ABSTRACT
Introduction: Implicit bias affects patient-nurse interactions and care management decisions. The purpose of this educational project was to explore faculty perceptions of engaging students in active learning to address implicit bias using videos vignettes. Method: Three videos were created with a corresponding instructor guide. The vignettes depicted insensitive behaviors, best practice clinical interactions, and a reflection about bias in health care. Faculty who implemented the active learning strategy were invited to complete an online, confidential survey regarding their perceptions. Results: Most faculty (83%) agreed that students benefit from discussing implicit bias using an active learning approach. All faculty (N = 12) believed the videos and instructor guide to be effective tools in creating meaningful discussion. Discussion: Video vignettes illustrating insensitive behaviors and demonstrating best practice enable faculty to actively engage students in addressing the impact of implicit bias. Educational strategies intended to ensure equitable care are indicated to support positive patient outcomes.
