“…Such networks and supports have been shown to be significant in terms of quality of life, well-being and coping with prejudice and stigma, although staying in place when LGBT friends and family leave an area can be equally challenging, especially in relation to social isolation (Shippy et al, 2004;Brennan-Ing et al, 2013;Orel, 2014). Hence, part of older…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to contribute to debates about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) housing later in life by placing these in a theoretical context: social capital theory (SCT). Design/methodology/approach – After a discussion of SCT, emanating from the works of Robert Putnam and Pierre Bourdieu, the paper draws on existing studies of LGBT housing later in life, identifying key concerns that are identified by this body of literature. Findings – The paper then applies SCT to the themes drawn from the LGBT housing later in life literature to illustrate the usefulness of putting these in such a theoretical context. Originality/value – Hence, overall, the paper fills an important gap in how the authors think about LGBT housing later in life; as something that is framed by issues of social networks and connections and the benefits, or otherwise, that accrue from them.

“…Este enfoque hará visible la forma de apoyar a los estudiantes de medicina, atención sanitaria y social para que tomen conciencia y confianza en la lucha contra los problemas de salud contemporáneos para los pacientes LGBT. t is widely accepted that lack of knowledge by healthcare providers can lead to suboptimal or no provision of healthcare for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender patients (Lee, 2000). This point takes on significance in contemporary societies such as Britain, which has an aging LGBT population whose specific needs and experiences remain largely unknown (Orel, 2014).…”

While acknowledging these very positive developments, teaching LGBT curricula content is contingent upon having educators understand the complexity of LGBT lives. The study adopted a qualitative mixed method approach. The study investigated how and in what ways barriers and facilitators of providing LGBT medical, health and social care curricula content figure in the accreditation policies and within undergraduate and postgraduate medical and healthcare teaching. This paper illustrates opposing views about curricula inclusion. The evidence presented suggests that LGBT content teaching is often challenged at various points in its delivery. In this respect, we will focus on a number of resistances that sometimes prevents teachers from engaging with and providing the complexities of LGBT curricula content. These include the lack of collegiate, colleague and student cooperation. By investing some time on these often neglected areas of resistance, the difficulties and good practice met by educators will be explored. This focus will make visible how to support medical, health and social care students become aware and confident in tackling contemporaneous health issues for LGBT patients.</span>

“…In addition to predetermined judgments, it was observed the presence of constraints, pejorative connotations and exclusionary acts directed at the Group [6] by professionals and service users, which demonstrated that the aversion to sexual minorities in the social environment, becames commonplace fact, since other studies also reveal prejudice and discriminatory messages. In a study of health professionals, the participants considered the homosexual and bisexual population as a group of sick people, not worthy to formalize marriages or even adopt children [5].…”

“…Soon, all that escapes this pattern, such as homosexuality and bisexuality, is regarded as abnormal and deviant [5,6]. Due to this situation, there are gaps in health care provided to this public, given the heteronormative cultural context in which professionals fall, resulting in inconsistent and unsatisfactory given attention [7,8].…”

Cultural care: sexual orientation as bias in health care practices

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: The objective was to identify the perception of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender people about the implications of non-heterosexual sexual orientation in health care practices. . Methods:We adopted a qualitative research by conducting interviews with 30 gay and bisexual individuals recruited in the municipality of Juazeiro do Norte, Brazil, from the snowball technique in 2013. The data was categorized and analyzed based on the Theory of Diversity and Universality of Cultural Care. Findings:It was found that sexual minorities have encountered prejudiced and discriminatory professional practices in health care as a result of heteronormative cultural representations, which reflect difficulties in accessibility to the services. The exclusionary cultural care results in poor self-care and linked to sexually transmitted diseases, low attendance and distance of health services for gay and bisexual men. Conclusion:It is believed that the influence of heteronormative cultural conceptions in services imply deficit of self-care by the group.
