[Recommendations to Nursing Practice with Sexual and Gender Diversity Older Adults : A Scoping Review]
Abstract:
Context : The elder population is growing up and sexual and gender diversity older adults (SGDOA) live discrimination from healthcare professionals. In this context, this scoping review sought to describe the extent of knowledge about nursing practice among SGDOA and to synthesize the implications for clinical nursing practice. Method : The scoping review method according to the framework of Peters et al. of the Joanna Briggs Institute has been adopted. Results : The recommendations were grouped into five axes : raising awareness of the existence of SGDOA, their historical context and their health problems ; refrain from heterocissexist and heterocisnormative assumptions by adopting an inclusive language and an open attitude ; support SGDOA and their caregivers or their family of choice ; create a safe and confidential environment ; and promote the inclusion of SGDOA in the health care system. Conclusion : The results could be used by nurses and other health professionals to optimize the quality of care for SGDOA and to promote their inclusion.
