Abstract

Systemic and structural racism in nursing have profound impacts on Black People, Indigenous Peoples, and People of Color. They contributed to underrepresentation in faculty, senior nurse executives, and presidents’ positions in academic and healthcare organizations, physical and mental health issues in racialized groups. This quality improvement study described ways in which the Black Nurses Task Force of the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario can build solidarity with nursing and government organizations to dismantle systemic and structural racism in nursing. This study used a structured online survey, comprised of quantitative and qualitative questions. The qualitative data were analyzed using interpretative thematic analysis and the quantitative data were analyzed with descriptive statistics. Findings showed that 88% of participants experienced racism and 63% said racism affected their mental health. Three themes emerged from the qualitative data: Social support for Black nurses, accountability of leaders and solidarity with Black nurses. These findings demonstrated the urgent need to dismantle systemic and structural racism in nursing.

与黑人护士建立团结，消除护理中的系统性和结构性种族主义。

护理中的系统性和结构性种族主义对黑人、土著人民和有色人种有着深远的影响。他们导致了在学术和医疗机构的教职员工、高级护士管理人员和校长职位上的代表性不足，以及种族化群体的身体和精神健康问题。这项质量改进研究描述了安大略省注册护士协会的黑人护士工作组如何与护理和政府组织建立团结，以消除护理中系统性和结构性的种族主义。本研究采用结构化的在线调查，包括定量和定性问题。定性数据采用解释性专题分析，定量数据采用描述性统计。调查结果显示，88%的参与者经历过种族主义，63%的人表示种族主义影响了他们的心理健康。定性数据中出现了三个主题:对黑人护士的社会支持，领导者的问责制和与黑人护士的团结。这些发现表明，迫切需要消除护理中的系统性和结构性种族主义。
