Abstract

Health disparities among LGBTQ+ people arise from sociocultural contexts of gender oppression. Complex historical, legal, and policy landscapes perpetuate inequities through discriminatory legislation and policies. Intersections of ideology, theology, and politics converge to shape anti-LGBTQ+ initiatives that have detrimental impacts on human rights and health outcomes. This consensus statement recommends promoting inclusive laws and policies, expanding antidiscrimination protections, and amplifying awareness within nursing and other healthcare practitioner communities, particularly in the United States. By advocating for a human rights-based approach and leveraging international frameworks, such as the International Bill of Human Rights and Yogyakarta Principles, we seek to empower nurses and policy stakeholders to address systemic barriers and advance health equity, equitable health policy, and human rights with LGBTQ+ people globally. These recommendations affirm the Academy’s position, align seamlessly with its stance against oppressive laws and policies, and reinforce its mission to influence policy for improved health and equity.

促进LGBTQ+人群的人权、健康公平和公平的卫生政策：美国护理学会共识文件

LGBTQ+人群的健康差异源于性别压迫的社会文化背景。复杂的历史、法律和政策环境通过歧视性立法和政策使不平等永久化。意识形态、神学和政治的交叉点汇聚在一起，形成了对人权和健康结果产生有害影响的反lgbtq +倡议。本共识声明建议促进包容性法律和政策，扩大反歧视保护，并在护理和其他医疗保健从业者群体中扩大意识，特别是在美国。通过倡导以人权为基础的方法，并利用国际人权法案和日惹原则等国际框架，我们力求增强护士和政策利益攸关方的权能，以消除系统性障碍，促进全球LGBTQ+人群的卫生公平、公平卫生政策和人权。这些建议肯定了该学院的立场，与它反对压迫性法律和政策的立场完全一致，并加强了它影响政策以改善健康和公平的使命。
