This book was released on 2005 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discrimination and inequality encountered by gays and lesbians in the United States is profuse. A cornerstone of the gay rights movement, equality in the workplace has been a pivotal struggle for gays and lesbians. This study examined the attitudes and opinions of registered nurses (RNs) regarding homosexuals in general and the protection of homosexuals in the workplace through a nondiscrimination policy. The author measured overall homophobic and discriminatory beliefs of the sample using the Attitudes Toward Lesbian and Gay Men (ATLG) Scale; the demographic questionnaire was infused with questions regarding a protective workplace policy. Using T-tests, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and structural equation modeling (SEM), correlations between independent variables (gender, age, religious association, belief in the "free choice" model of homosexuality, education level, exposure to homosexuals through friends and/or family associations, race/ethnicity, and support or non-support of a workplace nondiscrimination policy protective of gay men and lesbians) with the dependent variable of homophobia were explored.

Book excerpt: The general aim of the project was to describe the situation of lesbians and gay men in a nursing environment by studying the attitudes of nursing staff and students, and the experiences of gay nursing staff in their work environment and of gay patients and partners in their encounters with nursing. The study for papers I and II had a descriptive, comparative design. Nurses, assistant nurses, and nursing students completed the Attitudes Toward Homosexuality Scale (ATHS), the Causes of Homosexuality Questionnaire (CHQ), and the Affect Adjective Checklist (AAC), along with the Nursing Behaviour Questionnaire (NBQ). In general, the participating nursing staff and students expressed positive attitudes, though some subjects reported very negative attitudes toward gay people. The participants also expressed a full spectrum of emotions from delight to anger. The studies for papers III and IV had a descriptive, explorative design. Here, the data collection was performed by semi-structured interviews. The informants were gay nursing staff, gay patients and partners of patients. The gay personnel reported fear and concern about heterosexuals' reactions when these informants "come out," and were constantly assesing the risk being open about their sexual orientation among their workmates. Nearly all patients and partners described several situations where heteronormative assumptions were communicated by the nursing staff. Almost all informants offered recommendations for nursing staff to facilitate communication. According to the presented findings, probably only a small minority in Swedish nursing have negative attitudes toward lesbians and gay men. However, the informants told of heteronormative language and behaviour in nursing contexts that were percieved as insensitive, insulting and humaliating. Nursing staff need to learn how to communicate in a more natural way and to be aware of the norms they communicate through the language and behaviour they use.

This book was released on 1977 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homosexuality is something which has been a part of almost every society throughout history. In western society this has been a subject of secrecy and taboo. Throughout our history homosexuals have been persecuted and forced to hide their sexual identity. The effects of this on an individual should be something of concern to professionals in the mental health field. While in the past there has been little knowledge of homosexuality, and no self-expression on the part of homosexuals, there has, in recent years, been growing information and expression. The effect of this change on mental health workers is what this paper will examine. An historical survey will present the forces which shaped the current attitude of the mental health profession about homosexuality. I will present a general examination of the social ideology toward homosexuality in western society. I will also review the history of those homosexuals who have banded together for companionship, reform, and protest. This will be a context against which I will examine the attitudes of a specific group of people who care for the mentally ill--nurses and aides at a state mental hospital. The questionnaire I used to examine their attitudes surveys a broad range of possible attitudes about homosexuality. The responses will demonstrate what changes have occurred in society's attitudes toward homosexuality. It will show, specifically, what the attitudes are of those who care for economically disadvantaged, severely disturbed homosexuals.

Download or read book Increasing Nurses' Knowledge and Attitudes Toward Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (lgbt) Patient written by Bonnie L Hammack and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) patients experience significant health disparities that affect morbidity, mortality, and overall quality of life. Nurses who express negative biases in the delivery of care influence many of the disparities facing this vulnerable patient population. Educational interventions that are focused on increasing nurses' knowledge of LGBT healthcare needs have proven effective in improving patient compliance and enhancing patient care outcomes. This evidence-based practice change project was designed to educate nurses (n=25) on the healthcare needs of the LGBT population. The project included a pretest and posttest with an educational intervention. The project manager, in collaboration with subject matter experts, developed a questionnaire, which consisted of 15 knowledge and five attitude questions. The questionnaire was administered before and after an educational intervention to measure any changes in nurses' knowledge and attitudes toward LGBT patients. Findings indicated that knowledge scores increased from a baseline of 69.1%, which was below the 80% benchmark, to a post intervention score of 97.6%, which was above the intended benchmark. The average mean scores measuring attitudes increased significantly, t = 2.06 and p = .04. The findings of this evidence-based practice change project have significant implications on the effects of educating nurses on the healthcare needs of the LGBT population, that dramatically influence practice and patient care outcomes. Key words: LGBT; nurses' attitudes; education; healthcare; bias" -- Abstract.

