Abstract
The aim of this concept analysis was to identify the attributes of overweight bias among healthcare providers (HCPs) and create a clear definition to guide the recognition of overweight bias among HCPs. Settings within the healthcare system are not exempt from bias and the stigmatization of persons with obesity. Overweight bias among HCPs may negatively impact health care and health outcomes. Rodger's evolutionary method was used to guide this concept analysis. The databases CINAHL Plus with Full Text, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, MEDLINE, and PsycINFO were searched. The analysis provided clarification of the concept to facilitate HCP self-awareness of overweight bias. A definition of the concept of overweight bias among HCPs is provided along with its attributes, antecedents, and consequences.
