Despite nursing's stated mandate of health equity and social justice, concrete steps to address racism and anti-Black racism in the profession and nursing education remain mainly non-significant and are often seen as performative. It is crucial to implement tangible measures to dismantle racism and anti-Black racism in nursing education to address racial health disparities. Throughout history, nursing education has been shaped by colonial and Eurocentric ideologies, leading to the silencing and erasure of the knowledge, culture, perspectives, and ways of knowing of Black and other racialized communities. Consequently, urgent action is required to dismantle embedded racism and anti-Black racism in the nursing profession. Drawing on anti-racist philosophies, we argue that dismantling racism in nursing education goes beyond superficial discussions of equity, diversity, and inclusion. Instead, it demands a proactive approach to tackle the underlying causes of racial inequities. In this article, we propose several recommendations and implications for nursing educators, researchers, policymakers, and educational institutions to eliminate racism and anti-Black racism in both nursing education and practice. These recommendations include acknowledging the historical and contemporary impacts of racism and anti-Black racism on the health and well-being of Black individuals, engaging in critical self-reflexivity, integrating and prioritizing Black knowledge and perspectives in nursing education, practice, and research, and intentionally adopting anti-racist pedagogy.

行动呼吁：在加拿大护理教育中整合反种族主义哲学以消除种族主义和反黑人种族主义

Background and Purpose Despite documented accounts of racial discrimination against Chinese communities during the COVID-19 pandemic, few studies have examined experiences of racism among Canadian youth. This qualitative study explored the experiences of Chinese-Canadian youth during the COVID-19 pandemic and their mental health. Methods A qualitative descriptive research design, informed by Critical Race Theory (CRT), was used for this study. Data was collected using focus groups and image-based elicitation methods. Youth who self-identified as Chinese-Canadian, aged 18–24, and who experienced some account of self-defined racism were included. We analyzed the data using a coding system developed for this study and formulated key themes. Results Our analysis identified three themes: (I) Becoming racialized; (II) Learning the rules of racism; and (III) Effects of racism on mental health. We discuss findings in relation to the model minority stereotype, intersectionality of race and gender, and factors leading to a lack of support. Conclusions This study provides evidence that racism had immediate and prolonged effects on the mental health of Chinese-Canadian youth and their relationships with peers, family, and even strangers. Our research suggests the need for enhanced services for Chinese-Canadian youth and other groups experiencing racism.

Study background Reducing children's vulnerability to climate change (CC) depends firstly on parents having the ability to adapt. Purpose The purpose of this study was to describe knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of nurses in support of parents’ ability to adapt to CC to protect the physical and psychosocial health of 0–5 year olds. Methods A cross-sectional descriptive study was used. A total of 127 pediatric nurses from the province of Quebec completed an online questionnaire documenting nurses’ knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions about CC. Results A third of nurses have little or no knowledge of the health risks of CC for children, even though they consider it to be a major issue for children. Nurses perceive that parents don’t generally consider their children to be among the most vulnerable to CC, trivialize their effects on their children's health, have little knowledge of the effects of CC mainly on their children's psychosocial health, know little about the means to use to protect them, and more readily seek help from family and friends to ensure their children's protection. Nurses affirm that they are responsible for discussing the health effects of CC with parents, introduce measures to reduce their effects, possess little knowledge and few skills for reducing their effects, and feel unprepared to deal with their effects in their practice. Conclusions Greater access to training on CC-related concepts is needed to increase nurses’ knowledge. Nurses’ perceptions must be validated with parents to promote optimal protection of children from CC.

魁北克护士对气候变化的知识、态度及在0至5岁儿童护理实践中的认知：一项横断面描述性研究

The COVID pandemic brought to light the pressing issues of social isolation and loneliness for older adults. Immigrant older adults’ experience of loneliness is even more exacerbated by factors, such as, language barriers, and the loss of cultural community. Key determinants of loneliness in older immigrants are not clear in the literature. A cross-sectional study was conducted in nine cities across Canada to: describe the experience of emotional, social and overall loneliness; and examine the determinants of loneliness among Punjabi, Mandarin, and Arabic-speaking older immigrants. A total of 647 older immigrants participated in the study. Descriptive statistics were used to describe their experience of loneliness, and multiple regression analysis was performed to examine the determinants of loneliness. Most participants had a post-secondary education, were married, and had been in Canada for about 16 years. On average, the participants reported good physical and mental health, and moderate levels of emotional, social, and overall loneliness. Ethnocultural group, emotional wellbeing, and depression were associated with emotional loneliness. Social loneliness was associated with education, depression, psychological distress, age, and ethnocultural group. Determinants of overall loneliness were age, gender, ethnocultural group, self-rated mental health, emotional wellbeing, depression, and psychological distress. Community based interventions that target these key factors must be designed to address loneliness experienced by older immigrants.

Purpose Obtaining meaningful clinical experiences with paediatric and perinatal (young families) populations is increasingly challenging for nursing programs. Care for this population has largely moved to outpatient and tertiary settings. Therefore, a current trend is to use non-traditional clinical settings. While summer camps offer rich learning experiences for nursing students, they are seldom used as clinical placements. Faculty at an Atlantic Canadian university sought a novel way to engage students in young families’ learning by partnering with overnight summer camps, staffed by counsellors, camp administrators, and on-site nurses. Campers included those with lived experience of cancer, diabetes, physical and developmental challenges, and socioeconomic challenges. This study assesses how young families course outcomes were met by an innovative clinical experience within a Bachelor of Nursing program and describes the perceptions and experiences of those involved. Methods Study participants included students (n = 4), camp directors (n = 3), a camp nurse (n = 1), and the clinical educator (n = 1). Data collection involved semi-structured interviews and a focus group. Interpretive description methodology was used to identify themes and patterns related to overarching research questions. Findings Students met the outcomes and overall participant perceptions and experiences were positive. However, some participants shared constructive critiques for future consideration. Conclusions Nursing students who completed a young families clinical placement at summer camps met course outcomes, and those involved reported both positive experiences and constructive critiques for future consideration.

青少年家庭护理暑期营临床实习：一项解释性描述研究

Impostor syndrome is a common phenomenon experienced by individuals when entering new ranks in the workplace. Although women experience greater feelings of imposter syndrome than men, Black individuals report a prolonged experience of imposter syndrome when compared to their white counterparts, which negatively impacts their everyday experiences, health, and overall well-being. With growing studies showing the pervasive nature of anti-Black racism on the health of Black people, there remains a paucity of studies showing the connection between anti-Black racism and imposter syndrome. Within nursing, anti-Black racism can be seen to foster imposter syndrome through discriminatory practices that affect the career development, recruitment, and retention of Black nurses. Anti-Black racism is prevalent, and, in this paper, two Black nurses share insight through their own encounters with imposter syndrome and its relationship with anti-Black racism. Guided by Black feminist thought, they use art to navigate their reflective discourse as a means of reclaiming their identity and positionality as leaders in their rights. Reflective discourse is ideal for transformative learning to occur through dialogue. In addition, it promotes the use of art for deeper discussions when understanding the Black experience. Together, these nurses explicate how adopting Afrocentric knowledge and practices through their reflective discourse can affirm their identity, promote a sense of belonging, and assist in dismantling the effects of anti-Black racism and imposter syndrome within nursing.
