Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex and Asexual (LGBTQIA+) people struggle to identify a healthcare service that understands their problems and needs. Additionally, healthcare professionals also find it difficult to care for LGBTQIA+ as very little is studied or heard about management. The article presents a protocol for a pilot study aimed at the development of an LGBTQIA+ care curriculum for health science professionals. The study includes Phase I: The development of a curriculum based on a literature review and focus group discussion among LGBTQIA+ individuals, and Phase II: Pilot testing of LGBTQIA+ care curriculum. The study outcome will reflect the improvement in the knowledge of healthcare professionals on LGBTQIA+ care.

The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, and Asexual (LGBTQIA+) are a varied group of people with different gender identities, sexual orientations, and reproductive development. All members of the LGBTQIA+ community have different healthcare-related problems and requirements, even though they are sometimes grouped as a coalition. However, they share the stigma and discrimination that have hindered them from accessing quality healthcare in several ways (Agarwal & Thiyam, 2022; MacKenzie et al., 2020). Human health and social systems are interrelated. According to a Yang (2021) study, LGBTQIA+ individuals confront social challenges such as stigma, homophobia, discrimination, coming out, insufficient social support systems, and a lack of LGBTQIA+-friendly medical resources that not only put them in danger of physical and mental harm but also put their health at risk. LGBTQIA+ individuals face discrimination, violence, and bullying as they come to terms with their identity. LGBTQIA+ individuals are more vulnerable to mental health problems including anxiety and depression as a result of this type of minority stress (Yang, 2021). According to the original model of Meyers (2003), stressors are generated from having a minority status, which is overrun by the circumstances of their environment, leading to mental and physical ill-effects that have a negative impact on the lives of the socially stigmatized LGBTQIA community.
Individuals can self-identify in different ways, including gender identity and sexual orientation. For the remainder of the text, we will refer to this spectrum collectively as the LGBTQIA+ community. The terms “L” for lesbian and “G” for gay refer to people who are attracted to people of the same gender; “B” for bisexual means they are attracted to people of both genders; and “T” for transgender means they identify as a gender other than the one they were given at birth; Q for Queer a sexual orientation that isn't only straight or heterosexual. It's a general word that covers those with gender-fluid or non-binary identities. It may also imply ‘Questioning’- A person who seeks answers about their gender identity or sexual orientation is said to be "questioning”; "I" stands for intersex, a term used to characterize individuals who do not conform to traditional classifications of female or male due to differences in their reproductive anatomy or sex features. Differences may exist in terms of internal sex organs, hormones, chromosomes, genitalia, and/or secondary sex traits; "A" stands for "asexual," a term used to characterize someone who is not attracted to or desirous of other people sexually. It's not the same as celibacy when individuals choose not to engage in sexual behaviours. The ‘+’ recognizes and includes additional identities and orientations not covered by the initials and refers to the community’s dynamic nature (Agarwal & Thiyam, 2022). A person’s sexual and emotional attraction to another person, any resulting behaviour, and/or social connection are all considered to be part of their sexual orientation. The strongly held, innate notion that a person has of being a boy, a man, or another member of the male, female, or alternate gender is considered their gender identity. The way society views homosexuality varies widely between countries and historical eras. Heterosexuality is now accepted as the standard across the globe. LGBTQIA+ individuals face stigma and stereotypes in many countries. Despite the Delhi High Court's 2009 decriminalization of homosexuality, on December 11, 2013, the Indian Supreme Court upheld section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, which criminalizes adult consensual same-sex intercourse (Kar et al., 2018; Sathyanarayana Rao & Jacob, 2012; Somasundaram & Murthy, 2016). The Supreme Court of India recognized LGBTQIA+ people as the third gender in April 2014, and any discrimination against them was viewed as a violation of their constitutional rights (Kar et al., 2018; Khatri Babbar, 2016).
Despite recent developments in the acceptance of LGBTQIA+ individuals, education on LGBTQIA+ health requirements for health professionals still lags far behind despite evidence showing a tremendous rise in LGBTQIA+ acceptance and the achievement of equality in many sectors. Multiple studies and reviews of health issues have shown a persistent gap in healthcare education, with no standard texts that include information concerning care for LGBTQIA+ individuals (Keuroghlian et al., 2017). LGBTQIA+ community members encounter several difficulties regarding sexual orientation and gender identity in a heteronormative culture. Additionally, they frequently experience prejudice and sexual assault. Further, their medical requirements are more likely to be overlooked or socially rejected due to their sexual orientation and gender identity, which can affect their medical rights and the medical care they receive. LGBTQIA+ individuals frequently struggle with coming out when dealing with medical professionals. Two things worry them; First, medical professionals’ ignorance, bias, and discrimination may impair their right to get medical care. Second, incomplete information disclosure may influence a disease’s diagnosis or possibly lead to a misdiagnosis. LGBTQIA+ individuals must carefully balance the risks of coming out with the benefit of having the right medical attention and support. These factors frequently lead to psychological pressure, which is harmful to both physical and mental health (Yang, 2021).
