Abstract
Introduction
Cisheteronormativity in healthcare settings may further exacerbate existing health disparities between LGBTQ+ and non-LGBTQ+ populations. The aim of the current review is to identify dimensions of cisheteronormativity that manifest in healthcare settings to influence healthcare utilization by LGBTQ+ individuals.
Method
8148 articles were screened, with 53 remaining for inclusion.
Results
Thematic synthesis identified five themes linked to negative healthcare use: 1) Lack of Provider LGBTQ+ Knowledge, 2) Endorsements of Cisheteronormativity, 3) Assumptions of LGBTQ+ experiences and assumptions of non-LGBTQ+ identity, 4) Negation, and 5) Abuse of Power.
Conclusion
Findings emphasize the need for provider education regarding LGBTQ+ identities and the dismantling of cisheteronormative structures in healthcare.
期刊介绍：
Social Science & Medicine provides an international and interdisciplinary forum for the dissemination of social science research on health. We publish original research articles (both empirical and theoretical), reviews, position papers and commentaries on health issues, to inform current research, policy and practice in all areas of common interest to social scientists, health practitioners, and policy makers. The journal publishes material relevant to any aspect of health from a wide range of social science disciplines (anthropology, economics, epidemiology, geography, policy, psychology, and sociology), and material relevant to the social sciences from any of the professions concerned with physical and mental health, health care, clinical practice, and health policy and organization. We encourage material which is of general interest to an international readership.
