The objective of this study was to develop the LGBTQ+ Inclusivity Training and Education (LITE) toolkit and to examine the usability and acceptability of the LITE toolkit to health care workers and staff who work within skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). A community-engaged approach using human-centered design to develop the LITE toolkit. To test the usability and acceptability of the LITE toolkit, we provided a posttest survey to users after a 9-week period. The LITE toolkit was distributed to 25 SNFs throughout a 7-county area in North Carolina. Development processes included an LGBTQ+ community advisory board, development of resource topics and a list of best practices, and development of a website. The LITE toolkit comprised a website of LGBTQ+ resources, poster of 6 Best Practices to LGBTQ+ Care, rainbow lapel pins, and writing pens with the LITE logo. Online surveys were distributed to SNF administrators to share with health care workers and staff to collect data on the usability and acceptability of the LITE toolkit. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. Fifteen participants completed the survey. Answering all survey questions was not a requirement. Seventy-nine percent (n = 14) of SNF health care workers indicated that the LITE toolkit was “easy to understand” and that they were satisfied with the contents. Fifty-three percent (n = 15) responded that the LITE toolkit would improve the way they care for patients. Sixty-six percent (n = 15) of health care workers and staff strongly agreed the LITE toolkit was applicable to their job role. Providing useful and acceptable LGBTQ+-focused training and education for members of the SNF community addresses the need for health care worker and staff training to foster equitable care and inclusive environments for the LGBTQ+ older adult community. Additional work focused on understanding the facilitators and barriers to using the LITE toolkit in the SNF setting is needed.

LGBTQ+ 包容性培训和教育:熟练护理机构的工具包



本研究的目的是开发 LGBTQ+ 包容性培训和教育 (LITE) 工具包,并检查 LITE 工具包对医护人员和在熟练护理机构 (SNF) 内工作的工作人员的可用性和可接受性。采用以人为本的设计来开发 LITE 工具包的社区参与方法。为了测试 LITE 工具包的可用性和可接受性,我们在 9 周后向用户提供了后测调查。 LITE 工具包已分发给北卡罗来纳州 7 个县的 25 个 SNF。开发流程包括 LGBTQ+ 社区咨询委员会、资源主题的开发和最佳实践列表以及网站的开发。 LITE 工具包包括 LGBTQ+ 资源网站、LGBTQ+ 关怀的 6 项最佳实践海报、彩虹徽章和带有 LITE 徽标的书写笔。在线调查已分发给 SNF 管理员,以便与医护人员和工作人员共享,以收集有关 LITE 工具包的可用性和可接受性的数据。使用描述性统计进行数据分析。十五名参与者完成了调查。不要求回答所有调查问题。 79% (n = 14) 的 SNF 卫生保健工作者表示 LITE 工具包“易于理解”并且他们对内容感到满意。百分之五十三 (n = 15) 的受访者表示 LITE 工具包将改善他们护理患者的方式。 66% (n = 15) 的医护人员和工作人员强烈同意 LITE 工具包适用于他们的工作角色。 为 SNF 社区成员提供有用且可接受的以 LGBTQ+ 为重点的培训和教育,满足医护人员和工作人员培训的需求,从而为 LGBTQ+ 老年人社区营造公平的护理和包容性环境。需要开展更多工作,重点了解在 SNF 设置中使用 LITE 工具包的促进因素和障碍。
