This study evaluated the effects of a program designed to help students provide culturally competent care for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning/queer, intersex, plus (LGBTQI+) patients.
The LGBTQI+ community faces disparities linked to stigma and discrimination. The Advocacy™ Program was developed to supplement the curriculum in schools of nursing.
Nursing students from six schools of nursing (n = 1,398) received advocacy training. Students were administered the Genderism and Transphobia Scale, the Homonegativity Scale, and additional knowledge questions before and after training.
The findings were positive, indicating an increase in student attitude scores, vocabulary and disparity knowledge, and knowledge regarding care for an LGBTQI+ client (p < .05).
By building a culture of inclusion through recognition of diverse patients in the curriculum, nursing schools can develop a culture of connection that strengthens patient-provider relationships and improves mental and physical health.
本研究评估了一项旨在帮助学生为女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别、疑问/酷儿、间性人以及其他(LGBTQI+)患者提供文化能力护理的计划的效果。
LGBTQI+群体面临着与耻辱和歧视相关的差异。倡导计划是为了补充护理学校的课程而开发的。
来自六所护理学校的护理专业学生(n=1398)接受了倡导培训。在培训前后,学生们接受了性别主义和跨性别恐惧症量表、同性恋恐惧症量表以及其他知识问题的测试。
研究结果为阳性,表明学生的态度得分、词汇量和差异知识以及有关 LGBTQI+客户护理的知识有所增加(p<0.05)。
通过在课程中承认多样化的患者来建立包容文化,护理学校可以培养一种联系文化,从而加强医患关系,改善心理健康和身体健康。
