Objectives:
The aim of this review was to gain an overview of existing empirical literature examining LGBTIQ+ content in undergraduate nursing curricula.
Design:
An international scoping review was conducted using librarian assisted search strategies.
Data Sources:
The databases CINAHL, SCOPUS and ERIC were searched. A total of 30 studies meeting the eligibility criteria were included in this review.
Review Methods:
Following a quality appraisal, thematic analysis was conducted to identify six key themes.
Results:
30 studies spanning 8 countries, across 5 continents were included in this review. 6 themes emerged 1) Level of Knowledge Regarding LGBTIQ+ People and Their Specific Health Needs, 2) Comfort and Preparedness in the Provision of Care to LGBTIQ+ People, 3) Attitudes Toward LGBTIQ+ People, 4) Inclusion of LGBTIQ+ Educational Content, 5) Framing of LGBTIQ+ Educational Content, 6) Pedagogical Strategies to Incorporate LGBTIQ+ Content.
Conclusions:
Nurse education is dominated by heteronormativity, deficit discourses, stereotypes, binary ideologies and western cultural perspectives. The body of literature surrounding LGBTIQ+ content in nurse education is largely quantitative, insular and contributes to the erasure of unique identities under the LGBTIQ+ umbrella.
