Received Date: Jul 01, 2024 / Published Date: Jul 30, 2024
Abstract
Promoting health equity and addressing health disparities are pivotal objectives in nursing research aimed at improving health outcomes for diverse populations. This article reviews various approaches that nursing researchers can employ to advance these goals. Key methodologies include Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR), which fosters collaboration with communities to address their specific health needs; disparities-focused research, which identifies and targets health inequalities through data-driven analysis; implementation science, which bridges the gap between research and practice to ensure the effective adoption of evidence-based interventions; culturally competent care research, which tailors care to meet the cultural needs of patients; and intersectional research, which examines how multiple social identities intersect to impact health outcomes. Each approach offers unique benefits and addresses distinct aspects of health disparities. The article also discusses associated challenges, including ethical considerations, data collection issues, and resource constraints, and proposes future directions for enhancing research and practice in these areas. By leveraging these methodologies, nursing research can contribute significantly to reducing health disparities and promoting equity in healthcare.
