Transgender and nonbinary (TGNB) people experience inequities in health care access, quality, and outcomes. Health care professionals' lack of knowledge and biased attitudes toward gender minorities contribute to inequitable care.
This study examined the effect of TGNB health education on nursing students' knowledge and attitudes about caring for TGNB clients.
A quasi-experimental study using a one-group pretest/posttest design was conducted with 46 nursing students at 2 private baccalaureate nursing programs.
A paired-samples t test found a significant increase in knowledge about caring for TGNB clients at posttest ( P = .02). Attitudes toward caring for TGNB clients showed a significant improvement in the Sex and Gender Beliefs subscale at posttest ( P = .014).
The findings suggest that TGNB health education is effective for inclusion in nursing curricula to better prepare nurses to care for gender-diverse clients.
跨性别者和非二元性别者(TGNB)在医疗保健的可及性、质量和结果方面存在不平等。医疗保健专业人员对性别少数群体的知识匮乏和偏见态度导致了不平等的护理。
本研究旨在探讨 TGNB 健康教育对护理学生照顾 TGNB 患者的知识和态度的影响。
采用 2 所私立学士学位护理项目的 46 名护理学生的单组前后测设计进行了一项准实验研究。
配对样本 t 检验发现,在后测时,对照顾 TGNB 患者的知识有显著提高(P =.02)。在照顾 TGNB 患者的态度方面,性与性别信念分量表在后测时显示出显著改善(P =.014)。
研究结果表明,将 TGNB 健康教育纳入护理课程是有效的,有助于更好地培养护士照顾性别多样化的患者。
