The impact of patients' social backgrounds assessment on nursing care: Qualitative research.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although nurses are expected to address the social determinants of health (SDH) in clinical settings, the perspectives of front-line nurses on the integration of SDH into their clinical practice remain unclear. Understanding the dynamism of this integration and its outcomes can yield crucial insights into effective nursing care. This study aims to elucidate the integration and adoption of tool-based SDH assessment nursing programs and their impacts on daily nursing care.

Methods