The stigmatized and discriminated populations must be addressed by healthcare practitioners. Understanding how medical students feel about homosexuality is crucial for improving the healthcare system. Patients who identify as LGBTQIA+ have encountered stigmatization, discrimination, and even refusal of care within the healthcare system (Kar et al., 2018). In 2017, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS UNAIDS report stated that LGBTQIA+ individuals made up 4.3% of the population in India who were at high risk of contracting AIDS (Kar et al., 2018). Due to the underrepresentation of such information in medical school curricula, clinicians may not be aware of or sensitive to the needs and issues faced by LGBTQIA+ patients when they encounter them (Sequeira et al., 2012; Magnus & Lundin, 2016).
Healthcare professionals are frequently not trained in or sensitive to the requirements of LGBTQIA+ individuals’ health. Additionally, it might be challenging for professionals to talk about identity in general, especially when it comes to sexual orientation and gender identity. Medical education institutions can sometimes become the breeding ground for a heteronormative ideology that supports heterosexualism (Lundin, 2011; Magnus & Lundin, 2016). Heteronormativity refers to the belief that only two opposite and mutually complementary genders exist – or that gender and sexual variation simply do not exist in social institutions (Kannisto, 2019). Healthcare professionals frequently lack the necessary training and awareness regarding the health needs of LGBTQIA+ individuals. Moreover, they often find it challenging to have a conversation regarding sexuality, especially when it comes to gender identity and sexual orientation. LGBTQIA+ individuals have obstacles in receiving adequate healthcare because of inadequate training, heterosexist attitudes, or both. Inaccurate risk estimates for pregnancy, STIs, and the ineffective or improper use of screening tools can all be caused by heterosexist attitudes. These challenges could have a detrimental impact on the management of these patients' treatments and, eventually, their health (Wahlen et al., 2020).
The LGBTQIA+ community is substantially more likely to experience various risk factors for poor health than heterosexual people, such as being less likely to have health insurance, being more likely to be obese, smoking more regularly, and engaging in binge and heavy drinking, the population’s age warrants additional attention. In addition, compared to heterosexual women, lesbian and bisexual women may undergo fewer preventative screenings for colon, breast, and cervical cancer. This is partly due to fear of not receiving respectful healthcare. Healthcare professionals are at the forefront of this effort and have the chance to treat everyone with respect, regardless of their sexual orientation and gender identity. Lack of time, finances, education, and clinical experience are a few obstacles that can prohibit physicians from providing respectful medical care (Walker et al., 2016). Doctor-patient interaction is essential for enhancing people’s health (Parker & Bhugra, 2000). Patients may opt to keep their sexual orientation and gender identity private. In such situations, healthcare professionals must be vigilant and compassionate to deliver the best care (Grabovac et al., 2014).
There are no such policies or curricula for treating LGBTQIA+ patients in India’s healthcare sector. LGBTQIA+ people have common social tendencies and decisions that impact their behavior while seeking healthcare, preventative health measures, and illness risk (Kaufman et al., 2014). It is vital to make accessible, responsive, appropriate, and well-resourced healthcare services provided by knowledgeable and trained healthcare professionals to support a better patient experience. Higher education institutions and healthcare organizations have a significant role in developing curricula (Cui, 2023) that can be accessed by all groups, including those who identify as LGBTQIA+ (McCann & Brown, 2018). Healthcare institutions must create a welcoming environment and make allowances for people with diverse gender identities and sexual orientations (Hafford-Letchfield et al., 2017).
Medical school teachers play a vital role in helping medical students become better prepared to treat these underserved communities and reduce healthcare disparities (Alhanachi et al., 2021; Chinchilla & Arcaya, 2017). Training healthcare professionals during their studies can help them feel more at ease when caring for these patients and give better treatment, an essential technique for improving understanding and attitudes about LGBTQIA+ persons among healthcare professionals (Wahlen et al., 2020). Inculcating positive LGBTQIA+ attitudes among healthcare providers plays a great role in reducing homophobia and transphobia (Gegenfurtner, 2021). The scope of the proposed research is to develop a module on the care of LGBTQIA+ individuals for health professionals and pilot test on faculty and students of health sciences, including faculties and students from MSc nursing, MPhil psychology, Head nurses, Medicine, and Nurse educators in the form of workshops. For this purpose, a need assessment through a review of the literature and focus group discussion with LGBTQIA+ individuals will be done. The project contributes to enhancing the UN's sustainable goals, such as SDG 3- Good health and well-being, and SDG 10- Reduced inequality.
