Abstract

The study aimed to describe the preparedness of active members of the Philippine Neurological Association (PNA) in providing medical care to LGBTQ+ patients. We electronically sent out a 21-item self-administered online survey adapted from the 2019 American Academy of Neurology LGBTQ+ Survey Task Force to 511 active members of PNA that included questions about demographic information, knowledge, attitude, and clinical practices. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze variables. Text responses were transcribed and summarized. Seventy-nine (15.5%) of 511 PNA members participated. Most participants were aware of local (53%) and national (56%) barriers that preclude patients in the LGBTQ+ sector from accessing quality health care. The majority (90%) of participants agreed that LGBTQ+ patients experience disproportionate levels of physical and psychological problems. Forty-two percent (42%) of respondents believed that sexual and gender issues have no bearing on neurological management, although a majority (53%) reported individualizing their management considering these issues. The majority were cognizant of the challenges that LGBTQ+ patients face in the health care system. However, awareness has not translated into modifications in neurological management. The openness of the participants to educational opportunities concerning health care related to LGBTQ+ can be leveraged to address this gap.

菲律宾神经科医生为女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、变性人和同性恋者患者提供医疗服务的准备情况。
本研究旨在描述菲律宾神经病学协会(PNA)活跃成员在为 LGBTQ+ 患者提供医疗服务方面的准备情况。我们以电子方式向菲律宾神经病学协会的 511 名活跃会员发送了一份 21 个项目的自填式在线调查,该调查改编自 2019 年美国神经病学学会 LGBTQ+ 调查工作组的调查报告,其中包括人口统计学信息、知识、态度和临床实践等问题。使用描述性统计来分析变量。对文本回复进行了转录和汇总。511 名 PNA 会员中有 79 人(15.5%)参与了调查。大多数参与者意识到本地(53%)和全国(56%)LGBTQ+ 群体患者在获得优质医疗服务方面存在障碍。大多数参与者(90%)都认为 LGBTQ+ 患者的生理和心理问题严重得不成比例。42%的受访者(42%)认为性和性别问题与神经病学管理无关,尽管大多数受访者(53%)表示在进行个性化管理时会考虑到这些问题。大多数受访者认识到 LGBTQ+ 患者在医疗保健系统中面临的挑战。然而,这种认识并没有转化为神经病学管理方面的改变。参与者对与 LGBTQ+ 相关的医疗保健教育机会持开放态度,这可以弥补这一不足。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Homosexuality is an internationally acclaimed, peer-reviewed publication devoted to publishing a wide variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary scholarship to foster a thorough understanding of the complexities, nuances, and the multifaceted aspects of sexuality and gender. The chief aim of the journal is to publish thought-provoking scholarship by researchers, community activists, and scholars who employ a range of research methodologies and who offer a variety of perspectives to continue shaping knowledge production in the arenas of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) studies and queer studies. The Journal of Homosexuality is committed to offering substantive, accessible reading to researchers and general readers alike in the hope of: spurring additional research, offering ideas to integrate into educational programs at schools, colleges & universities, or community-based organizations, and manifesting activism against sexual and gender prejudice (e.g., homophobia, biphobia and transphobia), including the promotion of sexual and gender justice.
