Abstract
The lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) population historically has faced stigma and discrimination, including in health care. Although discrimination in health care generally has improved, barriers to culturally congruent care remain. Education for nurses and other health care workers is key to addressing these barriers; however, little is known about the status of LGBTQ health education in nursing schools. A survey on LGBTQ health education provided to undergraduate nursing students was sent to all Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education-accredited schools. Nearly two-thirds of responding schools indicated their graduates were not adequately prepared to care for this population, and 38% of schools agreed their faculty had the knowledge needed to adequately teach this content. Barriers included time constraints and lack of faculty knowledge. In addition to a need for expanded LGBTQ health education for students, there is a need for faculty education about LGBTQ content.
