Empowering Inclusion: Assessing the Impact of a DEIB Educational Module for Preceptors
Webinar Details
This presentation will provide an overview of a research project funded by AACN’s Foundation of Academic Nursing addressing diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in nursing. The literature reports that Resident Registered Nurse Anesthetists (RRNAs) experience bias and discrimination in the clinical setting, leading to increased stress and dissatisfaction. With the assistance of an instructional designer, the researchers of this project created an innovative, evidenced-based, quality educational module for CRNA preceptors to build their skills by precepting a diverse population of students. The project then evaluated the module from the CRNA preceptor and the student learner.
Outcomes:
- Understand issues student-learners may be facing in the clinical setting related to DEIB and racism
- Identify strategies that nursing preceptors may utilize to address DEIB and racism towards their preceptees
