Abstract
Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the process of change in the sexual intentions of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) individuals and their experiences pertaining to adaptation to social life.
Design and methods: The participant introduction form and semi-structured interview form were administered to 18 LGBT people.
Findings: Codes were classified by LGBT persons' "environment of birth and childhood," "experience of noticing changes in sexual intentions," "disclosing the change in sexual intentions for the first time," "reactions of the family and close circle," "problems experienced," "efforts made to solve the problems," "thoughts on having different sexual intentions in Turkey," and "future expectations."
Practice implications: Nurses should provide support for LGBT people to use effective resources that would assist them with their sexual intentions and the adjustment process.
