Abstract

Aim: This study analyzed psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) students' reflections following a virtual simulated encounter with a patient who identified as transgender or gender expansive (TGE).

Background: To reduce mental health disparities, PMHNP students must be prepared to deliver affirming care. Engaging in and reflecting on simulated encounters with standardized patients can improve PMHNP students' affirming care competency.

Method: A thematic analysis process was used to analyze student reflections during simulation debriefings.

Results: Five themes emerged: application of affirming care principles, recognizing minority stressors, treating all patients the same, desire to learn more, and valuing authentic practice.

Conclusion: PMHNP students' reflections on the experience of providing care to a standardized patient who identified as TGE support the use of virtual simulations to prepare future providers to deliver affirming, person-centered care.

只是另一个病人？学生在模拟接触中为变性者和性别扩展者提供心理健康护理的思考。

目的：本研究分析了精神科-心理健康执业护士（PMHNP）学生在与一名变性或性别扩张（TGE）患者进行虚拟模拟接触后的反思：背景：为了减少心理健康方面的差异，心理健康执业护士（PMHNP）学生必须做好提供平权护理的准备。背景：为了减少心理健康方面的差异，心理卫生与职业医师专业的学生必须为提供平权护理做好准备。参与标准化患者的模拟接触并进行反思，可以提高心理卫生与职业医师专业学生的平权护理能力：方法：采用主题分析方法对学生在模拟汇报中的反思进行分析：结果：出现了五个主题：肯定护理原则的应用、认识到少数群体的压力、对所有患者一视同仁、渴望学习更多知识以及重视真实实践：PMHNP学生对为自称为TGE的标准化病人提供护理的体验进行的反思，支持使用虚拟模拟为未来的医疗服务提供者提供以人为本的平权护理做好准备。
