Ten self-identified lesbians were interviewed about their health care experiences. Analysis of the data from a grounded theory approach revealed four issues: health care providers' assumption of heterosexuality, reactions to coming out, lesbians' expectations of health care, and health-care-seeking behavior. It is the invisibility of lesbians in society that lends to the continued negative experiences lesbians relate. As health care professionals, we must assess our present practices and seek ways to improve the quality of care we offer to lesbians. Some recommendations for improving care to the lesbian community are made.
对十名自我认定的女同性恋者进行了关于她们医疗保健经历的访谈。采用扎根理论方法对数据进行分析后发现了四个问题：医疗保健提供者对异性恋的假设、出柜后的反应、女同性恋者对医疗保健的期望以及寻求医疗保健的行为。正是女同性恋者在社会中的隐形状态导致了她们持续遭遇负面经历。作为医疗保健专业人员，我们必须评估我们目前的做法，并寻求方法来提高我们为女同性恋者提供的护理质量。文中提出了一些改善对女同性恋群体护理的建议。
