Reducing Adult Transgender Barriers to Care in the Emergency Department: Strategies to Improve Policies and Practices

Abstract

The Research to Practice column is intended to improve the research critique skills of the advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) and the emergency department (ED) registered nurse (RN) and to assist with translating research into practice. In this column, we review a recent qualitative research study by M. Allison, S. Marshall, G. Stewart, M. Joiner, C. Nash, and M. Stewart (2021) titled "Experiences of Transgender and Gender Nonbinary Patients in the Emergency Department and Recommendations for Health Care Policy, Education, and Practice" with discussion of how their findings can be applied to inform providers how to deliver appropriate care of transgender patients within the ED.
