ABSTRACT

Since the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) community may be exposed to violence, discrimination, stigma, exclusion, and maltreatment due to their sexual orientation while accessing healthcare services, understanding, and improving the attitudes of future's health care professionals toward LGBTI individuals seem essential. This descriptive and cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the homophobia among medical, nursing, pharmacy, and healthcare sciences students and examine the related factors. The study included 2,531 students from medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and other health sciences (midwifery, nutrition and dietetics, physiotherapy, management of healthcare facilities) disciplines. Homophobia was measured with the Hudson and Ricketts Homophobia Scale. After getting ethical and institutional approvals, data were collected and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tests. Medical students had the lowest homophobia score, and their mean score was significantly lower than other students. There was a significant difference between students' scores according to years of study, age, sex, acquaintance with LGBTI individuals, providing healthcare services to an LGBTI person, and opinions on providing care. Although homophobia scores of nursing, pharmacy, and other health sciences students were lower than the medical students', policies and expansive content regarding LGBTI should be in place in all health science educational institutes, including medical schools, to prevent students from holding homophobic and prejudicial attitudes against LGBTI individuals.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: People who are compassionate to both themselves and others want to alleviate their experiences of pain and those of others. AIMS: This study aims to evaluate the predictive effect of self-compassion on relationship satisfaction and conflict resolution styles in romantic relationships in nursing students. METHODS: The sample of this study consists of 356 nursing students. The data are collected by using the Self-Compassion Scale, the Conflict Resolution Styles Scale in Romantic Relationships, and the Relationship Satisfaction Scale. A linear regression model is used to test the predictive effect of self-compassion on relationship satisfaction and conflict resolution styles in nursing students. RESULTS: Mean age of the participant is 20.70 ± 1.90, 68.5% (n = 244) of the nursing students are female, and 33.2% of them (n = 211) are male. Self-compassion is found to be a significant predictor of both relationship satisfaction and conflict resolution styles (positive conflict resolution, negative conflict resolution, and retreat) in romantic relationships (p < .05). CONCLUSION: Self-compassion is an important factor in relationship satisfaction and conflict resolution. These results of the study can be used to address conflict resolution problems in romantic relationships and further research.
