Abstract
Transgender clients report experiencing discrimination and differential treatment by health care providers in clinical settings. This pilot study assessed prelicensure nursing students' attitudes, beliefs, and willingness to provide care for transgender individuals. Participants enrolled in an adult health nursing course were asked to complete a demographic questionnaire, the Transgender Attitudes and Beliefs Survey, and a Willingness to Provide Clinical Care questionnaire. Almost all of the participants reported positive attitudes toward transgender clients. Almost all of the participants reported a willingness to provide nursing skills; one participant was unwilling to perform genital or anal-related care. The majority of the prelicensure nursing students in this pilot study indicated they were willing to provide nursing care for transgender clients. More research is needed to assess prelicensure nursing students' learning needs regarding the provision of nursing care for transgender individuals. [J Nurs Educ. 2022;61(6):322-325.].
