Transgender people experience high rates of discrimination in health care settings, which is linked to decreases in physical and mental wellness. By increasing the number of nurses who are trained to deliver high-quality care to transgender patients, health inequities associated with provider discrimination can be mitigated. At present, baccalaureate nursing curricula do not adequately prepare nurses to care for transgender people, which is a shortcoming that has been attributed to limited teaching time and lack of guidance regarding new topics.
We developed transgender health content for students in a baccalaureate nursing program and used a student-faculty partnership model to integrate new content into the curriculum.
We incorporated new transgender health content into five required courses over three semesters.
We mitigated common barriers to developing and integrating new, diversity-related topics into a baccalaureate nursing curriculum. Added transgender health content was well received by students and faculty. [J Nurs Educ. 2016;55(8):476-479.].
跨性别者在医疗保健环境中遭受高比例的歧视,这与身心健康状况下降有关。通过增加接受过为跨性别患者提供高质量护理培训的护士数量,可以减轻与医疗服务提供者歧视相关的健康不平等现象。目前,护理学本科课程并未充分培养护士照顾跨性别者的能力,这一缺陷被归因于教学时间有限以及缺乏关于新主题的指导。
我们为护理学本科专业的学生开发了跨性别健康相关内容,并采用师生合作模式将新内容融入课程。
我们在三个学期内将新的跨性别健康内容纳入了五门必修课。
我们减轻了在护理学本科课程中开发和整合与多样性相关的新主题时遇到的常见障碍。新增的跨性别健康内容受到了学生和教师的好评。[《护理教育杂志》。2016年;55(8):476 - 479。]
