Abstract
BackgroundThe recent push to “decolonize nursing” has become a critical movement to address institutional racism, but the term has circulated through nursing circles enough to risk becoming a buzzword. PurposeThis article clarifies “decolonizing nursing” by addressing the following questions: (a) How has “decolonizing nursing” been discussed in nursing research? (b) What specific projects have been implemented to decolonize nursing? (c) How has decolonizing nursing been related to health equity? MethodWe conducted a scoping review and searched CINAHL, PubMed, and PsycINFO databases. FindingsA total of N = 56 records were included. “Decolonization” has referred to a range of ideas related to challenging and resisting Western and European dominance and de-centering Whiteness. DiscussionNursing researchers should collaborate with Indigenous communities and people of color not only to diversify their syllabi, but also to determine ways to redistribute material resources and better understand colonialism's historical context and impact.