How is a module on the care of LGBTQIA+ individuals on health professionals effective in increasing their knowledge?
Primary research question
What are the healthcare needs of LGBTQIA+ people?
To answer the primary research question, lead questions will be used to assess LGBTQIA+ individuals’ care needs, barriers to accessing care, and expectations from healthcare professionals.
Secondary research question
How effective is a module on the care of LGBTQIA+ individuals in increasing the knowledge of health professionals?
To achieve this question, a structured knowledge-based questionnaire on LGBTQIA+ care will be administered to the health science students and faculty to assess their knowledge about LGBTQIA+ care.
Hypothesis/Assumptions
It is hypothesized that a module on the care of LGBTQIA+ individuals will significantly increase the knowledge of health professionals.
Based on the previously published literature related to the needs of LGBTQIA+, it is assumed that
a. LGBTQIA+ individuals experience stigma and discrimination.
b. The present health science curriculum does not have a specific unit that deals with the management of LGBTQIA+ health problems.
c. There is a lack of structured guidelines for managing the health conditions of LGBTQIA+ people.
Design
The study includes two phases: Phase I - development of a module on the care of LGBTQIA+ individuals for health professionals based on the literature and the need assessment through the focus group discussion among LGBTQIA+ individuals; and Phase II - A pilot testing of the module for health science faculty and students with pre- and post-test assessment design. A conceptual framework of the research design is shown in Figure 1.
a. Literature review
A module on the care of LGBTQIA+ individuals for health professionals will be developed based on the detailed literature review and analysis of focus group discussion (FGD). The literature will be reviewed in detail through different sources to understand the needs of the LGBTQIA+ community. This includes academic research databases such as SCOPUS, Web of Science, PubMed, Science Direct, and CINAHL Complete. The grey literature search will also be initiated. The literature search is primarily conducted to find out the existing healthcare needs of the LGBTQIA+ community, and it does not involve systematic reviews. The literature on the needs, problems, and expectations of LGBTQIA+ will be studied and used to develop module.
b. Focus group discussion
The FGD will be conducted in a district government office in coordination with the local government health department. The Principal Investigator will moderate the FGD by following the standard methodology (Kitzinger, 1995). The data will be collected from the participants after obtaining administrative permission from the authorities. The participant information will be explained in the local language, and a signed informed consent form will be obtained from the participants to collect the data and for audio recording. The participants' sociodemographic data will be taken, and the participants will self-report their sexual orientation and gender identity. The lead questions prepared for the FGD will be used to conduct the discussion (Box 1). After receiving consent from the participants, a discussion will be initiated using the lead questions. Participants are encouraged to communicate and discuss their healthcare needs and expectations from the healthcare facility. Based on the participant’s response, probe questions will be asked till all the questions are answered. The FGD will be recorded using an audio recorder with the consent of the participants and nonverbal communication during the discussion. It will be used as an adjunct while transcribing the discussion. A sociogram also will be drawn to record the interactions among the participants. The FGD session will be closed by the moderator after the important points have been summarized to the participants. The team will thank the participants and compensate them for the quality time spent by the participants. The data gathered will be thematically analyzed (Braun & Clarke, 2021; Kyngäs et al., 2019), and will be used to develop the module for health professionals.
a. Describe your experience of visiting a hospital/clinic. (Probe-interaction with health professionals)
b. What are your health needs that require medical attention?
c. Explain the changes you expect to address your health needs.
d. What are your expectations for addressing yourself?
e. What are your expectations from the health care provider when you visit the hospital/clinic?
f. How can a healthcare provider best assess your health needs?
g. How can healthcare providers help you treat any illness?
h. What are the challenges you face in seeking treatment for your health needs?
i. Explain any other information you would like to bring to our attention.
c. Development of a module on the care of LGBTQIA+ individuals
Based on the literature review and FGD analysis, the authors will draft the module on the care of LGBTQIA+ individuals for health professionals. The content of the module is divided among the authors to have six chapters. Following the development of the module based on the literature review and the outcomes of the focus group discussions, the draft will be referred to the experts for content validation. Two experts will conduct this validation: one will be a transgender person with expertise in medical science, and the other will be an expert in health sciences education. The final module will be developed based on the expert’s suggestions. The developed module on the care of LGBTQIA+ individuals for health professionals will be used for Phase II.
