Abstract
ABSTRACT LGBTI youth are prone to health-care inequalities and experience poorer health outcomes than the general population. Nurses are not always equipped to effectively respond to LGBTI healthcare needs. The aim of the study was to develop substantive theory based on the social processes involved in facilitating LGBTI youth-inclusive primary healthcare. Using a constructivist grounded theory approach, a sample of seven nurses was interviewed. The codes and categories, that emerged during data analysis were conceptualized to develop the theory: “reframing personal and professional values” which is outlined in three phases. Phase 1 illuminates subtle and covert ways that nurses used to identify value-laden tension and conflict as barriers to LGBTI youth-inclusive care. Phase 2 and 3 reflect thoughtful and reflexive strategies that nurses used to facilitate nurse–patient interaction to resolve value-laden tension and conflict. The substantive theory provides a way of improving the healthcare and health-seeking behavior of LGBTI youth.
