Abstract

Background

Growing awareness of social inequities and injustices in education highlights the urgent need to address harmful mechanisms, policies, and norms within health education curricula and systems.

Purpose

This study examines inclusivity and exclusivity content in four fundamental nursing textbooks and contributes to the broader discourse on fostering equitable health education.

Methods

A Directed Qualitative Content Analysis on 32 chapters from four fundamental nursing textbooks was systematically conducted. Seven codes within inclusivity and exclusivity themes were deductively developed from the literature. Inclusivity codes included equity language and contextualized race-based prevalence. Exclusivity codes included normalizing Whiteness in assessment, stigmatizing and negative descriptors, race-based prevalence without context, cisgenderism, and othering. Two trained analysts independently reviewed the chapters, assigning texts to these codes. Discrepancies were resolved by team consensus.

Results

A total of 118 inclusivity instances: equity language (n = 109) and race-based prevalence with context (n = 9). Exclusivity codes were more prevalent (n = 642), including normalizing Whiteness (n = 398), stigmatizing descriptors (n = 106), cisgenderism (n = 59), and othering (n = 32).

Conclusion

The study highlights inclusive language in fundamental nursing textbooks but reveals significant exclusive language perpetuating negative generalizations, including marginalized identities and race prevalence without context. This content undermines person-centered care and hinders understanding the complex interplay between intersectionality, social justice, and social determinants of health.

研究基础护理教科书的包容性和排他性内容:定向定性内容分析
背景人们日益意识到教育中的社会不平等和不公正,这突出表明迫切需要解决健康教育课程和系统中的有害机制、政策和规范。从文献中演绎出了包容性和排他性主题中的七个代码。包容性代码包括公平语言和基于种族的背景化流行。排他性代码包括在评估中使白种人正常化、污名化和负面描述、无背景的基于种族的普遍性、顺性别主义和他者化。两名训练有素的分析师独立审阅了各章节,并为这些代码分配了文本。结果 共有 118 个包容性实例:公平语言(109 个)和有背景的种族偏见(9 个)。该研究强调了基础护理教科书中的包容性语言,但也揭示了大量的排斥性语言,这些语言延续了负面的概括,包括边缘化身份和无背景的种族普遍性。这些内容破坏了以人为本的护理,阻碍了对交叉性、社会正义和健康的社会决定因素之间复杂相互作用的理解。
