Abstract:
The purpose of this population-focused educational strategy was to improve knowledge and attitudes of senior-level baccalaureate nursing students regarding LGBTQ health. Surveys were conducted to assess achievement in learning objectives: (a) understanding the prevalence and impact of health disparities among individuals who identify as LGBTQ, (b) understanding the ways to provide effective support for individuals who identify as LGBTQ, (c) identification of ways to engage with individuals who identify as LGBTQ in an active partnership for health promotion. The majority of students responded to survey questions acknowledging that communication skills and style changed as a result of the innovation, new or advanced knowledge was obtained and a better awareness upon which to base decisions/actions in the practice setting was gained. All health-care professionals are encouraged to practice open-mindedness and should welcome opportunities to be educated on best practice related to care of LGBTQ individuals.
