggressions, satisfaction with their nursing program, and depression symptoms.
We found that compared to White nursing students, UR nursing students reported significantly greater microaggression frequency (with Black students reporting the highest frequency), lesser nursing training satisfaction, and equivalent potential depression rates.
Microaggressions deteriorate indicators of wellbeing, especially in UR nursing students. Strategic action to mitigate microaggressions and promote inclusion is needed.
微侵犯被认为会对代表性不足(UR)护理学生的学习和心理健康产生负面影响。
本研究旨在调查护理学生样本中的三个假设:(a)与白人护理学生相比,UR 护理学生是否经历更高频率的微侵犯,(b)微侵犯是否预测对护理培训的满意度较低,以及(c)微侵犯是否与更高的抑郁筛查评分相关。
2020 年夏季的一项调查评估了 862 名护理学生(女性占 71.8%,平均年龄为 28.8,标准差为 9.27,61.4%为白人,20.0%为 UR)的微侵犯、对护理项目的满意度和抑郁症状。
我们发现,与白人护理学生相比,UR 护理学生报告的微侵犯频率明显更高(黑人学生报告的频率最高),对护理培训的满意度较低,潜在抑郁率相当。
微侵犯恶化了幸福感的指标,尤其是在 UR 护理学生中。需要采取策略行动来减轻微侵犯和促进包容。
