Improving Inclusive Communication: Pilot Results from a Simulation-Based Learning Opportunity to Practice Taking a Sexual Health History
Sexual and gender minority (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning; LGBTQ+) patients experience health care inequities. Simulation using standardized patients (SPs) is an effective tool for communication-based training. To promote equitable practice, we created an experiential learning opportunity for residents to practice inclusive communication and improve their comfort in caring for LGBTQ+ patients while maintaining the psychological safety of SPs. Methods: Our interdisciplinary team explored relevant simulation curricula, conducted a focus group with LGBTQ+ SPs, created a didactic presentation, and designed and implemented a simulated case. Family medicine residents participated in the training and completed pre-and post-training surveys rating their confidence in sexual health communication and working with sexual and gender minority patients. We compared Likert scale ratings in pre-and post-training surveys using a Wilcoxon signed-rank test. SPs completed post-simulation surveys rating their psychological safety. Results: Residents completed pre-training (n = 13) and post-training (n = 12) surveys. Confidence improved in every category, reaching significance for confidence in obtaining a sexual health history from LGBTQ+ patients. Four SPs completed post-simulation surveys. All SPs reported that the event had educational value and was a positive experience.
