Structural disparities in the United States (U.S.) healthcare system negatively impact care access and quality for racial and ethnic minorities. The predominantly White nursing workforce does not reflect the nation's diverse population. Enhancing workforce diversity is crucial to addressing these issues.
This scoping review investigates associations between experiences of racism and the well-being of racial/ethnic minority nurses in the U.S., identifying existing evidence and literature gaps.
Utilizing Joanna Briggs' Scoping Review Methodology and PRISMA-ScR standards, we screened eight databases; 31 studies met our inclusion criteria.
Racism is consistently associated with worse psychological and/or physical outcomes among nurses of color across methodologically inconsistent studies. Future research should expand upon the nascent, methodologically inconsistent research reviewed herein to identify and eliminate sources of racism in healthcare and support a diverse nursing workforce.
Racism can undermine the well-being of nursing professionals. Policy changes to address racism in healthcare are needed.
美国医疗保健系统中的结构差异对少数族裔的医疗服务可及性和质量产生了负面影响。以白人为主的护理人员队伍无法反映该国多样化的人口构成。增强劳动力多样性对于解决这些问题至关重要。
本范围综述调查了种族主义经历与美国少数族裔护士福祉之间的关联，确定现有证据和文献空白。
利用乔安娜·布里格斯的范围综述方法和PRISMA-ScR标准，我们筛选了八个数据库；31项研究符合我们的纳入标准。
在方法上不一致的研究中，种族主义始终与有色人种护士较差的心理和/或身体结果相关。未来的研究应在此处综述的新兴、方法上不一致的研究基础上进行扩展，以识别和消除医疗保健中的种族主义根源，并支持多样化的护理人员队伍。
种族主义会损害护理专业人员的福祉。需要进行政策变革以解决医疗保健中的种族主义问题。
