OBJECTIVE: To examine the differences in the levels of intention to care for gay and lesbian patients and knowledge regarding homosexuality among Taiwanese nurses between 2005 and 2017 and the moderators of these differences. DESIGN AND SAMPLE: This two-wave survey study was conducted on nurses in 2005 (N = 1,176; Survey 2005) and 2017 (N = 1,519; Survey 2017) recruited from three hospitals. MEASUREMENTS: An anonymous self-report questionnaire was used. RESULTS: In Survey 2017, the nurses expressed both a higher intention to care for gay and lesbian patients and degree of knowledge regarding homosexuality than did those in Survey 2005. The experience of providing care for gay or lesbian patients moderated the association between the time of the survey and intention to care for gay and lesbian patients. Moreover, having gay or lesbian friends or relatives moderated the association between the time of the survey and knowledge about homosexuality. CONCLUSIONS: Nurses' intention to care for gay and lesbian patients and knowledge regarding homosexuality in Taiwan significantly increased from 2005 to 2017. The experience of providing care for gay and lesbian patients and having gay or lesbian friends or relatives moderated the increase of nurses' intention to care and knowledge.
目的:考察 2005 年至 2017 年间,台湾护士对同性恋患者护理意愿水平和同性恋知识的差异,以及这些差异的调节因素。
设计和样本:这项两波调查研究于 2005 年(N=1176;调查 2005 年)和 2017 年(N=1519;调查 2017 年)从三所医院招募了护士。
测量:使用匿名自我报告问卷。
结果:在调查 2017 年,护士表示比调查 2005 年更愿意照顾同性恋患者,并且对同性恋的了解程度也更高。为同性恋患者提供护理的经验调节了调查时间与照顾同性恋患者意愿之间的关联。此外,有同性恋朋友或亲戚调节了调查时间与对同性恋知识之间的关联。
结论:台湾护士对同性恋患者的护理意愿和对同性恋知识的了解在 2005 年至 2017 年间显著增加。为同性恋患者提供护理的经验和有同性恋朋友或亲戚调节了护士照顾意愿和知识的增加。
