联合国:国际研究文件指出,女同性恋,同性恋,双性恋,变性人,酷儿和双性恋(LGBTQI+)患者面临显著的健康差异。探索态度的研究,知识,医疗保健学生对LGBTQI+健康的准备和舒适度已经在美国进行了,英国和马来西亚。这项研究旨在调查新加坡LGBTQI+患者在医疗保健方面的耻辱,以及医学教育中可能的上游因素。
UNASSIGNED:此混合方法研究采用了收敛并行设计。提到了《健康污名和歧视框架》,以设计对13个确认LGBTQI的非政府组织代表的深入采访,通过专题分析进行分析。对320名临床医学生的态度进行了调查,知识,comfort,准备,以及对LGBTQI+健康的重要性,通过描述性统计和多元回归进行分析。
未经评估:新加坡社会对LGBTQI+个人的普遍污名在医疗机构中加剧。医生被认为对LGBTQI+健康不熟悉或不舒服,可能是因为缺乏训练。在接受调查的医学生中,中位数复合态度,舒适度和准备指数为3.30(四分位距(IQR)=0.50),3.17(IQR=0.83),2.50(IQR=1.00)。只有12.19%的学生正确回答了有关LGBTQI健康的所有11个真假问题。
未经评估:新加坡的医学生在对LGBTQI+健康的知识和准备方面得分不佳,而新加坡LGBTQI+人群在医疗保健中的人际和结构性污名对健康和福祉产生负面影响。这些发现是改善该领域医学培训的动力。医学生在态度上得分很高,LGBTQI+主题的舒适度和感知重要性表明,LGBTQI+健康在当地医学教育课程中有空间。课程干预可以优先考虑内容知识,沟通技巧和敏感性。
UNASSIGNED: International studies document that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex (LGBTQI+) patients face significant health disparities. Studies exploring the attitudes, knowledge, preparedness and comfort levels of healthcare students towards LGBTQI+ health have been conducted in the United States, United Kingdom and Malaysia. This study aims to investigate stigma in healthcare for LGBTQI+ patients in Singapore, and possible upstream factors within medical education.
UNASSIGNED: This mixed-methods study adopts a convergent parallel design. The Health Stigma and Discrimination Framework was referenced to devise in-depth interviews with representatives from 13 LGBTQI-affirming non-governmental organisations, analysed through thematic analysis. 320 clinical medical students were surveyed about attitudes, knowledge, comfort, preparedness, and perceived importance of/towards LGBTQI+ health, analysed via descriptive statistics and multivariate regression.
UNASSIGNED: Prevailing stigma in Singaporean society against LGBTQI+ individuals is exacerbated in healthcare settings. Doctors were cited as unfamiliar or uncomfortable with LGBTQI+ health, possibly from lack of training. Among medical students surveyed, the median composite attitudes, comfort and preparedness index was 3.30 (Interquartile Range (IQR) = 0.50), 3.17 (IQR = 0.83), 2.50 (IQR = 1.00) respectively. Only 12.19% of students answered all 11 true-false questions about LGBTQI+ health correctly.
UNASSIGNED: Medical students in Singapore have scored sub-optimally in their knowledge and preparedness towards LGBTQI+ health, while interpersonal and structural stigma in healthcare towards LGBTQI+ people in Singapore negatively affects health and wellbeing. These findings are an impetus to improve medical training in this area. High scores among medical students in attitudes, comfort and perceived importance of LGBTQI+ topics demonstrate that there is space for LGBTQI+ health in the local medical education curriculum. Curricular interventions can prioritise content knowledge, communication skills and sensitivity.
