Abstract
Background: Social determinants of health (SDOH) cause significant burden on individuals living with acute and chronic disease. There are meaningful data to support screening for social needs, yet implementation limitations exist in the clinical setting. Incorporating SDOH education into nurse practitioner (NP) curriculum provides a framework for bringing these concepts into clinical practice. As NP education transitions from concept-based to competency-based instruction, NP programs across the nation are tasked with ensuring socially competent, practice-ready NPs.
Method: To help students understand the impact of SDOH in an applied way, a multisemester clinical and didactic dyad approach to SDOH competency was implemented.
Results: NP students (N = 521) in three separate cohorts completed the SDOH project between 2019 and 2021. Statistically significant results (p > .001) demonstrated increased knowledge related to SDOH in the clinical setting.
Conclusion: Equipping NP students with SDOH competencies empowers them to optimize health, improve patient outcomes, and promote health equity. [J Nurs Educ. 2025;64(2):132-135.].
