OVERVIEW: Pregnancy related deaths have been steadily increasing in the United States and disproportionately affecting the Black community. Healthcare professionals can benefit from identifying and responding to implicit and unconscious bias to support their patients and advance equitable care. Simulation creates a unique opportunity to explore the effects of bias on patient outcomes and advocate for safe care for all. REGISTER
OBJECTIVES:
- Explain the principles of Design Thinking and Collaborative Development in order to use the process to guide creation of future simulations addressing complex topics such as structural racism and health inequities
- Demonstrate three educational methods to promote awareness of implicit bias for incorporation into existing perinatal nursing simulation curricula
- Evaluate the effect of implicit and unconscious bias on perinatal health outcomes, with a focus on Black people’s perinatal health
