Researchers conducted a quantitative, cross-sectional study of 130 nurses from May to July 2020 that included a 16-item Racial and Ethnic Microaggression Scale, two-item Patient Health Questionnaire and six questions measuring participants’ satisfaction with training.
Researchers found:
- No significant difference in the number of self-reported microaggressions between non-Latino white students and students of color.
- An inverse correlation between the greater self-reported experience of microaggression and lesser satisfaction with graduate nursing training.
- A positive correlation between greater self-reported experience of microaggressions and greater symptoms of depression.