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background. Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students are at a high risk of making assumptions based on personal stigma, stereotypes, education, low exposure, prejudice, and religious beliefs toward the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) population, thus compromising the quality of health care provided. The purpose of this descriptive, correlational and exploratory research was to report the presence of homophobia in undergraduate nursing students. Methods. Data was collected from a convenience sampling of traditional and accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing students enrolled at a California State University in the Spring of 2016. Quantitative data was collected from a purposive sample of 256 nursing students using a demographic profile sheet, the Index of Attitudes Towards Homosexuals and Homophobic Behavior of Student Scale. Results. The cutting score for higher level of homophobia was set at 50 by the authors of the survey instruments. The result revealed lower level of homophobia among the BSN students. The mean IAH score (n= 256, M = 24.421 SD =15.91) and the mean HBSS score (n= 256, M = 12.37, SD = 15.29) were both lower than 50 suggesting lower-level of homophobia. There was a strong positive correlation between the IAH scores and HBSS scores of BSN students toward homosexuals, r = .682. These results suggested that the students’ behavior were consistent with their attitudes. Non-accepting religion to homosexuality accounted for strongest predictor for the homophobic scores. Conclusion: The results of this research revealed that nurses have lower level of homophobia. Future qualitative research should be built on this study to further investigate why nursing students continue to have homophobic attitudes and behaviors. The nursing faculty and students should continue to participate in cultural or diversity class to achieve neutrality regardless of their religious belief to truly advocate for patient’s health.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine if a relationship exists between prejudice towards AIDS, fear of contagion and level of knowledge, and nurses' attitudes toward AIDS. Additional analyses were carried out to determine if a relationship exists between attitudes toward AIDS and age, sex, marital status, area and position of employment, educational background and length of work experience of the nurses involved in the study. A sample of 99 nurses out of 200 randomly selected from a pool of New York State Nurses1 Association members responded to the invitation to participate in the study. The instrument, The Questionnaire to Identify Nurses Attitudes Towards AIDS, was developed by the investigator. It was designed to address demographic information of the respondents, his/her actual experience in caring for AIDS patients, as well as, measure respondents knowledge of AIDS, level of concern when dealing with patients with the disease, and attitude of nurses toward groups at risk for developing AIDS. Each participant's instrument had an overall mean attitude score on all 20 items computed, as well as a mean score for the ten items related to knowledge of AIDS and the ten items related to attitude toward AIDS patients, homosexuals, and IV drug users. Analysis of Variance was used to determine any variation of nurses' attitude scores among the variables studied. It is clear from this study that nurses' attitudes toward AIDS are more positive than negative. The theoretical position that nurses prejudice against the social groups at risk for developing AIDS is related to a more negative attitude toward caring for patients with AIDS was not supported by this investigation. Based on this finding, two conclusions were drawn. First, nurses' desire to uphold the ethical standards of the profession is stronger than their prejudicial attitude toward homosexuals and intravenous drug users. Second, nurses increased contact with these groups and the availability of professional literature and workshops on drug abuse and homosexuality may help to dispel false stereotypes and therefore decrease the degree of prejudice felt by nurses. It is also evident from this investigation that certain variables can affect nurses' attitude toward AIDS. Fear of contagion has been shown to cause nurses' attitudes to become more negative, while knowledge and understanding about AIDS has been shown to cause nurses' attitudes to become more positive. No significant statistical relationship was found between nurses attitude and the following demographic variables: age, sex, marital status, current education, area of employment, position held, number of years of nursing experience and number of AIDS patients cared for. There was a significant relationship between the type of programs the participants graduated from and their attitude toward AIDS. There was also a significant relationship between nurses who refused to care for AIDS patients and their attitude toward AIDS.
