EXCERPT FROM THE STUDY
Diversity is about more than just race and gender; it encompasses disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, and veteran status, as well as differences in background, experience, education, and even thought. Diversity in nursing enables nurses to cultivate an awareness and understanding of the various beliefs and attitudes held by different patient populations (Majumdar, Browne, Roberts, & Carpio, 2015).
Nurses care for patients from every age group, socioeconomic background, race and ethnicity, educational level, and gender identity. Building the communication and trust needed to provide appropriate care to such diverse patient populations can pose significant challenges. However, nurses may be better prepared to meet patient needs when they share their patients’ backgrounds. This often affords nurses insight into their patients’ treatment preferences and decision-making processes.
When nurses have an awareness of such differences, they can respond in ways that ensure those differences don’t become barriers to the delivery of quality healthcare. This also plays a critical role in fostering good communication and providing culturally competent care — both key to tackling health disparities.
