ABSTRACT
AIM:
To synthesise international literature to identify mechanisms that maintain racism in nursing and understand the factors that contribute to designing and implementing anti-racist praxis to inform nursing in Aotearoa New Zealand.DESIGN:
An integrative literature review was undertaken, integrating Indigenous Kaupapa Maori methodologies to ensure a cultural and philosophical lens.METHODS:
Peer-reviewed literature published, between January 2011 and July 2023 were sourced. Of 1296 articles, 16 met the inclusion criteria and 4 were identified via citation chaining. In total, 20 articles were included. The Johns Hopkins Research Evidence Tool was applied, findings extracted, and thematic analysis completed utilising Indigenous Kaupapa Maori principles. DATA SOURCES Databases, including CINAHL, Scopus, PubMed and Aus/NZ Reference Centre, were searched in July 2023.RESULTS:
Two key themes were identified (1) colonial active resistance to change; and (2) transformational, visionary, and proactive nursing.CONCLUSION:
Nurses are well-positioned to confront the structures that maintain racism in health and education systems but are often actors in maintaining status quo. Anti-racist praxis can be a mechanism for nurses to reimagine, redefine and transform nursing care, leadership, and nursing education to begin to eradicate racism. REPORTINGMETHOD:
This integrative review adhered to the 2020 Preferred Reporting for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION No patient or public contribution. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION Racism remains prevalent in nursing and the healthcare system. It is necessary to implement anti-racist praxis and policies that resist, deconstruct, and dismantle power and racism while validating Indigenous values, beliefs and practices. This is vital to deliver equitable health care. IMPACT This integrative review presents lived realities and knowledge of Indigenous and racially minoritised nurses and scholars, alongside nursing allies to inform anti-racist praxis. This evidence signifies that it is time to walk the walk to challenge the colonising systems and processes that hold racism in place.Palavras-chave
