It has been shown that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) patients are not able to receive the health care they need due to in part homophobia among health care providers. The aim of this study is to determine the attitudes toward LGBT people by medical school faculty members, the educators of the health care providers.
The study was designed as cross-sectional, using the Hudson-Ricketts homophobia scale and a questionnaire prepared by the researchers and conducted in two different medical schools.
A medium level of homophobia was found among the faculty of medical schools. A greater tendency to homophobia was found in men, assistant professors, those working at the university smaller in size, and those think who believe that there is no discrimination against LGBT students.
Recognizing homophobic attitudes of medical faculty and lack of LGBT health issues in the medical curriculum are problems needing resolution.
研究表明,由于部分医护人员存在恐同现象,同性恋、双性恋、跨性别(LGBT)患者无法获得他们所需的医疗保健。本研究的目的是确定医学院校教职员工,即医疗保健提供者的教育者对 LGBT 人群的态度。
该研究采用横断面设计,使用 Hudson-Ricketts 恐同量表和由研究人员编制的问卷,在两所不同的医学院进行。
医学院校教职员工中存在中等程度的恐同现象。男性、助理教授、在规模较小的大学工作的人员以及认为没有针对 LGBT 学生的歧视的人员,更倾向于恐同。
认识到医学教师的恐同态度以及医学课程中缺乏 LGBT 健康问题是需要解决的问题。
