| dcterms.abstract | Problem Statement: Implicit bias towards racial/ethnic minorities and other marginalizedgroups is pervasive among healthcare professionals. Implicit bias may negatively impact the quality of care nurses provide to patients and perpetuates health disparities. Education on implicit bias within the nursing curricula is limited, which indicates a need for presenting information on this topic. Purpose: To develop effective and sustainable implicit bias education for both undergraduate and graduate nursing students that focused on increasing student awareness, knowledge, and management of implicit bias. Methods: Three evidence-based educational modules were delivered to students in September and October 2022. Surveys containing an adapted version of the Attitudes Toward Implicit Bias Instrument (ATIBI) and open-ended questions on management strategies were used to collect data pre-intervention, immediately post-intervention, and three months post-intervention. Results: Three students attended Module 1, and two of those students completed the entire module series. Five students responded to a pre-intervention survey, two to an immediate post-intervention survey, and four to a three-month post-intervention survey. Average adapted ATIBI results increased from 84.2 at baseline to 91 immediately after the intervention. Participants were better able to list individual management strategies immediately after the intervention. Longitudinal results were limited due to the inability to verify that students who completed the modules responded to a three-month post-intervention survey. Discussion: The educational modules demonstrated promising short-term benefits on increasing student awareness, knowledge, and management of implicit bias. Therefore, efforts to integrate implicit bias education into nursing curricula should continue to be pursued. | |
