The purpose of this population-focused educational strategy was to improve knowledge and attitudes of senior-level baccalaureate nursing students regarding LGBTQ health. Surveys were conducted to assess achievement in learning objectives: (a) understanding the prevalence and impact of health disparities among individuals who identify as LGBTQ, (b) understanding the ways to provide effective support for individuals who identify as LGBTQ, (c) identification of ways to engage with individuals who identify as LGBTQ in an active partnership for health promotion. The majority of students responded to survey questions acknowledging that communication skills and style changed as a result of the innovation, new or advanced knowledge was obtained and a better awareness upon which to base decisions/actions in the practice setting was gained. All health-care professionals are encouraged to practice open-mindedness and should welcome opportunities to be educated on best practice related to care of LGBTQ individuals.
这一以人群为重点的教育策略旨在提高护理学学士学位高年级学生对 LGBTQ 健康问题的知识水平和态度。开展了调查以评估学习目标的达成情况：(a) 了解自我认同为 LGBTQ 的人群中健康差异的普遍性和影响，(b) 了解为自我认同为 LGBTQ 的人群提供有效支持的方法，(c) 确定与自我认同为 LGBTQ 的人群建立积极的健康促进伙伴关系的方式。大多数学生对调查问卷做出回应，承认由于这一创新举措，沟通技巧和方式发生了改变，获得了新的或更深入的知识，并且在实践环境中做出决策/采取行动时有了更好的认知基础。鼓励所有医疗保健专业人员保持开放的心态，并应乐于接受有关 LGBTQ 人群护理最佳实践的教育机会。
