Abstract

<p>The present study aimed to provide an overview of the content of LGBT studies to date with a focus on the kind of people and relationships LGBT people perceive as “family” based on review articles about nursing studies on LGBT people and their families. A search of PubMed, MEDLINE, and CINAHL was conducted, the 10 resulting papers were classified by theme, and knowledge about family nursing characteristics of each theme was gathered. The themes of the 10 papers were sorted into “nursing for lesbian and gay couples to start a family,” “nursing for the mental health of transgender youth and their families,” “nursing for LGBT cancer survivors and their families,” and “end-of-life care for LGBT people and their families.” It is difficult to truly understand LGBT people and their families within the framework of “typical families” where monogamy and cisgender people are the mainstream. Further nursing education and research that includes the topic of LGBT people and their families are needed to implement LGBT-friendly nursing practice.</p>
