While all nurses are experiencing challenges alike, Asian nurses face the additional burden of an alarming onslaught of racism, xenophobia, race-related violence, and physical and verbal attacks resulting from anti-Asian rhetoric since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Stop AAPI Hate reported a 339 percent increase in racially motivated attacks on Asians since the beginning of COVID-19. A recent national study of racism in nursing, the first of its kind, found that 72% of nurses who self-identified as Asians reported having personally experienced racism at work. In addition, being Asian (versus Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders), females, non-heterosexuals, and younger were significantly correlated with discrimination experiences.
This study will examine individual and work environment characteristics associated with racism and discrimination experienced by Asian nurses. We will also examine the relationships between racism and discrimination and self-reported health and professional well-being.
