    Summary

    One in ten healthcare professionals have witnessed colleagues express harmful, outdated views that lesbian, gay, or bisexual individuals can be "cured." This highlights significant challenges in achieving inclusive patient care and combating health disparities.

    Area of Science:

    • Health Services Research
    • Social Sciences
    • Medical Ethics

    Background:

    • Discrimination and prejudice against lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals persist in various societal domains.
    • Inclusive and affirming healthcare is crucial for the well-being of all patient populations.
    • Stigma within healthcare settings can deter individuals from seeking necessary medical and social support.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence of non-affirming attitudes among health and social care staff towards lesbian, gay, and bisexual patients.
    • To identify the extent to which healthcare professionals encounter colleagues expressing discriminatory views regarding sexual orientation.
    • To underscore the need for enhanced training and policy development to foster inclusive healthcare environments.

    • A survey was administered to a sample of health and social care staff involved in direct patient care.
    • Participants were asked about their experiences witnessing colleagues express specific discriminatory opinions.
    • Data were analyzed to determine the proportion of staff reporting such witnessed incidents.

    Main Results:

    • One in ten (10%) of surveyed health and social care staff reported witnessing a colleague express the belief that lesbian, gay, or bisexual people can be 'cured'.
    • This finding indicates a concerning level of internalized heteronormativity or explicit bias within a segment of the healthcare workforce.
    • The results suggest that discriminatory attitudes may be present and expressed within patient care settings.

    Conclusions:

    • A significant minority of healthcare professionals are exposed to or witness colleagues holding discriminatory views about sexual orientation.
    • These witnessed opinions challenge the principles of patient-centered, non-discriminatory care for lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals.
    • Urgent interventions, including comprehensive diversity and inclusion training, are necessary to address and eliminate such harmful attitudes in health and social care.
