Adaptation and Psychometric Properties of the Tool for Assessing LGBTQI+ Health Training for Nurse Practitioners (TALHT-NP)

Abstract

Validated approaches for evaluating lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, plus other sexual or gender minorities (LGBTQI+) health content in nurse practitioner programs are needed. Researchers developed and evaluated content validity of the Tool for Assessing LGBTQI+ Health Training for Nurse Practitioners (TALHT-NP) for faculty and administrators to evaluate LGBTQI+ health content. Content validity scores and qualitative feedback from expert reviewers were used to guide modifications to the TALHT-NP before test-retest reliability evaluation. Data revealed that most proposed items were relevant, and test-rest was completed with no statistical differences. This research supports the development of the TALHT-NP for evaluating LGBTQI+ curricular content in nurse practitioner education programs.
