“…On the other hand, no published study could be found that corroborates these fi ndings. Therefore, it can be posited that similar to Landry and Kensler's study, [9] miscommunication can ensue, especially when the HCPs do not understand the terminology being used when discussing their clients' lifestyle, or they can present themselves as being curious without having the appropriate tools to help their clients.…”

“…Nurses can do this by being conscious of the importance of building a therapeutic relationship built on trust. [9] Pallota-Chiarolli [7] indicates how this can be done by including all family members in the care provided by HCPs during the transition to parenthood; however, it also includes stressing the importance of recognizing CNMPCs' strengths as families, all while acknowledging their differences.…”

“…[36] For example, during health visits, nurses can ask questions pertinent to what the visits are for, including those relating to sexuality, thus promoting the relationship between nurses and their clients. Also, nurses can be encouraged to have an open and honest, inclusive intake interview when seeing new clients that does not use heteromononormative language [9] Nurses need to develop, implement and evaluate a different clinical approach with CNMPCs who are a particular type of sexual minority, who are well aware of the health risks involved with their lifestyle, and who put their families fi rst, yet they do not let their sexual lifestyle interfere with their ability to parent their children.…”

“…[11] Taking on a more leadership role through their advanced practice, nurse administrators and managers can emulate behaviours that frontline staff can adopt, and promote continuing education workshops that allow for a greater representation of sexual minorities. [9] Researchers should be encouraged to be more aware of their biases and the pervasive heteromononormative assumptions in nursing research. [39] They can get around these issues by adopting critical theory, queer theory, and intersectionality theory, and integrating them into their research studies.…”

“…[7] Sexual minorities including CNMCs appear to experience more health disparities than the rest of the population. This can be attributed to minority stress, [8] which can increase with discrimination encountered in their daily lives as well as during health care encounters [9]. This population can experience higher levels of mental health issues, and higher rates of tobacco, alcohol, and substance use.…”

Consensual Non-Monogamous Parenting Couples’ Perceptions of Healthcare Providers during the Transition to Parenthood

Consensual non-monogamous parenting couples are at increased risk for health inequities, especially during the transition to parenthood. This article presents partial results of a more extensive mixed-methods study exploring the conciliation of these couples’ parenting role and their sexual lifestyle, more specifically, their perceptions of health care providers including nurses. Semi-structured interviews and online questionnaires were completed with a total of 6 participants. Positive and negative issues were identified that were clients- and health care providers-based. The Expanding the Movement for Empowerment and Reproductive Justice lens was used to discuss the positive and negative consequences. Nurses need to develop, implement and evaluate a different clinical approach with these couples, who are aware of the health risks associated with their lifestyle, yet they always put their families first. Nurse administrators need to assess their institutional policies that are based on hetero-mononormative assumptions.

USPSTF Approach to Addressing Sex and Gender When Making Recommendations for Clinical Preventive Services

Clinical preventive service recommendations from the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) are based on transparent, systematic, and rigorous methods that consider the certainty of the evidence and magnitude of net benefit. These guidelines aim to address the needs of diverse populations. Biological sex and gender identity are sources of diversity that are not often considered in studies of clinical preventive services that inform the recommendations, resulting in challenges when evaluating the evidence and communicating recommendations for persons in specific gender identification categories (man/woman/gender nonbinary/gender nonconforming/transgender). To advance its methods, the USPSTF reviewed its past recommendations that included the use of sex and gender terms, reviewed the approaches of other guideline-making bodies, and pilot tested strategies to address sex and gender diversity. Based on the findings, the USPSTF intends to use an inclusive approach to identify issues related to sex and gender at the start of the guideline development process; assess the applicability, variability, and quality of evidence as a function of sex and gender; ensure clarity in the use of language regarding sex and gender; and identify evidence gaps related to sex and gender. Evidence reviews will identify the limitations of applying findings to diverse groups from underlying studies that used unclear terminology regarding sex and gender. The USPSTF will use gender-neutral language when appropriate to communicate that recommendations are inclusive of people of any gender and will clearly state when recommendations apply to individuals with specific anatomy associated with biological sex (male/female) or to specific categories of gender identity. The USPSTF recognizes limited evidence to inform the preventive care of populations based on gender identity.

Lefebvre's production of space: Implications for nursing

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this paper, we argue that nurses need to be aware of how the production of space in specific contexts – including health care systems and research institutions – perpetuates marginalized populations' state of social otherness. Lefebvre's idea regarding spatial triad is mobilized in this paper, as it pertains to two‐spirited, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer populations (2SLGBTQ*). We believe that nurses can create counter‐spaces within health care systems and research institutions that challenge normative discourses. Lefebvre's work provides us the necessary tools to understand how various places or environments produce identities. In understanding Lefebvre's principles, we believe that nurses can play an essential role in creating counter‐spaces, thereby instigating counter‐institutional practices, for those who experience otherness.
