Abstract
Nurses and doctors must be culturally competent to care for transgender patients. However, there is little time dedicated to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer plus (LGBTQ+) health in undergraduate and postgraduate nursing and medicine education and healthcare professionals often lack the competence and skills to treat transgender patients sensitively. At Queen's University Belfast, a transgender awareness training session was developed to enhance the cultural competence of nursing and medicine students and academic staff. The training was co-produced with students and transgender people and delivered by a transgender person. Training on transgender health should be designed in collaboration with transgender people and should be a core component of undergraduate and postgraduate healthcare curricula.
护士和医生必须在文化上胜任变性患者的护理工作。然而,在本科生和研究生的护理和医学教育中,很少有时间专门讨论女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、变性人和同性恋者(LGBTQ+)的健康问题,医护人员往往缺乏敏感地对待变性患者的能力和技能。贝尔法斯特女王大学(Queen's University Belfast)开发了变性人意识培训课程,以提高护理和医学专业学生及教职员工的文化能力。该培训由学生和变性人共同制作,并由一名变性人主讲。变性人健康培训应与变性人合作设计,并应成为本科生和研究生医疗保健课程的核心组成部分。
