  • Title: Policy aspects and nursing care of families with parents who are sexual minorities.
    Author: Weber S.
    Journal: J Fam Nurs; 2009 Aug; 15(3):384-99. PubMed ID: 19531631.
    Abstract:
    Families in which parents are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender are more diverse than they are similar. This article reviews current literature to identify fundamental issues facing families that include sexual minority parents and their children. The unique nursing needs of families with gay, lesbian, transgender, or bisexual parents are critically examined for direct relevance to family nursing practice. Nurses and other health care professionals can incorporate current knowledge of unique child developmental, parenting, and legal issues into their work with these families. Nursing assessment and policies that consider the unique needs of these families will be addressed.
