Nurses provide care for lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) patients on regular basis, whether they know it or not. Education of health care workers routinely has excluded discussion of patient sexuality, rendering LGB patients invisible or stigmatized, and has offered few tools to nurses to provide quality care for their LGB patients with chronic illnesses. This chapter provides basic information about LGB chronic health care to increase awareness and sensitivity about this marginalized patient population and focuses on providing specific information to help nurses care for these individuals.
护士们经常为女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋(LGB)患者提供护理,无论她们是否意识到这一点。医护人员的培训通常不涉及对患者性取向的讨论,这使得LGB患者被忽视或受到污名化,并且几乎没有为护士提供工具,以便为患有慢性病的LGB患者提供优质护理。本章提供有关LGB慢性医疗保健的基本信息,以提高对这一边缘化患者群体的认识和敏感度,并着重提供具体信息,以帮助护士护理这些患者。
