By integrating a social determinants of health (SDOH) perspective into nursing programs, there is potential to reduce health disparities shaped by these forces. However, little is known about the extent to which nursing program curricula include SDOH education.
This study used course descriptions from 32 nursing programs in the United States to perform a frequency and content analysis on required course offerings. Healthy People 2020 was referenced to determine coding categories.
Although 18.5% of courses implicitly referenced SDOH, only 1% made explicit references to SDOH. Implicit references were likely to include themes such as cultural sensitivity and diversity, or social, cultural, economic, and political factors influencing health.
Although several required nursing course descriptions made implicit references to SDOH, explicit use of the term SDOH is still limited. Faculty, administrators, and program accrediting bodies must push to incorporate SDOH more thoroughly into nursing education. .
将健康的社会决定因素（SDOH）视角融入护理课程，有可能减少由这些因素导致的健康差异。然而，人们对护理课程中包含 SDOH 教育的程度知之甚少。
本研究使用了美国 32 个护理项目的课程描述，对必修课程进行了频率和内容分析。参考《健康人民 2020》确定了编码类别。
尽管 18.5%的课程隐含地提到了 SDOH，但只有 1%的课程明确提到了 SDOH。隐含的参考可能包括文化敏感性和多样性，或影响健康的社会、文化、经济和政治因素等主题。
尽管一些必修护理课程描述隐含地提到了 SDOH，但明确使用“SDOH”一词的情况仍然有限。教师、管理人员和项目认证机构必须努力将 SDOH 更全面地纳入护理教育中。
