虽然LGBT人群占美国人口的近10%，但许多临床医生对照顾这些性少数群体的知识不足。本研究旨在探讨护理专业学生对照顾LGBT人士的认知与态度。对190名护理专业学生进行了73项问卷调查。研究结果表明，显着的知识赤字，RN-BSN的学生更有知识和更积极的态度，提供LGBT医疗保健比其他学生。可能需要补充教学策略，以帮助学生在为LGBT个人提供护理方面变得更加舒适。
While LGBT individuals represent almost 10 percent of the population in the United States, many clinicians have inadequate knowledge to care for these sexual minority groups. The purpose of this study was to examine nursing students' knowledge of and attitudes toward providing care to LGBT individuals. A 73-item survey was administered to a sample of 190 nursing students. Findings indicated significant knowledge deficits, with RN-BSN students more knowledgeable and having more positive attitudes toward providing LGBT health care than other students. Supplementary teaching strategies may be needed to help students become more comfortable in providing care to LGBT individuals.
