Description
Summary:A need exists for a unified curriculum framework for nurse educators, recognizing racism as a central driver of health inequities. This paper provides nurse educators with a unifying curriculum framework that centers racism as a root cause of health inequity shaping SSDH. A critical examination of the social and structural determinants of health (SSDH) and Yob’s (2018) Framework for a Curriculum in Social Change was conducted, to develop a curriculum framework tailored to the intersection of SSDH and social change within nursing education. The “Nursing Education Integrating Social Change for Health Equity (NISCHE)” framework was developed as a comprehensive curriculum framework for SSDH and social change specifically tailored for nursing education. Practical examples of curricular activities across various settings are offered, thus illustrating implementation and potential impact. By centering racism in the curriculum framework and emphasizing its role in perpetuating health inequities, this paper advances a crucial agenda in nursing education. •Presents the NISCHE framework to address racism as a root cause of health inequity.•Aligns SSDH with Yob’s social change curriculum framework for nursing education.•Provides exemplars to integrate SSDH and social change across nursing programs.•Supports policy implications for advancing health equity through nursing education.
