Gender-Affirming Care in Nursing Education: Students' Perceptions, Knowledge, and Attitudes
International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, Paper presented at the International Conference on Research in Education and Science (ICRES) (Antalya, Turkey, Apr 27-30, 2024)
Discrimination and social determinants of health significantly affect patient care among transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people. The challenges that TGD people face within the healthcare setting are partially attributed to a lack of gender-affirming care education and training for health professionals. Although research is limited on gender-affirming care within nursing curricula, a study from McDowell et al. (2016) found that "of more than 1,000 baccalaureate nursing faculty in the United States indicated that nursing lags behind other health care professions in prioritizing transgender health education" (p. 476). Baccalaureate nursing programs dedicate an average of 2 hours to LGBT-related curricular content compared with schools of medicine, which dedicate an average of 5 hours (Lim et al., 2015). With nurses representing the largest segment of health professionals in the U.S., exploration of training and education of gender-affirming care within undergraduate nursing curricula may improve discrimination experienced by TGD people in the healthcare setting.