The module will be pilot-tested in the form of workshops for faculty and students of health sciences in the workplace. The faculty and students will be from nursing, medicine, psychology, and nurse educators. The workshop will be for one day. Knowledge will be assessed before and after the workshop using a questionnaire. The tentative topics covered in the workshop are an introduction to LGBTQIA+ care, inclusive communication, LGBTQIA+ community and health care- treatment management, mental health services for LGBTQIA+, research and evidence-based practice, interpersonal communication, and ethical and legal issues in LGBTQIA+ health care. Feedback from the participants will also be taken for the modification of the module. The module will be finalized after the pilot study, and recommendations will be submitted to health sciences institutions, their regulatory bodies, and funding agencies.
Phase I
Phase I includes an FGD to assess the healthcare needs among self-identified LGBTQIA+ individuals. The result of the FGD and the literature review will help in preparing the module.
One face-to-face FGD of 10-15 individuals who are a representative number of the self-reported LGBTQIA+ community will be recruited using purposive sampling. The details of the participants will be collected from the district authorities. They will be contacted to schedule the FGD. The sample size is kept under 10-15 to support the depth of FGD and subsequent analysis.
Inclusion criteria
• The participants who self-report as LGBTQIA+ community and can speak in Kannada or English.
• Individuals who are above the age of 18 years.
• Individuals who are willing to participate in the focus group discussion.
Exclusion criteria
• Any individuals who are crossdressers.
• Any member of the LGBTQIA+ community who has a diagnosed mental disorder listed under chapter F of ICD 10, except gender identity disorder.
Drop-out criteria and withdrawal
Data collection from participants will cease when they withdraw their consent to participate, and the data that is in question will be excluded during the analysis.
The participants for phase II will be selected from the health sciences institutions offering medical, nursing, and other health science programs through their heads of the institution. Faculty and students will be recruited face-to-face for the study, and the module will be pilot-tested both among the faculty and students through workshops. No dropouts are expected as the workshop is for one day.
The number of participants for this group will be based on the formula:
where;
α (two-tailed) = % Threshold probability for rejecting the null hypothesis. Type I error rate.
β = % Probability of failing to reject the null hypothesis under the alternative hypothesis. Type II error rate.
E = Effect size
SΔ = Standard Deviation of the change in the outcome
Zα = Standard normal deviate for α = 1.9600
Zβ = Standard normal deviate for β = 0.8416
B = (Zα + Zβ)2 = 7.8489
C = (E/SΔ)2 = 0.2844
N = B/C =27.5937
The N thus calculated is rounded up to 30 participants from students and faculty groups.
Students from medical (n = 10), nursing (n = 10), clinical psychology (n = 5), and senior nurses from the teaching hospital (n = 5) will be trained in the ‘student workshop’ whereas faculty from medicine (n = 10), nursing (n = 10) and psychology (n = 5) and middle-level nurse managers or educators (n = 5) will be trained in the ‘faculty workshop’. Undergraduate students and faculty are excluded from the ‘student workshop’, and similarly, students are excluded from the ‘faculty workshop’.
The outcome variables will be:
Phase I:
• Needs of the LGBTQIA+ individuals (analyzed) from FGD
• A module on the care of LGBTQIA+ individuals for health professionals
Phase II:
• Knowledge of health professionals on the care of LGBTQIA+ individuals is measured using a structured knowledge questionnaire.
Primary outcome
The healthcare needs of LGBTQIA+ individuals will be assessed, and the data gathered will be used to develop the module for health professionals.
Secondary outcome
The module developed using the data gathered by FGD, literature review, and experts’ inputs will positively influence how LGBTQIA+ individuals are getting cared for by healthcare providers.
Plan for data analysis
Phase I
The FGD will be analysed by thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2021; Renjith et al., 2021). The focus of the FGD analysis is not to identify the individual contributions to the discussion but to present the spectrum of opinions of the entire group (Van Eeuwijk & Angehrn, 2017). The data will be divided into simpler text units for coding, and the coding will be done manually. Units of meaningful text corresponding to similar codes will be grouped and categorized systematically by the authors. Any differences in the process of coding and categorizing will be resolved by discussion among the authors. Consensus will be achieved during these face-to-face discussions. The codes will be categorized into inductive and deductive. Inductive codes will be content-driven and raised by participants, whereas deductive codes will originate from the discussion guide and will then be verified with data (Hennink et al., 2019).
Phase II: Descriptive statistics like frequency and percentage will be used for the data analysis of the workshop participants. The knowledge data will be analysed using a paired t-test.
