LGBTQI + healtheducation for dental students: a systematic review
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.5335/rfo.v26i1.11491Keywords:
Sexual and Gender Minorities, Education, DentistryAbstract
Objective: to investigate in the dental literature
studies addressing different aspects of LGBTQI+
(Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transsexuals, Queer
Population, Intersex and others) education topics
and the approaches used to reduce inequalities
and prejudices in dental care. Methods: a search was conducted in the PubMed, Scopus, Web
of Science and BVS/Bireme databases, until July
2017. After removing duplicates, two independent
reviewers conducted the selection of articles. Results: the initial search resulted in 924 titles. After
complete reading, eight studies completed the inclusion criteria. The articles included in this review demonstrated that students, student leaders
and administrators recognize support and inclusion measures. Some institutions presented topics
related to the LGBTQI+ population in their curriculum, but often related to diseases. This approach was identified as weak and insufficient for a
qualified service. Only two studies presented methods for teaching LGBTQI+, but only one assess
qualitative results. Conclusions: there is a lack of
studies that approach the education of LGBTQI+
topics mainly related to teaching methodologies.
Keywords: sexual and gender minorities; education; dentistry.
