BACKGROUND
There are limited training opportunities for healthcare professionals focused on the supportive care needs of sexual and gender minority (SGM) patients. SGM prostate cancer survivors have unique physical, psychosocial, and sexual needs that often go unaddressed due to lack of provider understanding of those needs.
METHODS
To inform the development of a training and companion materials for healthcare professionals to fill this gap, the authors conducted formative research to assess the needs of target learners and SGM patients. Formative research included a survey and focus group of oncology social workers, and interviews with SGM prostate cancer survivors.
RESULTS
Survey respondents indicated SGM patients deserved the same quality care as heterosexual, cisgender patients; however, one-third indicated they were not well informed regarding health needs of SGM people. Focus group themes included differing social support structures for SGM people and the need for healthcare professional training. Patient interviews indicated a need for SGM-specific training of healthcare professionals.
CONCLUSION
There is a need for ongoing education and training among healthcare professionals to meet the needs of SGM prostate cancer survivors.
背景
针对医疗保健专业人员，专注于性少数和性别少数（SGM）患者支持性护理需求的培训机会有限。SGM前列腺癌幸存者有独特的身体、心理社会和性需求，由于医疗服务提供者对这些需求缺乏了解，这些需求往往得不到满足。
方法
为了为医疗保健专业人员开发培训及配套材料以填补这一空白，作者进行了形成性研究，以评估目标学习者和SGM患者的需求。形成性研究包括对肿瘤社会工作者的调查和焦点小组讨论，以及对SGM前列腺癌幸存者的访谈。
结果
调查受访者表示，SGM患者应获得与异性恋、顺性别患者相同质量的护理；然而，三分之一的受访者表示，他们对SGM人群的健康需求了解不足。焦点小组讨论的主题包括SGM人群不同的社会支持结构以及对医疗保健专业人员培训的需求。患者访谈表明，需要对医疗保健专业人员进行SGM特定培训。
结论
医疗保健专业人员需要持续接受教育和培训，以满足SGM前列腺癌幸存者的需求。
