The purpose of this concept analysis aims to bring awareness of the gender continuum to nurse educators and students and break down gender stereotypes.
Using the Walker and Avant concept analysis approach, this analysis is based on a transcultural nursing theory framework.
Gender continuum is an umbrella concept, accounting for components beyond how a person identifies. These components include how one conforms to gender roles, expresses gender outwardly, and anatomical or biological characteristics one possesses.
Nursing students must recognize gender alternatives beyond male and female to provide culturally competent care for transgender and gender nonconforming patients. The impact of this analysis can result in a better understanding of the gender continuum among nurse educators and the dissemination of knowledge to nursing students. Broader knowledge of this concept can lead to dissolution of gender binaries in health care and more culturally competent care provision for all patients.
本概念分析旨在提高护理教育者和学生对性别连续体的认识，并打破性别刻板印象。
本分析基于跨文化护理理论框架，采用沃克和阿凡特的概念分析方法。
性别连续体是一个总称，涵盖了一个人身份之外的诸多因素。这些因素包括一个人如何符合性别角色、如何表现出性别特征以及一个人所拥有的解剖学或生物学特征。
护理学生必须认识到除男性和女性之外的其他性别选择，以便为跨性别和性别不一致的患者提供文化上适宜的护理。这一分析的影响可以使护理教育者更好地理解性别连续体，并向护理学生传播知识。更广泛地了解这一概念可以导致在医疗保健中消除性别二元论，并为所有患者提供更具文化适应性的护理。
