Using a Social Justice Lens in Nursing: Intersectionalizing Person-Centered Care With Transgender and Non-Binary
Abstract:
Transgender and non-binary patients are greatly impacted by political initiatives intended to diminish their rights, including the right to access to gender-affirming medical care. Nurses who provide Person-centered Care (PCC) are uniquely positioned to honor their patients' rights and humanity. PCC is an important component of building trust with transgender and non-binary patients, but honoring their humanity fully and comprehensively requires an intersectional approach. To build trust, the authors suggest that a paradigm that interweaves PCC with intersectionality promotes social justice for transgender and non-binary patients.
