Nursing students and role modeled behavior while caring for LGBTQ + people: a cross-sectional, descriptive study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundWhile efforts to improve the educational preparedness of nurses to care for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ +) people have increased, the influence of role-modeled behaviors by healthcare professionals working with nursing students and recent graduates is not well understood. The purpose of this study is to describe the role-modeled behaviors of healthcare professionals observed by nursing students and recent graduates caring for LGBTQ + patients in clinical settings.
methodsA cross-sectional, online survey was conducted. Recruitment of nursing students who had completed one or more clinical rotations or were recent graduates (≤ 2 years) was performed through university emails and social media. Items included measurement of stigmatizing attitudes, observed stigmatizing behaviors, and ability to provide inclusive/affirming care for LGBTQ + patients. Open-text items prompted participants to describe observed behaviors. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Wilcoxon signed rank sum tests to evaluate differences between LGB (lesbian, gay, bisexual) and T + (transgender and gender diverse) subscales. Open-text responses were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify relevant themes.
resultsParticipants (N = 73) had a low level of stigmatizing attitudes toward LGBTQ + people (M = 1.8, SD = 0.4), although higher stigmatizing attitudes toward T + people were reported (M = 3.0, SD = 0.2; Z = -7.254, p < .001). Half of the participants reported that they observed LGBTQ + stigmatizing behaviors role-modeled by two + healthcare professional roles; approximately one-third of participants personally engaged in one + LGBTQ + stigmatizing behaviors, most commonly toward T + people. Themes from participants' examples of observed stigmatizing behaviors included: cis-heteronormative bias, non-affirmation of chosen name/pronouns, outing patients, and rejected competency.
conclusionsThe majority of participants described observing stigmatizing behaviors toward LGBTQ + people in clinical settings. Poorer attitudes and a higher frequency of stigmatizing behaviors observed towards T + people point to deficits in healthcare provided to T + people in particular. Efforts to address LGBTQ + stigma in healthcare should be expanded to include clinical settings to address role-modeled behaviors and socialization of nurses.
