Improving the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behavioral Intentions of Perinatal Care Providers Toward Childbearing
Background:
This study explores the impact of gender and sexuality awareness training on perinatal health care providers' (HCPs') knowledge, attitudes, and intended behavior toward childbearing individuals identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and/or queer (LGBTQ).
Method:
A nonrandom convenience sample of HCPs (n = 187) comprised an experimental group (n = 99) who attended grand rounds trainings covering gender and sexuality topics and a control group (n = 88) who attended sessions on other unrelated topics. All participants completed a pre-posttraining questionnaire to assess changes in knowledge, attitudes, and intended behavior toward LGBTQ patients.
Results:
Participants in the experimental group demonstrated significant improvement in knowledge, misconception, prejudice, sensitive language, and normativity regarding LGBTQ pregnant patients from pretest to posttest.
Conclusion:
These findings suggest that a 40-minute gender and sexuality training can immediately improve HCPs' knowledge, attitudes, and intended behavior toward LGBTQ childbearing patients. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2019;50(7):303-312.].
