“…In this study, we found that factors which affect homophobia were being male, religion, not having a family member or acquaintance belonging to a sexual minority group, and low self-esteem. This is consistent with the results of prior studies, which showed that males exhibit higher and more intense rates of homophobia than females [20,26,27]. As Korean society is conservative and patriarchal, Korean men may have especially negative attitudes toward sexual minorities because Korean men are inclined to be more conservative.…”

“…The average homophobia score in this study was 74.5; 92.9% of the participants can be classified as homophobic, and 42.3% as highly homophobic. According to the literature, this means that rates of homophobia are higher in Korean nursing students than in nursing and medical students from most other countries—in the literature, between 7% and 40% of students in other countries could be classified as homophobic [18,19,20,21]. In addition, the results of a previous study showed that Asians have higher homophobia scores than do non-Hispanic Caucasians [22].…”

Sexual minorities are people with non-cis and non-heterosexual gender identities, including LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) identities. Korean society is prejudiced against sexual minorities—in our study, we will broadly label this prejudice homophobia. It is possible that sexual minorities do not receive appropriate health management owing to such prejudices. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce homophobia in nursing students. This study aims to measure the degree of homophobia in Korean nursing students and identify the factors that affect homophobia. Our study is a cross-sectional study, which surveys attitudes of 265 nursing students toward homophobia in five Korean cities in January to March, 2019. The average homophobia score was 74.5 out of a possible 120; 92.9% of the participants were classified as homophobic, and 42.3% as highly homophobic. We found that participants who were male, religious, had low self-esteem, and had no family members or acquaintances who might belong to a sexual minority group, were more likely to be homophobic. Nursing students in Korea still exhibit high levels of homophobia. As high levels of homophobia can negatively affect health management and nursing, especially in the case of sexual minorities, we suggest that educational programs should be set up to reduce homophobia in nursing students.

“…No obstante, a través de los estudios existentes, se observa que reflejan en mayor o menor medida actitudes negativas en este colectivo. Así mismo destaca que se producen en mayor medida en los actuales o los futuros trabajadores y trabajadoras sociales: de mayor edad, hombres, practicantes de alguna religión, de ámbito rural y que no conocen a personas de gays, lesbianas, bisexuales, transexuales e intersexuales (Lim y Jonhson, 2001;Newman, Dannefelser y Benish, 2002;Toro-Alfonso y Varas, 2004;Swank y Raiz, 2007;Campo-Arias y Herazo, 2013;Otero, 2015a).…”

La homofobia y la lesbofobia hacen referencia a actitudes de hostilidad dirigidas hacia las personas que disciernes del modelo heteronormativo. Las cuales pueden manifestarse de diversas formas y producen diversos efectos en la calidad de vida de las víctimas, afectando a las dimensiones: psicosocial, cultural y económica de los/as homosexuales (Herek, 2004; Barrientos y Cárdenas, 2013). A través de la aplicación de las escalas de Raja y Stokes (1998) de homofobia hacia gays (MHS-G) y homofobia hacia lesbianas (MHS-L) a 150 alumnos/as de Trabajo Social de la UANL se plantea analizar en nivel de homo/lesbofobia y que variables son determinantes. Los resultados evidencian un nivel de rechazo medio-bajo mayor respecto a lesbianas que hacia gays. Especialmente es estudiantes con ideologías conservadoras, mujeres y que no profesan religión. Así mismo se constata que el nivel de instrucción no resulta ser determinante. En base a estos resultados se considera necesario realizar una revisión de los planes docentes de la titulación e incluir contenidos referentes a la diversidad sexual y los posibles efectos negativos en las intervenciones profesionales en las que actitudes homo/lesbofóbicas tienes lugar.

“…The participants of this study may also perceive other contexts as simply more discriminatory, what might constitute a concerning factor given the levels of homophobia found in healthcare contexts (e.g., Campo-Arias et al, 2010). The context perceived as the most discriminatory was religion, followed by access to employment a n = 54, b n = 111. and the workplace.…”

“…Indeed, several studies have identifi ed homophobia and negative attitudes towards the LGBT population among health care students. Campo-Arias, Herazo and Cogollo (2010) analysed eight studies carried out in the United States, Britain, Germany and Sweden from 1998 to 2008, and identifi ed an incidence of homophobia among nursing students ranging from 7% to 16%. Some of these studies have found that 8% to 12% of a sample of 116 nursing students believed that homosexuality should be punishable by law (Eliason, 1998), and that 7% of a sample of 180 nursing students openly disapproved homosexuality (Lohrmann et al, 2000).…”
