Area of Science:

  • Medical Ethics
  • Surgical Practice
  • Health Equity

Background:

  • Patient-centered care necessitates affirming communication, yet gender-inclusive language in surgery is inconsistently applied.
  • Inadequate training, time constraints, and lack of institutional policies hinder the use of gender-affirming language.
  • Misgendering can negatively impact patient mental health and the patient-provider relationship.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advocate for the universal adoption of gender-inclusive language in surgical settings.
  • To present a practical framework for integrating inclusive communication strategies.
  • To call for systemic changes in surgical education and institutional accountability.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on gender-inclusive language and patient-centered care.
  • Development of a practical framework with examples of neutral greetings and de-gendered anatomical terms.
  • Analysis of the impact of inclusive language on patient-provider rapport and reduction of misgendering.

Main Results:

  • Gender-inclusive language, including neutral greetings and de-gendered terms, can be practically integrated into surgical care.
  • These linguistic practices improve patient-provider rapport and minimize instances of misgendering.
  • Systemic reforms in training and institutional policies are crucial for sustained implementation.

Conclusions:

  • Universal adoption of gender-inclusive language is a cornerstone of equitable and patient-centered surgical practice.
  • Educational and institutional reforms are necessary to ensure consistent application of affirming language.
  • Addressing legislative threats to gender-affirming care requires upholding standards of inclusive communication.
