Stepping out of the shadows: Creating a graphic novella to address bullying in nursing education

Context The Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education Professional and Residency and Fellowship Standards indicate athletic training students, residents, and fellows must be trained in diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice (DEI&SJ). Diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice is a broad, complicated subject. Stereotyping and bias training are 2 topics within DEI&SJ that are important for providing culturally competent health care. Objective To detail a strategy for implementing concepts of DEI&SJ into athletic training education programs. Background As part of the health care team, athletic trainers are at the forefront of access to the medical system. Athletic trainers need to be prepared to service a growing diverse population. Description This learning activity enables athletic training educators to creatively engage students in discussion using graphic novels. This article describes the preparation and delivery methods for using graphic novels to teach stereotyping and bias concepts. Clinical Advantage(s) Integrating graphic novels into a classroom activity allows students the opportunity for open communication with classmates. Interpreting graphic novels may increase patient-centered care by increasing empathy in athletic training students. Conclusion(s) The inclusion of graphic novels into athletic training education using interpretation and open discussion techniques can expose students to complicated topics related to DEI&SJ.
