Extensive research on the specific needs and concerns of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) older adults is lacking. This article describes the results of both quantitative studies (i.e., LGBT Elders Needs Assessment Scale) and qualitative studies (i.e., focus groups and in-depth interviews with lesbian, gay, or bisexual [LGB] older adults and LGB grandparents) that specifically sought to investigate the unique needs and concerns of LGBT elders. The results identified 7 areas (medical/health care, legal, institutional/housing, spiritual, family, mental health, and social) of concern and the recognition that the needs and concerns of LGBT older adults be addressed across multiple domains, rather than in isolation.
针对女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和跨性别(LGBT)老年人的特定需求和担忧,目前缺乏广泛的研究。本文介绍了定量研究(即LGBT老年人需求评估量表)和定性研究(即焦点小组以及对女同性恋、男同性恋或双性恋[LGB]老年人和LGB祖父母的深入访谈)的结果,这些研究专门旨在调查LGBT老年人的独特需求和担忧。研究结果确定了7个关切领域(医疗/保健、法律、机构/住房、精神、家庭、心理健康和社会),并认识到LGBT老年人的需求和担忧需要在多个领域得到解决,而不是孤立地解决。
