Black population’s health in nursing training: students’ knowledge

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: OBJECTIVES: to analyze the knowledge of students and recent graduates of a nursing course about the black population's health. METHODS: an exploratory and cross-sectional study with nursing students and recent graduates from a public university in southeastern Brazil. Data were collected online with 63 participants. The Kruskal-Wallis test was performed for statistical analysis. RESULTS: there was little knowledge about the black population's health and the Brazilian National Policy for Comprehensive Black Population's Health. The approach to this topic in the nursing course is rare and mainly carried out in collective health curricular units, from a socio-historical perspective. CONCLUSIONS: students' low knowledge reveals the need for a greater approach to the black population's health in the nursing course, with a view to training centered on ethnic-racial relations and anti-racist practices.
