Integrating gender-inclusive care into nursing education is essential for preparing students to provide culturally sensitive, respectful, and equitable care, promoting a more inclusive healthcare system. However, despite increasing discussions on gender diversity, it remains unclear how extensively gender diverse content is included in undergraduate nursing curricula.
To identify and synthesise research that has been undertaken on gender diversity in nursing undergraduate curricula.
A scoping review using the methodology described by Arksey and O'Malley, and Peters et al. Five databases (Joanna Briggs Institute EBP database; CINAHL; Medline; Proquest Nursing and Allied Health database; ERIC) were searched for worldwide literature in English that addressed gender diversity, transgender and undergraduate nursing education. Retrieved citations were uploaded into Covidence and a two-stage screening process (titles and abstracts; full text) undertaken by two independent reviewers.
Twenty-five articles were included with most using quantitative methodology (19) and originating from the USA (19) and six in the rest of the world. Fourteen studies were published since 2021. Although there was wide variation in the amount and type of included content, nursing academics and students agreed on the importance and scarcity of gender diverse content in undergraduate curricula with eight studies stating gender diverse content, if included, was effective in increasing students' knowledge and comfort in providing care to gender diverse individuals.
This scoping review highlights the importance of addressing the needs of gender diverse individuals in healthcare. It reveals that integrating gender diversity education in nursing curricula positively impacts students' attitudes and knowledge, emphasising the need for comprehensive training. However, there remains a significant gap in literature, underscoring the necessity for further research to enhance gender diverse-sensitive nursing care and normalise discussions around inclusion in education.
将性别包容护理纳入护理教育对于培养学生提供具有文化敏感性、尊重和平等的护理至关重要，有助于推动建立更具包容性的医疗保健系统。然而，尽管关于性别多样性的讨论日益增多，但本科护理课程中性别多样化内容的涵盖程度仍不明确。
识别并综合有关本科护理课程中性别多样性的研究。
采用阿克西和奥马利以及彼得斯等人描述的方法进行范围综述。在五个数据库（乔安娜·布里格斯循证医学数据库；护理学与健康领域数据库；医学文献数据库；Proquest护理及相关健康数据库；教育资源信息中心）中检索全球范围内以英文发表的涉及性别多样性、跨性别者和本科护理教育的文献。检索到的文献记录上传至Covidence，由两名独立评审员进行两阶段筛选过程（标题和摘要；全文）。
纳入25篇文章，大多数采用定量方法（19篇），且大多来自美国（19篇），其余6篇来自世界其他地区。自2021年以来发表了14项研究。尽管所涵盖内容的数量和类型差异很大，但护理学者和学生一致认为本科课程中性别多样化内容很重要且稀缺，有8项研究表明，若纳入性别多样化内容，可有效增加学生为性别多样化个体提供护理时的知识和舒适度。
这项范围综述凸显了在医疗保健中满足性别多样化个体需求的重要性。研究表明，将性别多样性教育纳入护理课程对学生的态度和知识有积极影响，强调了进行全面培训的必要性。然而，文献中仍存在重大差距，这凸显了进一步开展研究以加强对性别多样化敏感的护理并使教育中的包容性讨论常态化的必要性。
