Racial bias reinforces White Americans as normative, thereby contributing to limiting, slanting, or controlling information to students. Although racial bias has been documented in non-nursing textbooks, racial bias has never been researched in nursing textbooks.

520 $a Racial bias reinforces White Americans as normative, thereby contributing to limiting, slanting, or controlling information to students. Although racial bias has been documented in non-nursing textbooks, racial bias has never been researched in nursing textbooks.
520 $a The purpose of this study was to identify and critique selected content areas from three fundamental textbooks for the presence or absence of racial bias. Although textbooks are only one aspect of a curriculum, they are powerful instructional tools. The two research questions were: (1) What is the portrayal of African Americans in fundamental nursing textbooks? and (2) Is there a presence or absence of racial bias in fundamental nursing textbooks?
520 $a Critical hermeneutics guided the analysis of content addressing African Americans from three content areas: history, culture, and physical assessment/hygiene. A researcher-developed Framework for Content Analysis was used for collection of text, illustration, linguistic, and reference data. A thematic analysis was performed resulting in eleven themes capturing the portrayal of African Americans. Additionally, an interpretive analysis was done using categories of bias, theoretical, and literary contexts as sensitizing frameworks to detect racial bias. An expert panel of three nurse educators assisted in assessing the credibility of the findings and helped control researcher bias. Methodological rigor was addressed by using trustworthiness criteria of credibility, transferability, and dependability.
520 $a Eleven themes were identified. Important Persons was the single theme that emerged from the historical data. The seven themes that emerged from the content on culture were: Cultural Terms, Minority and Dominant Groups, Origins and Immigration, Health Practices, Biological Variations, Differences, and Social Organization, Family, and Matriarchy. Three themes that emerged from the physical assessment and hygiene data were Assessment and Care of American Hair, Assessment of Dark-Skinned Individuals, and Assessment of Nails, Mouth, and Eyes. Racial bias such as stereotyping, imbalance and selectivity, fragmentation, linguistic bias, unreality, and omissions were uncovered and discussed.
520 $a Findings from this study can be used to identify and reduce bias in instructional materials. Recommendations for faculty development, nursing curricula, textbooks, students, and nursing research are provided.
