Although the SO/GI data is aimed at the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) patient (CDC, 2019), intersex (I) is also an option in the EHR. While healthcare training exists for the LGBT population, nurses lack focused clinical training and cultural competency for the intersex/Differences of Sex Development (DSD) patient. Nurse education was implemented using a PowerPoint during Lunch-and-Learn sessions. Two questionnaires were administered pre-and post-education, a clinical knowledge survey, and a validated Health Belief Attitudes Instrument Survey (HBAS). Nineteen nurses attended the education sessions. A Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare survey data. Before receiving education, 53% of healthcare workers surveyed for this project reported never having heard the term DSD and 58% didn’t know intersex was not the same thing as transgender. There were significantly improved knowledge scores after the education (median = 3 correct) compared to before the education (median = 1 correct), Z=-3.62, p=0.0003. The percent of nurses who had heard the term DSD increased from 47% pre-education to 100% post-education. Nurses' scores on a DSD/intersex knowledge assessment increased from 33% pre-education to 100% post-education. Finally, nurses’ Health Belief Attitudes Instrument scores significantly increased from pre-education (M = 4.65, SD = 0.68) to post-education (M = 4.94, SD = 0.66), p = .017. Qualitative feedback supported the need for this project. This work will complement the existing SO/GI material in the hospital with the goal of enhancing patient outcomes for patients with DSDs/intersex conditions. 2021-04-27 English text Mount St. Joseph University Dept. of Nursing / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=msjdn161944517472267 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=msjdn161944517472267 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
