Aim:
The purpose of the study was to examine how the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community (LGBT) population is represented and portrayed in mainstream obstetrical nursing courses, curricula, textbook, and syllabi.
Background:
Researchers have indicated that LGBT patients are often dissatisfied with their health care experiences because of the limited training received by nursing professionals.
Method:
This study employed a qualitative, intrinsic case study research method. Qualitative data were collected via document reviews and unstructured interviews with open-ended questions. The data were analyzed by theme analysis and constant comparison.
Results:
Data analysis indicated that nurse faculty are not knowledgeable about LGBT obstetrical health issues and how to incorporate LGBT issues into the curriculum.
Conclusion:
There is a critical need for faculty development on how to infuse information on LGBT content in obstetrics curricula.
