Abstract
Unconscious (implicit) biases are automatic, normal, learned stereotypes that develop over time and are deeply ingrained. Substantial evidence reveals that unconscious biases held by healthcare providers affect interactions and decision-making, particularly in high-stress situations, and contribute to healthcare disparities. Becoming aware of our own unconscious bias and utilizing strategies to minimize these attitudes and feelings can positively impact patient care. This article outlines unconscious bias in healthcare and nursing and its relation to caring. Strategies are suggested for clinical nursing instructors (CNIs) to provide education to student nurses that promotes awareness.
