Abstract:
This study reports on a 2S/LGBTQIA+ Liaison Nurse role in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada via a convergent parallel mixed-methods design. Data comprised quantitative daily logs completed by the 2S/LGBTQIA+ Liaison Nurse along with observational field notes. A total of N = 60 daily logs were captured, and N = 17 observations for a total of 79 observation hours. Predominant services included being present (64%), care planning (47%), discharge planning (35%), and advocacy with health care providers (33%). This role upholds the social justice mandate of the nursing profession and illustrates the potential of embedding safe and affirming practices within direct care of 2S/LGBTQIA+ clients.
