Abstract
Nurse practitioner (NP) and NP student perceptions of adult lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) health needs were qualitatively explored. One overreaching theme, “We need to do better. We have a lot to do,” and four key themes were identified: (1) same basic health needs as straight people; (2) a little more risk, a little more help, a little extra care; (3) breaking down that trusting, honest provider relationship; and (4) society sucks and social media and politics play a major role. Results support the need for future research exploring NP and NP student understanding of LGBT health needs.
