Asked by Kathybarbay

Over the years, healthcare providers have strived to improve the way they provide care for patients who identify as LGBTQIAP+. In some cases, a provider makes the decision to seek out both social and clinical education to provide the best level of care to this patient demographic. Other times, a provider may be instructed to comply with institutional guidelines which they may agree or disagree with. Debating the topic of a hospital publicly announcing a position on healthcare for the LGBTQIAP+ community. Scenario below for details:

Scenario:

You are on the leadership team of a non-profit, regional hospital. The hospital recently issued an internal policy requiring increased sensitivity, competence, and annual training for all staff on improving care delivery for LGBTQIAP+ patients.

Many of your patients, donors, and volunteers have religious affiliations.

 

 Debating in OPPOSITION of publicly disclosing the hospital’s policy.

Required action:

select two arguments for your assigned position and for each argument include a brief explanation and rationale for selection.

 

According to Nair et al. (2021), LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, and others) people face a unique set of barriers to receiving quality healthcare with very little existing in nursing literature that addresses these barriers. A combination of provider-level education and institutional capacity building to treat diverse patient populations is necessary for addressing the issues demonstrated within the data (Nair et al., 2021). 

While there are challenges to implementing cultural humility trainings in the health-care system, we assert that these trainings align with the aims of healthcare systems and can be an essential tool in reducing LGBTQ health disparities (Sprik & Gentile, 2020). The strengths of cultural humility training include focus on (1) individuals instead of their cultural groups, (2) self-reflection, and (3) active listening (Sprik & Gentile, 2020).
