Instructional bias--awareness and reduction in perioperative education.
Full Abstract
Through the use of instructional materials, perioperative educators provide education to staff members, physicians, patients, and family members. Although accrediting bodies and scholars have addressed the importance of diversity in patient assessment and nursing care, there has been little discussion regarding how instructional materials incorporate cultural, age, and gender diversity. This article defines bias and explores six forms of instructional bias. Suggestions are offered on ways to reduce or eliminate bias in instructional materials.
