{"title":"Physiotherapy students hold varying attitudes, beliefs and learning preferences regarding LGBTQIA+ healthcare: a mixed methods study","authors":"Calum Neish, Megan H Ross","doi":"10.1016/j.jphys.2024.08.006","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.jphys.2024.08.006","url":null,"abstract":"<div><h3>Questions</h3><div>What are physiotherapy students’ attitudes and beliefs towards providing care for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual and other related identities (LGBTQIA+) individuals? What education have students received on LGBTQIA+ healthcare needs? What are students’ preferences for receiving this content?</div></div><div><h3>Design</h3><div>Mixed-methods design using a purpose-built online survey.</div></div><div><h3>Participants</h3><div>Australian undergraduate and postgraduate physiotherapy students.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>Participants were invited to complete an online survey. Data were collected on: personal, clinical, professional and educational exposure to LGBTQIA+ identities and topics; heteronormative attitudes and beliefs via the modified Heteronormative Attitudes and Beliefs Scale (mHABS); and perspectives about LGBTQIA+ care. Welch’s t-test and analysis of variance were used to analyse differences in mHABS and subscale scores between groups based on personal, clinical, professional and educational exposure. Open text responses were analysed thematically. Quantitative and qualitative data were first analysed separately and then cross-validated for integration in the results.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>The survey was completed by 324 eligible students. Cross-comparison of data generated four key themes pertaining to students’ perspectives about working with the LGBTQIA+ community and education about LGBTQIA+ health: students with closer personal relationships to the LGBTQIA+ community demonstrated more inclusive attitudes and beliefs about LGBTQIA+ care and education; there are cis/heteronormativity and negative views towards LGBTQIA+ health; students who are ambivalent about LGBTQIA+ care hold egalitarian beliefs; and integrated education on LGTBQIA+ health delivered by members of the community is important.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Physiotherapy students’ attitudes and beliefs about the LGBTQIA+ community were diverse, with cis/heteronormativity prevalent in respondents. Students with closer relationships to the LGBTQIA+ community demonstrated more inclusive attitudes and beliefs. The lack of understanding of LGBTQIA+ needs and relevance to physiotherapy highlights the need for improved LGBTQIA+ education in physiotherapy curricula.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49153,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physiotherapy","volume":"70 4","pages":"Pages 302-310"},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142330843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
