    Insights

    Pediatric nurses who received LGBTQ education showed improved knowledge and positive attitudes toward caring for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning patients. This training can help reduce healthcare disparities for LGBTQ individuals.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Nursing
    • Health Equity
    • LGBTQ Healthcare

    Background:

    • Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) patients and families face healthcare barriers due to stigma.
    • Pediatric settings experience similar health inequities, with limited research on pediatric nurses' preparedness.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of an evidence-based education program on pediatric nurses' knowledge and attitudes regarding LGBTQ patient care.

    Main Methods:

    • An electronic, evidence-based education program on LGBTQ patient care was delivered to pediatric nurses.
    • A pre- and posttest design using online questionnaires assessed changes in knowledge and attitudes.

    Main Results:

    • Significant improvement in nurses' knowledge regarding LGBTQ patient care was observed (p = .02).
    • Attitudes towards LGBTQ concepts remained positive or showed a positive shift post-education.

    Conclusions:

    • LGBTQ patient care education enhances pediatric nurses' knowledge and attitudes.
    • Expanding this education can mitigate healthcare barriers and inequities for LGBTQ patients and their families.
