INDIANAPOLIS—The latest title from Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing (Sigma) seeks to inspire through essays, action items, discussion points, and crucial data together to highlight the top 10 most relevant issues facing the nursing profession today. Authors Susan B. Hassmiller and Gaea A. Daniel recruited nearly 70 top leaders and change-makers in nursing to contribute essays based on evidence and lived experiences about health equity, education reform, diversity and mentorship, and more.
Unlike other leadership texts, Taking Action: Top 10 Priorities to Promote Health Equity and Well-Being in Nursing is both practical and easy to read while it addresses the top issues and priorities in nursing. It will equip readers to move beyond conversation to actively pursue solutions.
Author Susan B. Hassmiller said, “Nurses are the backbone of any healthcare system; thus, they have the greatest opportunity and responsibility to ensure all in their care have a fair and just opportunity for good health.”
Gaea A. Daniel added, “While racism and health equity are not new concepts, the pandemic-related shutdowns forced Americans to observe and acknowledge the often unspoken, unseen inequities and atrocities based on racism, from interpersonal to systemic. The intimate connection that nurses possess with health and the community make it vital for the nursing profession to acknowledge its role in health inequities and to learn how to do and be better.”
