The research aims to understand the factors influencing nursing students' attitudes towards the LGBTI community, given the importance of culturally competent and inclusive care in healthcare.
A descriptive and relationship-seeking design was used. The study was completed by 386 nursing students. Data were collected with "Personal Information Form, LGBTI Attitude Scale (LGBTI-AS) and Toronto Empathy Scale (TEQ)". Hierarchical regression analysis was used to identify predictors of attitudes towards LGBTI individuals among nursing students.
The total mean score of the Awareness to LGBTI Attitude Scale was 2.47 ± 1.0 (moderate attitudes). The findings revealed that female students and senior nursing students exhibited more positive attitudes, while those with friendships with LGBTI individuals and higher empathy levels showed greater acceptance and understanding towards the LGBTI community (p < 0.001). The results showed that 22 % of the total variance in the LGBTI attitude could be explained in model 3 (F = 27.43, R2 variation = 0.224, p = 0.001).
The study highlights the importance of integrating LGBTI-related content into nursing curricula and promoting empathy-building activities. These findings underscore the significance of empathy in shaping positive attitudes and emphasize the need for comprehensive educational strategies to promote inclusivity in healthcare.
鉴于在医疗保健中提供文化上胜任和包容的护理至关重要,本研究旨在了解影响护理学生对 LGBTI 群体态度的因素。
采用描述性和关系寻求设计。共有 386 名护理学生完成了这项研究。数据采集使用“个人信息表、LGBTI 态度量表(LGBTI-AS)和多伦多同理心量表(TEQ)”。使用分层回归分析来确定护理学生对 LGBTI 个体态度的预测因素。
LGBTI 态度量表的总平均分得分为 2.47 ± 1.0(中等态度)。研究结果表明,女学生和高年级护理学生表现出更积极的态度,而与 LGBTI 个体有友谊关系且同理心水平较高的学生对 LGBTI 群体表现出更大的接受和理解(p<0.001)。结果表明,在模型 3 中,LGBTI 态度的总方差可以解释 22%(F=27.43,R2 变异=0.224,p=0.001)。
该研究强调将与 LGBTI 相关的内容纳入护理课程以及促进同理心建设活动的重要性。这些发现强调了同理心在塑造积极态度方面的重要性,并强调需要综合教育策略来促进医疗保健中的包容性。
