| Summary: | 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. |
