The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) summons nurse educators to address health care inequities by preparing leaders who advocate for vulnerable groups. A lack of academic guidelines promoting cultural competence in nursing with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and/or questioning, intersex, and asexual and/or aromantic (LGBTQIA+) individuals exist. The purpose of this study was to develop a learning module for health care providers about best practices in LGBTQIA+ health informed by key stakeholders.
Exploratory qualitative design utilized focus group methodology obtaining stakeholder's views on LGBTQIA+ health, with a convenience sample recruited from a large public university. Focus group thematic analysis informed development of the learning module.
Three overarching themes emerged from focus group discussions ( = 31): appropriate terminology, health disparities, and respectful communication.
This project addresses an educational gap in nursing curriculum using an interactive online module, introducing key concepts about LGBTQIA+ health. Future research focused on the development of standards of care for LGBTQIA+ individuals can support inclusion and reduce discrimination in health care settings.
美国护理学院协会（AACN）呼吁护理教育工作者通过培养倡导弱势群体的领导者来解决医疗保健中的不平等问题。目前缺乏在护理专业中促进与女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别、酷儿和/或疑问、间性人和无性恋和/或无性恋者（LGBTQIA+）相关的文化能力的学术指导方针。本研究的目的是根据主要利益相关者的意见，为医疗保健提供者制定关于 LGBTQIA+健康的最佳实践学习模块。
采用探索性定性设计，利用焦点小组方法从一所大型公立大学的便利样本中获取利益相关者对 LGBTQIA+健康的看法。焦点小组的主题分析为学习模块的开发提供了信息。
焦点小组讨论产生了三个总体主题（n = 31）：适当的术语、健康差距和尊重的沟通。
本项目使用互动式在线模块解决了护理课程中的教育差距，介绍了有关 LGBTQIA+健康的关键概念。未来专注于制定 LGBTQIA+个人护理标准的研究可以支持在医疗保健环境中的包容性并减少歧视。
