“…Moreover, 29% of LGB respondents reported that they believed they would be treated differently by medical personnel because of their LGB, transgender, or queer status (Human Rights Campaign Foundation, ). A review study of LGB individuals’ experiences with nursing services determined that LGB individuals experienced a nexus of exclusion and oppressive social norms (Nhamo‐Murire & Macleod, ). LGB individuals may be aware of the possibility of stigmatization and thus conceal their sexual orientation from health care providers or delay seeking care (Institute of Medicine, ; Whitehead, Shaver, & Stephenson, ; Willging, Salvador, & Kano, ).…”

Objective: To examine the differences in the levels of intention to care for gay and lesbian patients and knowledge regarding homosexuality among Taiwanese nurses between 2005 and 2017 and the moderators of these differences. Design and Sample: This two-wave survey study was conducted on nurses in 2005 (N = 1,176; Survey 2005) and 2017 (N = 1,519; Survey 2017) recruited from three hospitals. Measurements: An anonymous self-report questionnaire was used. Results: In Survey 2017, the nurses expressed both a higher intention to care for gay and lesbian patients and degree of knowledge regarding homosexuality than did those in Survey 2005. The experience of providing care for gay or lesbian patients moderated the association between the time of the survey and intention to care for gay and lesbian patients. Moreover, having gay or lesbian friends or relatives moderated the association between the time of the survey and knowledge about homosexuality. Conclusions: Nurses' intention to care for gay and lesbian patients and knowledge regarding homosexuality in Taiwan significantly increased from 2005 to 2017. The experience of providing care for gay and lesbian patients and having gay or lesbian friends or relatives moderated the increase of nurses' intention to care and knowledge.

“…Schroeder and DiAngelo (2010) point out that the persistent identification of nursing as a 'caring' profession inadvertently creates and maintains the discourse of colour blindness, as it maintains the idea that nurses treat everyone the same and do not oppress. Furthermore, it implies that nurses have evolved past influences of stigmatisation, ignorance and discrimination, a claim that is contradicted by several studies (see, e.g., Ben, Cormack, Harris, & Paradies, 2017;Fiscella & Sanders, 2016;Grant & Guerin, 2018;Lisy, Peters, Schofield, & Jefford, 2018;Nhamo-Murire & Macleod, 2017;Trollor et al, 2016). Norm-critical perspectives in education could add discussions about power and privilege to the seemingly neutral and morally righteous ideal of nursing seen in our analysis, identifying that there are no objective outlooks on caring.…”

From political correctness to reflexivity: A norm‐critical perspective on nursing education

Education is important in shaping professional identity, including how one approaches norms and normalisation. In the analysis presented in this study, nursing students' own constructions of norms and normality from the outlook of their education are highlighted and problematised. To deepen the understanding of these matters, the aim of this study was to explore constructions of norms and normality among students in nursing education. Students studying in a nursing department at a Swedish university college were approached and asked to consider open survey questions targeting their views on norms and normality; 154 of them replied. After a discourse analytic approach to the data, we could see how the students constructed norms and normality as (a) instrumental instructions, consisting of easy‐to‐digest statements grounded in the profession's obvious moral and ethical values, (b) limiting and frustrating obstacles for personal freedom that were important to challenge, (c) rules to be obeyed for the stability of society and (d) a matter of reflection, with each individual being responsible for understanding differences in norms, perspectives and opinions. We conclude that nursing education would benefit from norm‐critical perspectives, problematising students' own positions to norms, power and privilege.

“…When we interact with colleagues and patients, we do so from the perspective of our membership of particular social groups. In meeting people from other social groups who are different from us, there is the possibility of drawing on stereotypes that are culturally available as way of framing our interactions (Kunda 1999). This can lead to interactions which are based on assumptions and possibly prejudice about people belonging to particular social groups.…”

“…Prejudice is when we value a person negatively because of their perceived membership of a particular social group (Kunda 1999). Neuroscientific evidence suggests that even those without apparent prejudice can experience activation of negative stereotypes in some contexts (Forbes et al 2012;Kunda 1999). This suggests that there is potential for anyone to act in a prejudiced way.…”

Understanding equality and diversity in nursing practice

Equality and diversity is a term heard frequently within nursing, healthcare and the wider workplace. The concept links to the UK NMC Code and will be relevant to other regulatory Codes worldwide. This focuses on the core value of treating patients and service users as individuals and with respect and dignity. This article explores equality and diversity, the current UK legal framework behind the concept and offers specific examples of where this may be breached and how nurses can reflect and enhance their practice.
