The review aimed to examine the views and experiences of ageing gender and sexually diverse (GSD) women-a triple minority in relation to their age, gender and sexual orientation-in accessing health, social and aged care services. Eighteen peer reviewed articles identified from seven electronic databases in health and social sciences were evaluated according to predefined criteria and a thematic review methodology drawing upon socio-ecological theory was used to analyse and interpret the findings. Four major themes were identified from the analysis: "The Dilemma of Disclosure", "Belonging/Connection", "Inclusiveness of Aged Care" and "Other Barriers to Access Care". In the dilemma of disclosure, older GSD women consider factors such as previous experiences, relationship with the provider and anticipated duration of stay with the provider before disclosing their sexual identifies. The review also revealed that aged care services lack inclusiveness in their policies, advertising materials, aged care spaces and provider knowledge and attitude to provide sensitive and appropriate care to GSD women. Overall, older GSD women experience multiple and multilevel challenges when accessing health, aged and social services and interventions are needed at all levels of the socio-ecological arena to improve their access and quality of care.
本次综述旨在探讨在获取健康、社会和老年护理服务方面,处于年龄、性别和性取向三重少数地位的老龄化性别和性多样化(GSD)女性——即老年、跨性别和双性恋女性——的观点和经验。从健康和社会科学的七个电子数据库中确定了 18 篇同行评审文章,根据预先确定的标准进行评估,并采用基于社会生态学理论的主题审查方法来分析和解释研究结果。分析确定了四个主要主题:“披露的困境”、“归属感/联系”、“老年护理的包容性”和“获得护理的其他障碍”。在披露的困境中,年长的 GSD 女性会考虑之前的经历、与提供者的关系以及与提供者相处的预期时间等因素,然后再披露自己的性身份。该综述还表明,老年护理服务在其政策、广告材料、老年护理空间以及提供者的知识和态度方面缺乏包容性,无法为 GSD 女性提供敏感和适当的护理。总体而言,年长的 GSD 女性在获取健康、老年和社会服务方面面临着多种多层次的挑战,需要在社会生态学各个层面采取干预措施,以改善她们的护理可及性和质量。
