從醫事人員的性別培力談多元性別友善醫療環境建構

Creating a LGBT Friendly Medical Environment by Enhancing Gender Competence of Healthcare Professionals

本文從醫事人員的性別培力工作討論多元性別友善醫療環境建構。性別友善的醫療體系建構不應只侷限在以女性為關懷對象，應該擴及思索所有性別弱勢者的處境與經驗，而性別友善要求也應逐步擴及不同的分科。本文透過分析醫護人員的訪談資料，指出醫護人員的性別培力，可以充實相關性別知識，加上態度與技能的培養，讓臨床能力融入性別素養，使多元性別者的需求不再被漠視或忽略，則所有病人在醫療院所之中能更有尊嚴的求診看病，讓尊重差異的關懷落實於健康照護領域。

 

This article discusses the establishment of a gender-friendly healthcare environment through the gender empowerment of healthcare professionals. Efforts to build a gender-friendly healthcare system should not focus solely on women. Instead, they should move beyond the misconception of overly associating women with reproductive roles. Notably, the experiences and circumstances of all gender minorities should be considered. Furthermore, gender-friendly practices should be gradually integrated across various medical specialties. Through an analysisof interview data, this article indicates that implementing gender empowerment for healthcare professionals can enhance their gender knowledge and, when combined with appropriate attitudes and skills, facilitate the integrationof gender literacy into clinical competence. When the needs of diverse genders are accounted for, all patients can access care with greater dignity in healthcare institutions, and the spirit of respect for diversity can be realized in healthcare.
