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

The 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.
