TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - The effects of September 11 on Arab American nurses in metropolitan Detroit JO - Journal of transcultural nursing A1 - Kulwicki, Anahid A1 - Khalifa, Rose A1 - Moore, G. SP - 134 EP - 139 VL - 19 IS - 2 N2 - The purpose of this article is to determine the effects of 9/11 on Arab American nurses' workplace discrimination in the Detroit metropolitan area. Thirty-four Arab American nurses completed a survey about perceptions and experiences related to discrimination before and after the terror attacks on 9/11. Most participants did not experience demotion, but some experienced intimidation and patient rejection more often or with the same frequency following 9/11. September 11 continues to negatively affect Arab Americans in the work environment. Studies are needed to further examine the workplace discrimination relationship with specific health indicators for Arab Americans.
