The nurse´s experiences and identified need : In the care encounters with LGBTQ-people (English)
Abstract [en]

Background: LGBTQ people have a higher risk for poor health than heterosexuals and LGBTQ people face stigma and discrimination in their daily lives but also in their care contacts. Nurses can make a big difference for these patients by treating them in a person-centered way.

Aim: The aim of the study was to describe nurses’ experiences and identify their needs in health care encounters with LGBTQ-people. 

Method: The study is a narrative literature review and includes seven qualitative and four quantitative original articles. The articles were searched in the databases CINAHL and MEDLINE. The articles were analyzed based on thematic content analysis.

Results: In the result four different themes are presented: Varying degree of experiences and different attitudes, Perceived obstacles and strategies for good communication, Need to treat everyone equally and Need for education.

Conclusions: The nurses needed more training and had relatively low knowledge of the specific health needs of LGBTQ people. The fear of saying or acting in a stereotypical or discriminatory way prevented the nurses from creating a good relationship with their patients. More research is needed to examine nurses' experiences of caring for LGBTQ people.

Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: HBTQ-personer har en högre risk för ohälsa än heterosexuella och HBTQ-personer möter stigmatisering och diskriminering i sitt dagliga liv men även i sina vårdkontakter. Sjuksköterskor kan göra stor skillnad för dessa patienter genom att bemöta de på ett personcentrerat sätt. 

Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter samt identifiera deras behov i vårdmötet med HBTQ-personer.

Metod: Studien är en litteraturstudie och inkluderar sju kvalitativa och fyra kvantitativa originalartiklar. Artiklarna söktes i databaserna CINAHL och MEDLINE. Artiklarna analyserades utifrån tematisk innehållsanalys.

Resultat: I resultatet presenteras fyra olika teman: Varierande grad av erfarenheter och olika attityder, Upplevda hinder och strategier för en god kommunikation, Behov av att behandla alla lika samt Behov av utbildning.

Slutsatser: Sjuksköterskorna behövde mer utbildning och hade relativt låg kunskap om de specifika hälsobehov som HBTQ-personer har. Rädslan för att säga eller agera på ett stereotypt eller diskriminerande sätt hindrade sjuksköterskorna från att skapa en bra relation med sina patienter. Det behövs mer forskning för att undersöka sjuksköterskors erfarenheter och behov i vårdmötet med HBTQ-personer.