Dissemination
Results will be disseminated via presentations at appropriate scientific conferences and meetings of professional bodies. The study will also be published in peer-reviewed journals, professional and institutional repositories, etc. The results will be discussed with governmental bodies and other stakeholders for broader implementation.
Status of the study
The study team completed the draft module and is currently in the process of pilot-testing the module on the care of LGBTQIA+ individuals for health professionals (phase II). The study is expected to be completed by December 2024, and the results will be published by 2024 and 2025. This protocol will help in reducing unnecessary duplication of effort and the costs of future studies.
The previous study findings show that LGBTQIA+ individuals face more difficulties accessing care because of their sexual orientation and gender identities. The study found that young adult lesbians had a harder time getting access to care than young adult homosexual males. This finding is consistent with earlier research that identified differences in the healthcare experiences of sexual minority individuals. Additionally, due to negative experiences associated with their sexual orientation and identity, gay males were more prone than lesbians to delay care. Young men may be more forthcoming about their sexual orientation and identity in healthcare, which may increase the potential for negative experiences, whereas young women may be more reticent to disclose their sexual orientation and identity to providers and, as a result, feel limited in their ability to access affirming care (Macapagal et al., 2016).
Contrary to earlier findings, few individuals claimed to have encountered LGBTQIA+-related discrimination in medical settings. Furthermore, the majority stated that telling their provider about their gender identity and sexual orientation had a neutral to positive impact on their care (Mosack et al., 2013). The findings from previous studies suggested that changes in the healthcare system will promote inclusive care. Studies have shown that reluctance to talk about sexual orientation and gender identity was brought on by ignorance of the medical requirements for LGBTQIA+ patients (LaVaccare et al., 2018). According to a previous research study, students who had more contact with LGBTQIA+ patients were more likely to ask about a patient’s sexual orientation and gender identity and check for children in the patient’s family. The disclosure of this information during patient interactions may be improved by early intervention by educators who teach students appropriate questions to ask during the history-taking process (Sanchez et al., 2006).
The current study will explore the healthcare needs of LGBTQIA+ individuals and will result in education programs and initiatives that can improve knowledge about LGBTQIA+ individuals. It will also provide practical techniques that can easily be included in the health science curriculum, which will help reduce disparities. The module will improve the healthcare professionals’ knowledge about sexual orientation, gender identity, sexual behaviour, and sex anatomy comfort of LGBTQIA+ patients. It will also enhance the self-confidence and comfort of healthcare professionals who treat LGBTQIA+ people. Previous studies have found health professionals who are trained in inclusive LGBTQIA+ care were able to address sexual health without shame, hesitation, or ignorance and help the members of the LGBTQIA+ community (Agarwal & Thiyam, 2022). The module will summarize the healthcare needs, barriers, and expectations based on FGD and primary care recommendations for LGBTQIA+ patients. This study will support the necessity for a curricular framework to reduce unconscious bias among students of healthcare professions toward LGBTQIA+ patients.
The study will address the critical gap in the healthcare professional curriculum in terms of LGBTQIA+ care. The module will enhance the skills and knowledge of healthcare providers in caring for LGBTQIA+ individuals and help them understand their needs and expectations. It will promote healthcare professionals’ positive attitudes toward LGBTQIA+ patients and improve comfort working with LGBTQIA+ patients. The module will guide researchers and educators looking to reduce prejudice against LGBTQIA+ patients in healthcare professionals, as well as a framework for teaching students to recognize and overcome their own biases. Educational Strategies that reduce bias in healthcare providers are essential steps to improving LGBTQIA+ communities' access to treatment and reducing health inequalities.
Table 1 depicts the activities and publications that will be carried out throughout the project. The project will endure for two years.
The Institutional Ethics Committee of Kasturba Medical College and Kasturba Hospital reviewed and approved the proposal on 11th May 2022 (IEC1-138/2022). The protocol has been registered to the Clinical Trial Registry-India. Permission has been obtained from the local government authorities concerned, and written informed consent has been taken from the participants in the study. The data relating to the participants will be kept confidential and used anonymously for this study only. Codes will be used for each participant.
The module developed using the data given by the participants will positively influence how LGBTQIA+ individuals are being cared for by healthcare providers. This project makes a timely contribution to discussions concerning the function of professional educational interventions, which evaluates the impact of educational curricula and training for healthcare students and professionals on LGBTQIA+ healthcare issues. A policy document will be made at the end of the study by highlighting the study’s implications and will be disseminated among the ministries and other regulatory bodies of health and education.
