Objective: to develop and implement an online education
resources to address a gap in nursing education regarding the
concept of cultural humility and its application to healthcare
encounters with persons who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender, queer, intersex (LGBTQI) or Two-Spirit. Improved
understanding of LGBTQI and Two-Spirit community health
issues is essential to reducing the healthcare access barriers
they currently face. Method: an online educational toolkit was
developed that included virtual simulation games and curated
resources. The development process included community
involvement, a team-building meeting, development of learning
outcomes, decision-point maps and scriptwriting for filming.
A website and learning management system was designed to
present learning objectives, curated resources, and the virtual
games. Results: the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
Nursing Toolkit was created to advance cultural humility in
nursing practice. The learning toolkit focuses on encounters
using cultural humility to meet the unique needs of LGBTQI
and Two-Spirit communities. Conclusion: our innovative
online educational toolkit can be used to provide professional
development of nurses and other healthcare practitioners to
care for LGBTQI and Two-Spirit individuals.
