  • Intersectional Approach

    An intersectional approach involves actively considering how multiple, interconnected factors influence a person’s health, well-being, and access to care. In nursing practice, this means recognizing and responding to the complex realities that affect clients' experiences, particularly those who face overlapping forms of oppression or marginalization. This approach supports more inclusive, equitable, and person-centered care.
