Knowledge of nursing teachers about health promotion for the LGBTQIA+ population.

Abstract

Objective: To describe the knowledge of Nursing teachers about the LGBTQIA+ population's health.

Method: Qualitative, exploratory and descriptive research, whose data collection strategy was through a World Café. The study was carried out with nursing professors from a public higher education institution located in the northern region of Brazil. Data analysis was performed using the thematic or categorical approach. The software Atlas.ti® was used for coding and organization.

Results: The development of the World Café involved the participation of 10 professors, from different curricular activities. The audios obtained during the World Café were thoroughly examined, and thematic categories were identified for the presentation of the results, namely: LGBTQIA+ Education, Training and Health; From Prejudice to Recognition of Rights; and Reflective Education in the Recognition and Deconstruction of Social Determinants.

Conclusion: The analysis of the results indicates the importance of understanding discursive practices in the training process, considering prejudice and discrimination as social determinants that affect health promotion.
