Canadian, US, and UK public health and clinical research has identified barriers to health service access for Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, non-binary, and intersex (2SLGBTQ+) communities. While offering important insight into the health service experiences of 2SLGBTQ+ communities, this body of research only recently, and still only minimally, reports on home care access experiences. Drawing on key findings from the 2SLGBTQ+ Home Care Access Project, a mixed-methods, Ontario-wide study, this paper animates an Access and Equity Framework, using participant stories and perspectives to underscore the relevance and effectiveness of the Framework as a tool to support systematic organizational assessment, evaluation, and implementation of access and equity strategies. Home care organizations can use this tool to assess their programs and services along a continuum of intentionally inviting, unintentionally inviting, unintentionally disinviting, and intentionally disinviting care for 2SLGBTQ+ people. To support this process, the framework includes six indicators of access to care: community engagement, leadership, environment, policies and processes, education and training, and programs and services.
加拿大、美国和英国的公共卫生和临床研究已经确定了双灵、女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别、酷儿、非二元和间性(2SLGBTQ+)群体获得卫生服务的障碍。虽然这些研究为 2SLGBTQ+社区的卫生服务体验提供了重要的见解,但直到最近,它们才开始仅最小程度地报告家庭护理的获得经验。本论文借鉴了安大略省 2SLGBTQ+家庭护理获得项目的主要研究结果,这是一项混合方法的全省性研究,利用参与者的故事和观点来突出该框架的相关性和有效性,作为支持系统的组织评估、评估和实施获得和公平战略的工具。家庭护理组织可以使用此工具,根据其计划和服务,沿着有意邀请、无意邀请、无意拒绝和有意拒绝为 2SLGBTQ+人群提供护理的连续体进行评估。为了支持这一过程,该框架包括六个护理获得指标:社区参与、领导力、环境、政策和流程、教育和培训以及计划和服务。
