BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: To characterize the representation of racial and ethnic minoritized faculty in leadership positions at the top 50 National Institutes of Health-ranked academic nursing institutions.
We conducted a cross-sectional observational study to characterize the racial/ethnic composition of academic leaders, including those in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) positions from September 2020 to December 2020.
Among the 409 leaders, the sample was predominantly composed of females (86.6%), White leaders (80.9%), affiliated with public institutions (75.1%), and in the southern region (42.1%). Exactly 13.6% were from minoritized groups. Minoritized leaders were less likely to hold dean and higher executive positions than their nonminoritized counterparts (p < .002). DEI leadership positions were mostly concentrated in lower executive positions (e.g., director) and primarily consisted of minoritized leaders (>60%).
Underrepresentation of racial and ethnic minoritized individuals in academic nursing leadership persists, necessitating structural interventions within nursing academia to promote inclusivity. Achieving this goal requires a concerted investment in diversifying academic nursing leadership and ensuring positions that minoritized leaders are in, hold weight.
背景/目的：描述美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）排名前 50 的学术护理机构中处于领导地位的少数族裔教职员工的代表性。
我们开展了一项横断面观察性研究，以描述学术领导者的种族/族裔构成，包括多样性、公平性和包容性（DEI）职位中的人员，研究时间为 2020 年 9 月至 2020 年 12 月。
在 409 名领导者中，样本主要由女性（86.6%）、白人领导者（80.9%）、公立机构附属人员（75.1%）和南部地区人员（42.1%）组成。仅有 13.6%的人来自少数族裔群体。少数族裔领导者担任院长和更高行政职务的比例低于非少数族裔领导者（p<.002）。DEI 领导职位主要集中在较低的行政职位（如主任），且主要由少数族裔领导者担任（>60%）。
少数族裔在学术护理领导力中的代表性不足仍然存在，需要在护理学术界进行结构性干预，以促进包容性。实现这一目标需要集中精力多元化学术护理领导力，并确保少数族裔领导者担任的职位具有重要意义。
