title = "Using Design Thinking to Thread the Social Determinants of Health in an Undergraduate Curriculum",
abstract = "The Future of Nursing Report 2020-20301 calls for nursing education to integrate the social determinants of health (SDoH) in the curriculum to prepare future nurses to take an active role in identifying and addressing health inequities. Nurse faculty and schools of nursing face multiple challenges that pose as barriers to meet this demand. These challenges include a crowded curriculum, lack of a coherent curricular framework, and a dearth of evidence-based teaching strategies to ensure that concepts on SDoH, health equity, and social justice are seamlessly integrated in the nursing curriculum.",

note = "Funding Information: We used Design Thinking (DT) as a framework to prepare prelicensure nursing students to be creative thinkers and problem solvers and to understand how SDoH contribute to health inequities. Design Thinking is a human-centered problem-solving approach to innovation that includes the phases of Empathy, Problem Definition, Ideation, Prototyping, and Testing. We received funding from The Rita Hillman and Alex Foundation to integrate DT in the curriculum by weaving the DT phases into select required undergraduate courses over a 4-semester period. This article describes how we integrated SDoH, social justice, and health equity as core components of DT over a 4-semester nursing sequence baccalaureate nursing program.
