“…Health organisations certainly differ in their readiness and resources to implement one or more of these systems-level changes, which are therefore likely to occur at different rates from one health system to the next. [19][20][21][22][23] Beyond organisational change within healthcare systems, achieving sustainable and comprehensive health equity for LGBT people will require substantial societal change to address a range of adverse LGBT health outcomes driven by social determinants outside the health care arena. 43 …”

Abstract. Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people face pervasive health disparities and barriers to highquality care. Adequate LGBT sexual health education for emerging health professionals is currently lacking. Clinical training programs and healthcare organisations are well poised to start addressing these disparities and affirming LGBT patients through curricula designed to cultivate core competencies in LBGT health as well as health care environments that welcome, include and protect LGBT patients, students and staff. Health education programs can emphasise mastery of basic LGBT concepts and terminology, as well as openness towards and acceptance of LGBT people. Core concepts, language and positive attitudes can be instilled alongside clinical skill in delivering inclusive sexual health care, through novel educational strategies and paradigms for clinical implementation. Caring for the health needs of LGBT patients also involves the creation of health care settings that affirm LGBT communities in a manner that is responsive to culturally specific needs, sensitivities and challenges that vary across the globe.Received 18 July 2016, accepted 9 January 2017, published online 6 February 2017Despite recent advances in the recognition of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people, with data demonstrating a rapid increase in the acceptance of LGBT people 1,2 and attainment of equality in many sectors, 3 education on LGBT health needs for health professionals still lags greatly. 4,5 As recently as a decade ago there were no standard texts that included information about care for LGBT people, and numerous studies and reviews of health issues have documented a continued gap in health care education. [4][5][6][7] A study of LGBT topics in medical education published in 2011 showed a median of 5 h of education in both the US and Canada. 8 It is not surprising that despite demonstration of health disparities experienced by LGBT people across the life cycle, many LGBT people find it difficult to access quality care. 6,9 In addition, studies have shown that many LGBT students question being open about their sexual orientation or gender identity when studying to be health professionals due to concerns of bias affecting their professional futures. 10 These findings point to a need in the area of LGBT health care training for development of core competencies that students can use regardless of their eventual speciality or practice setting, 11 in addition to creating health care environments that are welcoming and affirming for LGBT patients, students and staff. 12,13 Participants in health care settings will only engage effectively and thrive if they can comfortably and openly express their true selves. 10,14,15 With regard to education, especially in the context of principles of adult learning, existing studies call for developing competencies that encompass critical knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to provide affirmative care to LGBT people.

El análisis del contenido de los artículos puede consultarse en la tabla 1. , publicaciones sudamericanas (8,82%) (2,9,20) dos de ellas de habla hispana (2,9) y de otros paises (14,70%) como Turquía (32) , Australia (24) , Nueva Zelanda (25) y Canadá (33,34) .

Introduction: We know as a transgender person who is not identified with the sex of birth, this fact still collected as pathology by the current Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Illness (DSM-V) will cause inequalities and barriers At the time of health care.Objective: To explore the difficulties for health care perceived by trans* people and by the professionals who assist them in health centres.Material and method: Literature review.Results: Both professionals and trans* people perceive significant barriers. They could be grouped by diverse topics: healthcare inequalities noticed by trans* patients, prejudices and felt discrimination, specific health risks, lack of professional knowledge and deficit of training in current curricula. On the other hand, nursing with trans* patients may result in a facilitator. Conclusions: There are multiple factors which can be modified and which produce that trans* people do not notice appropriate care. Appropriate training of health professionals is the one which acquires more relevance. The results found provide key information for the future design of interventions aimed at improving the quality of the assistance in this group. Introducción: Conocemos como una persona trans* a aquella que no se identifica con el sexo de nacimiento, este hecho aún recogido como patología por el actual manual diagnóstico y estadístico de enfermedades mentales (DSM-V) va a provocar que existan desigualdades y barreras significativas a la hora de la atención sanitaria.Objetivo: Explorar las dificultades para la asistencia sanitaria percibidas por las personas trans* y por los profesionales que los atienden en centros sanitarios.Material y método: Revisión de la literatura.Resultados: Tanto los profesionales como las personas trans* perciben barreras significativas. Se podrían agrupar en diversos temas: desigualdades en la atención sanitaria percibidas por los pacientes trans*, prejuicios y discriminación sentida, riesgos específicos de salud, déficit de conocimientos de los profesionales y déficit de formación en los planes de estudio actuales. Por otro lado, enfermería ante los pacientes trans* puede resultar un facilitador.Conclusiones: Existen numerosos factores que pueden ser modificables y que provocan que las personas trans* no perciban una asistencia adecuada. La adecuada formación de los profesionales sanitarios es uno de los que adquiere mayor relevancia Los resultados encontrados aportan una información clave para el futuro diseño de intervenciones dirigidas a mejorar la calidad de la asistencia en este colectivo.

“…Examples of why studies were not considered in the review include: the research collectivizes 'transgender' within a study on 'LGBT' experiences of employment (i.e. Bell et al, 2011;Göçmen and Yılmaz, 2016); the researchers' focus is on the applicability of methods instead of results (i.e. Brewster et al, 2012), the research context is narrowed beyond the general experience of employment by gender-variant people (e.g.…”

This contribution is a corpus-based analysis of gender-variant discourse on Twitter, exploring users' strategies for organizing their experience and understanding of employment. The data are two specialized corpora: (1) the biographies of each of 2,881 self-identifying gender-variant users; (2) c.4,000,000 tweets posted by those users. The corpora are analyzed using a sociocognitive approach to discourse analysis (Van Dijk, 2009, 2015, 2017). The biographies are used to determine the demographic make-up of the sample. An analysis of the corpus of users' tweets will explore, and attempt to explain, the activated discourses around aspects of employment (i.e. representations of the self-as-employee, co-worker relationships, employers, and experiences in employment). In considering the contribution linguistics can make in understanding gender-variant people's experiences of employment, the focus of this research is threefold: (1) I consider the role of gender-variant users' cognitive organization of employment experience in either perpetuating or challenging marginalization in the workplace; (2) I consider the validity and reliability of a corpus-driven analysis in comparison to the credibility and validity of previous studies on the employment experiences of gendervariant people; (3) I consider the logical and ethical implications of considering only the roles of employers, policymakers, and co-workers in remedying marginalization in the workplace.
