Abstract
OBJECTIVES
Previous research suggests that information about providing culturally sensitive care to patients of the LGBTQIA+ population has been lacking among pre-licensure nursing programs. This is due, in part, to a lack of faculty preparation and knowledge regarding LGBTQIA+ issues. The purpose of this integrative review is to examine pedagogical strategies of LGBTQIA+ content integration in pre-licensure nursing programs in the United States.
DATA SOURCES
The literature search was conducted by searching CINAHL, the Cochrane Database, PubMed, MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and PsychINFO for peer-reviewed articles that were written in the English language and completed in an educational setting.
REVIEW METHODS
The search was conducted by a single independent reviewer. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to articles identified by the databases. Eighteen articles met all identified criteria. Articles were appraised using resources from the Joanna Briggs Institute and one article was excluded from further consideration after appraisal. Seventeen articles were analyzed for themes.
RESULTS
Three themes emerged from the review: lecture and dialogue, experiential learning, and reading and writing.
CONCLUSIONS
Based on the review of the literature, there is a myriad of evidence-based pedagogies to incorporate LGBTQIA+ content into pre-licensure nursing programs. Students were successful in achieving learning outcomes and interventions were well-received. The studies in this review may assist in mitigating a lack of faculty preparedness in teaching LGBTQIA+ content by providing examples of pedagogical strategies that can be adapted to fit their particular course or program.
