Systemic biases can affect nursing professionals in various ways:
1. Career Advancement: Nurses from marginalized groups may face obstacles in career progression, such as biased evaluation processes and lack of mentorship opportunities.
2. Job Satisfaction: Experiencing or witnessing bias can lead to job dissatisfaction and burnout, particularly if nurses feel unsupported by their institutions.
3. Mental Health: Continuous exposure to systemic biases can have detrimental effects on the mental health of nurses, leading to issues like anxiety, depression, and stress.
