To describe the current state of cancer screening and uptake for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons and to propose cancer screening considerations for LGBT persons.
Current and historic published literature on cancer screening and LGBT cancer screening; published national guidelines.
Despite known cancer risks for members of the LGBT community, cancer screening rates are often low, and there are gaps in screening recommendations for LGBT persons. We propose evidence-based cancer screening considerations derived from the current literature and extant cancer screening recommendations.
The oncology nurse plays a key role in supporting patient preventive care and screening uptake through assessment, counseling, education, advocacy, and intervention. As oncology nurses become expert in the culturally competent care of LGBT persons, they can contribute to the improvement of quality of care and overall well-being of this health care disparity population.
描述女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和跨性别者(LGBT)的癌症筛查现状及接受情况,并提出针对LGBT人群的癌症筛查考量因素。
关于癌症筛查和LGBT癌症筛查的当前及历史已发表文献;已发布的国家指南。
尽管已知LGBT群体成员存在癌症风险,但癌症筛查率往往较低,且针对LGBT人群的筛查建议存在差距。我们提出基于当前文献和现有癌症筛查建议的循证癌症筛查考量因素。
肿瘤护士在通过评估、咨询、教育、宣传和干预来支持患者预防保健和筛查接受方面发挥关键作用。随着肿瘤护士成为LGBT人群文化胜任护理方面的专家,他们可以为改善这一医疗保健差距人群的护理质量和整体福祉做出贡献。
