The transgender population experience mental health disparities as a result of numerous environmental, sociocultural and personal factors. Health care-related discrimination plays an unfortunate role in these disparities. The institutional and informational erasure of transgender individuals in health care actively contributes to this discrimination. The lack of preparation of health care professionals to care for this population is a significant factor. There is an absence of education on transgender topics in nursing school and a lack of nursing research on this population. An awareness through education of culturally competent transgender terminology is crucial to ensure a transinclusive environment is created. The creation of a transinclusive environment in the mental health care setting will ultimately lead to improved patient outcomes.
由于众多环境、社会文化和个人因素,跨性别群体面临心理健康差异。与医疗保健相关的歧视在这些差异中扮演了不幸的角色。医疗保健机构对跨性别者的制度性和信息性抹杀积极促成了这种歧视。医疗保健专业人员缺乏照顾这一群体的准备是一个重要因素。护理学校缺乏关于跨性别主题的教育,且针对这一群体的护理研究也不足。通过教育提高对具有文化能力的跨性别术语的认识,对于确保营造一个包容跨性别者的环境至关重要。在心理健康护理环境中营造一个包容跨性别者的环境最终将改善患者的治疗效果。
