    Same-sex marriage is now legal, spouses now have rights to pension benefits, continued insurance coverage, immigration laws are applied, as well as the right to tax filing status. Most people are allowing themselves to be more educated when it comes to homosexuality. Nurses who are more empathetic and compassionate tend to be those who work among PLWHA, or people living with HIV and AIDS, and are associated with lower feelings of psychological distress. There are also several studies that depict the more negative attitudes of health care providers towards patients with HIV/AIDS for reasons such a general fear of working with the terminally ill, perceptions of personal risk, being professionally adjudicated upon, fear of contracting the disease, and the unwillingness to work with patient populations including but not limited to homosexuals and intravenous drug users. These findings are consistent with Allport’s social psychology theory of intergroup contact (SOURCE), a theory that describes a weakened prejudice caused by increased contact with “an out-group” leading to a more positive attitude toward that group. In regards to nurses, it was found that the perception of stigma related to HIV influences their job satisfaction significantly. Research has also shown that

  • Peplau's Theory Of Interpersonal Relationships And The Transgender Community

    819 Words  | 2 Pages

    Nursing theory is one of the first topics taught in nursing school. Nursing theory gives the nurse a base for identifying with their patients, organizing and analyzing information collected, to assist their patient. Many patient populations present with specific issues and concerns; nursing theory aids the nurse in seeing their patients as individuals and helps to tailor care as such. Across the lifespan, people’s needs with respect to health care are constantly changing and for the members of the transgender community this is especially true (McCann & Sharek, 2015). Studies indicate that services available to the transgender community are limited at best; and for the services that are available, healthcare professionals are undereducated and at times insensitive to the needs of this population (McCann & Sharek, 2015). By examining Peplau’s Theory of Interpersonal Relationships, this paper will explore how using this theory will help the nursing professional provide quality care to members of the transgender community.

In conformity with the Journal of Transcultural Nursing journal, nurses need to follow 12 steps to have a successful result when integrating cultural competence in the health care environment: social justice, critical reflection, knowledge of cultures, culturally competent practice, cultural competence in the health care systems and organizations, patient advocacy and empowerment, multicultural workforce, education and training in culturally competent care, cross-cultural communication, cross-cultural leadership, policy development, a...

  • Needs Assessment of LGBTQI Health Literacy

    2754 Words  | 6 Pages

    Although registered nurses at every level of practice and education receive some instruction in the broad concept of cultural competence, LGBTQI populations are frequently overlooked as a group with its own unique cultural characteristics. This, in turn, contributes to a persistent disparity in healthcare. According to the Federal Interagency Forum on Aging-Related Statistics (2012), the Baby Boom generation will increase from 35 million to 72 million by 2030, encompassing nearly 20% of the U.S. population. Estimates of individuals who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender are roughly 4% (Simone & Applebaum, 2009); these are very conservative estimates. This means that nurses will encounter 2-6 million aging LGBTQI Americans in need of healthcare at some point in their lives by 2030 (Simone & Applebaum, 2009).

It was inspiring for me to know the amount of patience, understanding and self-control that a

  • The Nursing Process

    1513 Words  | 4 Pages

    The nursing process is one of the most fundamental yet crucial aspects of the nursing profession. It guides patient care in a manner that creates an effective, safe, and health promoting process. The purpose and focus of this assessment paper is to detail the core aspects of the nursing process and creating nursing diagnoses for patients in a formal paper. The nursing process allows nurses to identify a patient’s health status, their current health problems, and also identify any potential health risks the patient may have. The nursing process is a broad assessment tool that can be applied to every patient but results in an individualized care plan tailored to the most important needs of the patient. The nurse can then implement this outcome oriented care plan and then evaluate and modify it to fit the patient’s progress (Taylor, C. R., Lillis, C., LeMone, P., & Lynn, P., 2011). The nursing process prioritizes care, creates safety checks so that essential assessments are not missing, and creates an organized routine, allowing nurses to be both efficient and responsible.

    Male registered nurses are faced with quite a large variety of challenge and as stated by Burnett 44% of male nurses experienced discrimination, 31% suffered with social isolation (Rajacich et al., 2013) and many felt concerned that they were to be excluded from gender specific areas or procedures because of their gender (Whittock & Leonard, 2003a).
