Bakgrund: Majoriteten av transpersoner har upplevt kränkningar och diskriminering relaterat till deras könsidentitet. Det är särskilt viktigt att hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal besitter kunskap om patientgruppen transpersoner. Många transpersoner har däremot vittnat om negativa upplevelser i samband med hälso- och sjukvården. Rädslan för att bli diskriminerad kan resultera i att transpersoner erhåller försenad behandling eller helt uteblir från att söka sig till hälso- och sjukvården. Syfte: Att utforska sjuksköterskors kunskaper och erfarenheter av att möta transpersoner inom hälso- och sjukvården. Metod: Litteraturstudie utfördes med en kvalitativ ansats. Studien följde Polit och Becks niostegsmodell för litteraturstudier. Tolv vetenskapliga artiklar hittades genom databaserna CINAHL och PubMed vilket senare analyserades med tematisk analys. Resultat: Utifrån resultatet identifierades tre teman och fem subteman. Det första teman heter Utbildning och kompetens vars subtema är Grundutbildning och bibehållande av kunskap, Kunskapskällor och Kunskapsluckor. Det andra teman heter Barriärer i vårdmötet med subteman Allmän behandling och Diskriminering. Det sista teman heter Bemötande och kommunikation. Slutsats: Sjuksköterskor besitter inte den kompetens som behövs i vårdmötet med patientgruppen transpersoner. Det finns ett behov av forskning inom ämnesområdet för att uppmärksamma transpersoners vårdbehov och öka sjuksköterskors kompetens för att minska ojämlikheter i hälsa

This research explores the unique and divergent experiences of LGBTQ+ young adults as they engage in identity and space-making practices at the intersection of gender/sexuality and religion. Utilizing queer theorists’ conceptualization of identity as a form of embodied and spatial labor, I critique the approach of existing scholarship that constructs LGBTQ+ and religious identities as incompatible or at least in need of reconciliation. Based on thirteen semi-structured interviews with LGBTQ+ young adults in Utah, my research makes visible how vulnerability and risk impact the strategies that LGBTQ+ young adults employ to navigate their identities and make space. It shows that they strategically navigate space wherever they find themselves, regardless of whether they encounter accommodation or belonging. In doing so, it comes to look beyond the narrative of visibility as the primary strategy for LGBTQ+ progress to recognize that LGBTQ+ young adults employ varied strategies of visibility and concealment to navigate the spaces where they find themselves.

This study examines what it means to be a Russian LGBTQ emigrant in light of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The study follows a phenomenological research approach that differs from the commonly used scientific approach that strives for objective knowledge. Through a qualitative study consisting of 5 participants who identify themselves as Russian LGBTQ emigrants, this research examines findings via affect theory, queer theory, and theories of social and cultural trauma to ask what it means to be a Russian LGBTQ emigrant, how the LGBTQ emigrant is constructed, and how the construct of being a Russian LGBTQ emigrant affects the subject. The study shows how the meaning of being a Russian LGBTQ emigrant is constructed through the effects of affect and how these effects create a collective, social, and cultural trauma that manifests in their everyday lived experiences while shaping their prospects for the future. / <p>2023-09-14</p>

This is a thematic study examining a popular Swedish public service television show for children. The purpose of the study is to uncover how the show, Bolibompa, has communicated diversity over the last 34 years. Through a thematic analysis with multimodal tools, we investigate three categories of diversity that have undergone change in how they are conveyed: ethnicity &amp; culture, gender and sexuality. A fourth category, disability, is briefly mentioned. Even though Bolibompa has progressed to become more positive towards diversity, there are still aspects left to criticize. While Bolibompa mediates multiculturality, only a few displays of creative diversity are shown. Furthermore, no homo- or bisexuality is seen in Bolibompa, although two trans people are seen and heard in 2020 and 2023 respectively. There are both similarities and differences in how Bolibompa shares its values concerning each of the three categories. Elements such as music, games, colors and clothes are used in different amounts depending on which message of diversity is being conveyed.

True Colors: Out Youth Theater at The Theater Offensive is a Boston based program that focuses its theatrical and social mission on engaging Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered (GLBT) at-risk, youth and the community that surrounds them. Through the process of generating an original touring production, True Colors employs theatre as a tool for personal, social, and artistic expression, empowerment, and activism. The program's balance of both process and product focused goals creates an environment of multifaceted engagement and provides an example of how art can thrive in a structure of youth outreach. Though directors and facilitators guide the process and final product, a fundamental mission of True Colors is to provide a student or youth-centered experience where inspiration, decisions, discussions, and leadership generates directly from participants. By observing and participating in the creation of one of these productions, I explore the impact of this student-centered structure on the personal perspectives and artistic growth of the GLBT participants and the artistic process of creating the production. My goal is to discover True Colors' effectiveness of achieving its mission to both create an impactful and positive process for the youth and also develop a final product that is artful and evokes social change. Additionally, by studying similar programs, I establish a basis of comparison against True Colors in order to develop a broader view of the field and evaluate the variances in methodology and the impact on youth and communities.
