Inclusivity in nurse education

Abstract

10.1136/ebnurs-2022-103570 Introduction We operate in a world whose core has been shaken by the effects of the COVID19 pandemic: demonstrations, protest, strike actions and campaigns that seeks to administer social justice. Challenges exist for nursing education to be truly inclusive in approaching how current and future nurses are taught, educated and prepared to work in a world that is socially injust. Social justice in nursing relates to the equity and redistribution of resources for better health outcomes. It focuses on the elimination of social and political barriers that negatively impact on the health of individual or groups in society. In nursing, these include areas that relate to practice, policies and systems that govern care. In this editorial, we explore three areas of nurse education where inclusive practice can lead to social justice and better outcomes for care recipients.
