Nursing Education and Social Determinants of Health: A Content Analysis

Author:

Colburn Deirdre Ann

Abstract

Background: By integrating a social determinants of health (SDOH) perspective into nursing programs, there is potential to reduce health disparities shaped by these forces. However, little is known about the extent to which nursing program curricula include SDOH education. Method: This study used course descriptions from 32 nursing programs in the United States to perform a frequency and content analysis on required course offerings. Healthy People 2020 was referenced to determine coding categories. Results: Although 18.5% of courses implicitly referenced SDOH, only 1% made explicit references to SDOH. Implicit references were likely to include themes such as cultural sensitivity and diversity, or social, cultural, economic, and political factors influencing health. Conclusion: Although several required nursing course descriptions made implicit references to SDOH, explicit use of the term SDOH is still limited. Faculty, administrators, and program accrediting bodies must push to incorporate SDOH more thoroughly into nursing education. [ J Nurs Educ . 2022;61(9):516–523.]
