Abstract

ABSTRACT Women face persistent disparities in healthcare quality, access to care, and treatment rates and outcomes, with women from marginalized identities facing greater difficulties. Little is known about providers’ understanding of these disparities, despite the vital role they play. This qualitative study explored interdisciplinary providers’ (psychologists and primary care physicians) perceptions of healthcare disparities and challenges across marginalized groups of women (women of color, women with disabilities, and women from low SES, elderly, and LGBTQ backgrounds). Providers frequently focused on individual patient barriers over systemic and relational barriers. Narratives varied by provider type and when discussing different groups of women. Continued provider training and health equity approaches are needed to combat healthcare disparities for diverse women.
提供者对妇女保健差距和障碍的看法
女性在医疗保健质量、获得护理、治疗率和结果方面面临持续的差异,边缘身份的女性面临更大的困难。尽管提供者扮演着至关重要的角色,但他们对这些差异的理解却知之甚少。本定性研究探讨了跨学科提供者(心理学家和初级保健医生)对边缘化妇女群体(有色人种妇女、残疾妇女、低社会经济地位妇女、老年人和LGBTQ背景妇女)的医疗差异和挑战的看法。提供者经常关注患者个体障碍,而不是系统和关系障碍。叙述因提供者类型和讨论不同妇女群体而异。需要继续对提供者进行培训并采取保健公平办法,以消除不同妇女在保健方面的差距。
