Nurses can benefit from understanding social justice when evaluating health disparities and inequities in their congregations and communities. Health disparities are driven by social and economic inequities and affect mortality, morbidity, life expectancy, health care expenditures, healthcare systems, and overall health status. Learning to assess and manage Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) is essential to address and oversee the health of a faith community.
Learning outcomes:
1. Identify steps Faith Community Nursing (FCN’s) can take to improve health disparities.
2. List 3 actionable items to remedy health disparities, personally and systemically.
