  • Title: Measuring the longitudinal impact of a transgender and gender diverse curriculum on nurse practitioner students' and nurse practitioners' cultural competence, knowledge, skills, and attitudes.
    Author: Mueller RC.
    Journal: J Am Assoc Nurse Pract; 2024 Feb 01; 36(2):94-99. PubMed ID: 37698516.
    Abstract:
    Nurse practitioners (NPs) are well positioned to provide inclusive, person-centered care to patients who are transgender and gender diverse (TGD); however, few NPs have been trained on how to do so. This study demonstrates the longitudinal effect of an educational intervention that used readings, lecture, a patient panel, and a standardized patient encounter on NPs' and nurse practitioner students' cultural competency, knowledge, skills, and attitudes toward patients who are TGD. The study followed participants for 3 months and used the Sexual Orientation Counselor Competency Scale version 3 tool to measure changes across three data points. Significant improvements were demonstrated in cultural competency and clinical skills, with knowledge and attitude increases that did not reach significances. The findings from this study have implications for the inclusion of TGD content in graduate nursing curriculum and continuing education activities and provide educators with best practices to integrate this content into learning activities.
