LGBTQIA+ Competence: A Pedagogical Paradigm Shift in Graduate Nursing Education
Graduate nursing education must include LGBTQIA+ health to improve health equity for sexual and gender diverse (SGD) individuals. An educational intervention significantly improved student competency in LGBTQIA+ health.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Health Equity
- LGBTQIA+ Health
Background:
- Omission of LGBTQIA+ content in nursing education leads to health disparities for sexual and gender diverse (SGD) individuals.
- SGD individuals experience poorer health and a 12-year shorter life expectancy compared to heteronormative counterparts.
Purpose of the Study:
- To improve health equity for SGD individuals.
- To enhance nursing students' competency in LGBTQIA+ health through an educational intervention and clinical immersion.
Main Methods:
- A two-credit elective course in LGBTQIA+ health was offered to 11 Masters of Nursing students.
- An optional academic-community-based clinical immersion in LGBTQIA+ health was integrated.
- Student knowledge, skills, and attitudes (competency) were measured pre- and post-course.
Main Results:
- Students demonstrated a 62% improvement in competency scores.
- 100% of participating students opted for the LGBTQIA+ clinical immersion experience.
Conclusions:
- Integrating LGBTQIA+ health content is essential for advancing health equity.
- Innovative approaches like clinical immersion can address educational gaps in LGBTQIA+ health within nursing curricula.
