abstract="This analysis is meant to elucidate the concept of structural violence and its  implications for nursing science and practice. The concept of structural violence,  also known as indirect violence, was first identified in the literature by peace  researcher Johan Galtung. According to Galtung, structural violence broadly  represents harm done to persons and groups through inequitable social, political, or  economic structures. Such inequitable structures, such as systemic discrimination  based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, etc. create  conditions within society that directly disadvantage and oppress members of certain  groups. This oppression can inflict profound physical, psychological, and  socioeconomic harm on individuals, leading to disparate health outcomes. Using  techniques for developing conceptual meaning as outlined in Chinn and Kramer (2018),  our analysis seeks to specify meanings and applications of structural violence for  application to nursing. This analysis draws on literature from clinical, historical,  and other social sciences. Databases including CINAHL, PubMed, JSTOR, and PsychInfo  were explored for references to structural violence. Structural violence is readily  identified in specific contexts where individuals or groups are disadvantaged by  socially constructed systems, such as those of race, gender, and economic privilege. Structural violence can result in health disparities and the development of  conditions that predispose individuals to health risks. Nurses must be familiar with  the concept to address these issues with patients.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
