Abstract

Background

Biosocial approaches in nursing research have largely focused on the ways that social determinants of health influence individual-level outcomes, including symptom management, family and social support, and educational interventions.

Purpose

Theoretical, methodological, and practical strategies are needed to expand current biosocial methods for nursing science and focus on upstream, structural determinants of health and the policies that underlie health inequities.

Methods

This paper summarizes presentations given at the 2023 Council for the Advancement of Nursing Science Advanced Methods Conference, Biosocial Methods to Advance Health Equity, in a panel titled “Individual, community, systems and policy related to biosocial methods.”

Discussion

Nurses are uniquely positioned to examine upstream, structural determinants of health by leveraging expertise in biosocial methods, collaborating with interdisciplinary researchers and community members, and advocating for policy change. By conducting theory-grounded biosocial research, nurse researchers can significantly advance scientific knowledge and promote health equity for individuals and communities.

Conclusion

Nurse scientists are conducting research using biosocial methods and provide recommendations for expansion of this approach in the field.

利用生物社会方法研究和解决健康的结构性决定因素，促进健康公平。

背景：护理研究中的生物社会方法主要关注健康的社会决定因素如何影响个人层面的结果，包括症状管理、家庭和社会支持以及教育干预。目的：需要制定理论、方法和实践策略，以扩展当前护理科学的生物社会方法，并关注健康的上游结构性决定因素以及造成健康不平等的政策：本文总结了在 2023 年护理科学促进委员会高级方法会议 "促进健康公平的生物社会方法 "上，在题为 "与生物社会方法相关的个人、社区、系统和政策 "的小组讨论中的发言：通过利用生物社会方法方面的专业知识、与跨学科研究人员和社区成员合作以及倡导政策变革，护士在研究健康的上游结构性决定因素方面具有得天独厚的优势。通过开展以理论为基础的生物社会研究，护士研究人员可以极大地推动科学知识的发展，促进个人和社区的健康公平：护士科学家正在使用生物社会方法开展研究，并为在该领域推广这种方法提供了建议。
