Title: Recommendations for incorporating social determinants of health within nursing curricula
Abstract:
Social determinants of health (SDOH) are receiving increased national attention. Nursing curricula historically have focused on the mastery of clinical skills, while social justice and health equity have been relegated to courses like population health. This study was designed to identify gaps in nursing faculty knowledge and attitudes about SDOH and provide recommendations for incorporating them into nursing curricula.
