Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender clinical competence of health professionals in Poland and Spain: results of the health exclusion research in Europe (HERE) study
The study revealed significant differences in LGBT competency between Polish and Spanish health professionals. Factors such as gender, age, profession, and participation in LGBT-related training were associated with these competencies. Results suggest that a more tailored approach in professional education and training may be necessary to ensure all health workers possess adequate skills and attitudes toward LGBT care.
