This study aimed to examine the relationships between the demographic characteristics, knowledge, and attitude of health professional students toward lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) individuals.
A total of 860 undergraduate health professional students were enrolled in this analytical cross-sectional study.
The attitudes of health professional students toward LGBTI individuals are moderately positive. Some variables such as gender, faculty/department, mother's working status, having knowledge about LGBTI, having friends who are openly LGBTI, and thoughts about being an LGBTI explained 17.1 % of the variance in attitudes toward LGBTI individuals.
Since negative attitudes may prevent LGBTI individuals from receiving effective health care, courses that increase students' awareness of their own prejudices and knowledge of LGBTI health and communication should be integrated into undergraduate programs.
本研究旨在探讨医学生的人口统计学特征、知识水平和对男女同性恋、双性恋、跨性别、双性人和阴阳人（LGBTI）的态度之间的关系。
本分析性横断面研究共纳入 860 名本科医学生。
医学生对 LGBTI 个体的态度呈中等偏正。一些变量，如性别、学院/系、母亲的工作状态、对 LGBTI 的了解、有公开的 LGBTI 朋友以及对成为 LGBTI 的想法，可以解释对 LGBTI 个体的态度差异的 17.1%。
由于负面态度可能会阻止 LGBTI 个体获得有效的医疗保健，因此应将提高学生对自身偏见的认识以及 LGBTI 健康和沟通知识的课程纳入本科课程中。
