Sexual and gender minority people have unique, unaddressed healthcare needs following prostate cancer. The research team along with a group of established subject matter experts developed a training and companion materials for healthcare professionals to address this need. Post-assessment evaluation was reported in frequencies and percentages by combining results from learners who attended an original, live web-based training and learners who completed the same training on-demand via a Learning Management System. Learners from both the live and archived training reported that the training increased their knowledge to effectively work with sexual and gender minority prostate cancer survivors. Learners also reported gaining new resources and strategies they could apply to their work. Results indicate the training fills an educational gap for healthcare professionals and supports the need for additional training of healthcare professionals focused on the healthcare needs of SGM cancer survivors.
性少数群体和跨性别者在前列腺癌治疗后存在独特且未得到满足的医疗保健需求。该研究团队与一组资深的专题专家合作，为医疗保健专业人员开发了培训和配套材料，以满足这一需求。通过将参加原始在线直播培训的学习者和通过学习管理系统按需完成相同培训的学习者的结果相结合，按频率和百分比报告了评估后的结果。来自直播和存档培训的学习者都报告称，培训提高了他们与性少数群体和跨性别前列腺癌幸存者有效合作的知识水平。学习者还报告说，他们获得了可以应用于工作的新资源和策略。结果表明，该培训填补了医疗保健专业人员的教育空白，并支持对专注于性少数群体和跨性别癌症幸存者医疗保健需求的医疗保健专业人员进行更多培训的需求。
