Abstract EN
The 13 million nurses worldwide constitute most of the global healthcare workforce and are uniquely positioned to engage with others to address disparities in healthcare to achieve the goal of better health for all.
A new vision for nurses involves active participation and collaboration with international colleagues across research practice and policy domains.
Nursing can embrace new concepts and a new approach—“One World, One Health”—to animate nursing engagement in global health, as it is uniquely positioned to participate in novel ways to improve healthcare for the well-being of the global community.
This opinion paper takes a historical and reflective approach to inform and inspire nurses to engage in global health practice, research, and policy to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
It can be argued that a colonial perspective currently informs scholarship pertaining to nursing global health engagement.
The notion of unidirectional relationships where those with resources support training of those less fortunate has dominated the framing of nursing involvement in low- and middle-income countries.
This paper suggests moving beyond this conceptualization to a more collaborative and equitable approach that positions nurses as cocreators and brokers of knowledge.
We propose two concepts, reverse innovation and two-way learning, to guide global partnerships where nurses are active participants.
