“…7,8 The poor knowledge and low competence regarding transgender persons and their specific health care needs are coherently described by previous research. 6,7,[35][36][37][38] Offensive and degrading attitudes from HCPs were also found to be an issue in a previous study. 6 In the current study, the experience of offensive comments and misuse of power were described.…”

Transmasculine persons may experience stigma, which increases the risk of psychological distress. They may need reproductive, perinatal, and sexual health care; however, qualitative studies addressing transgender individuals' experiences are scarce. This study aimed at interpreting and describing the experiences of transmasculine persons in encounters with health care professionals (HCPs) within reproductive, perinatal, and sexual health care. Methods: Nine qualitative semi-structured online interviews were conducted via email with transmasculine persons, and data were analyzed by using Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis. Results: Two themes were identified. The first theme is normalization and confirmation of the gender identity. This theme comprises the knowledge and experience that these transmasculine persons are facing. The verbal approach from the HCPs was important as well as could be addressed with a non-binary approach. The second theme is Respect in an especially exposed situation. This theme shows the great importance of being involved in the care and at the same time being met with openness and empathy. There must be good prospects of being able to preserve dignity. Conclusion: Transmasculine persons are in an exposed position in reproductive, perinatal, and sexual health care. The encounters in health care could be negatively affected if HCPs show inadequate knowledge or express gender stereotypical attitudes. A good encounter is characterized by respect, preserved integrity, involvement in the care, and an open attitude toward gender variations.

“…The three major themes of students’ qualitative responses (i.e., requests for more information on TGD health, appreciation for TGD health content, and suggestions to make TGD health content mandatory) provide guidance on how knowledge and skills might be further increased. For example, students could be exposed to TGD health content more frequently, for a longer portion of their academic program, and in more diverse settings (e.g., during clinical rotations or simulations) ( Stockmann and Diaz, 2017 ). These future directions align with findings from a recent systematic review of interventions aimed to reduce bias related to sexual orientation and gender identity among nursing, dental, and medical students ( Morris et al, 2019 ).…”

Background: Compared to cisgender peers, transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people experience significant health disparities associated with discrimination and limited access to appropriate care in healthcare settings. Nurses represent the largest segment of the United States (US) healthcare workforce; however, US nursing programs only dedicate approximately 2.12 h to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and TGD (LGBT)-related content. Objectives/design/setting/participants: To fill the gap in TGD-related nursing education, the Transgender Curriculum Integration Project (TCIP) developed and integrated an evidence-based curriculum specific to TGD health into the pre-licensure accelerated Bachelor’s in Nursing Science (BSN) program at Johns Hopkins School of Nursing. The purpose of this study was to assess the preliminary efficacy and feasibility (i.e., attrition, engagement, acceptability) of the TCIP in improving the TGD-related health knowledge and attitudes among a sample of pre-licensure nursing students. Methods: TCIP utilized a self-administered online survey to assess students’ knowledge and attitudes about TGD health prior to (time point 1) and following (time points 2 and 3) the integration of TGD-specific content into five nursing pre-licensure courses. Rank-based nonparametric testing using Kruskal-Wallis H and Mann-Whitney U were conducted to determine if there were statistically significant differences in responses between the three time points. Thematic content analysis was used to determine themes present among short answers. Results: Findings indicate TGD-specific content improved student’s gender sensitivity overtime, with improvements in self-reported skills in providing care for TGD people and knowledge of additional TGD-specific resources. However, gender sensitivity remains low among student’s and students requested more TGD content suggesting room for further improvement. Conclusions: Findings support the efficacy of TCIP and highlight complexities of curricular change that can guide future curricular integration and evaluation in nursing programs nation-wide.

“…Consider, for example, transgender patients. Involving them in scenarios, simulation could contribute to raise awareness of special needs of this patient group [16][17][18]. Such scenarios can create relevant learning on an organizational plane: how is the information about special needs of a patient passed on through the system?…”
