The purpose of this descriptive study is to report findings from a nationally representative mail-in survey of nursing home social service directors (n = 1,071) who were asked if they had received at least one hour of training in six different areas of cultural competency in the past five years. Of the six areas, the lowest percentage of directors reported having training in homophobia. Three-fourths of the sample had not received even one hour of homophobia training over the past five years. Directors who were more recently educated were more likely to report having received homophobia training, as were directors with a college degree, and those who worked in nursing homes located in the West and South regions of the United States. Directors with the most experience were less likely to report having received training. Findings call for immediate development and dissemination of heterosexism and homophobia training of social service staff, policy changes within the nursing home, and policy advocacy priorities for social workers.
本描述性研究的目的是报告一项全国性的养老院社会服务主任邮件调查的结果（n=1071），这些主任被问到在过去五年中是否接受过六个不同文化能力领域的至少一个小时的培训。在这六个领域中，报告接受过恐同培训的主任比例最低。四分之三的样本在过去五年中甚至没有接受过一个小时的恐同培训。最近受过教育的主任更有可能报告接受过恐同培训，具有本科学历的主任也是如此，以及那些在位于美国西部和南部地区的养老院工作的主任。经验最丰富的主任报告接受培训的可能性较小。调查结果呼吁立即为社会服务人员制定和传播异性恋和恐同培训、养老院内部政策变化以及社会工作者的政策倡导重点。
