Significant racial discordance between nurses and patients in Black-serving hospitals
A new Penn Nursing Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research study reveals a significant underrepresentation of Black nurses compared to the Black patient populations they serve, particularly in hospitals that care for a higher proportion of Black patients. The study, led Eileen T. Lake, the Edith Clemmer Steinbright Professor in Gerontology, Professor of Nursing and Sociology, and CHOPR associate cirector, is set to be published in Nursing Research.
