Under what conditions do lesbians disclose their sexual orientation to primary healthcare providers? A review of the literature was undertaken to answer this question and to provide insight into the ways healthcare professionals can play an active role assisting their lesbian patients in "coming out." Thirty empirical studies met the inclusion criteria and were reviewed. Collectively, these separate studies have found that a myriad of internal (patient attributes) and external (healthcare context, patient-provider relationship) factors influence disclosure. The discussion highlights the critical role of healthcare professionals in supporting disclosure.
女同性恋者在何种情况下会向初级医疗服务提供者披露其性取向？为回答这个问题并深入了解医疗专业人员如何在帮助女同性恋患者 “出柜” 方面发挥积极作用，我们进行了文献综述。三十项实证研究符合纳入标准并被纳入综述。总体而言，这些独立研究发现，众多内部因素（患者特征）和外部因素（医疗环境、医患关系）会影响披露行为。讨论突出了医疗专业人员在支持披露方面的关键作用。
