ABSTRACT
AIM:
This study analyzed psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) students' reflections following a virtual simulated encounter with a patient who identified as transgender or gender expansive (TGE).BACKGROUND:
To reduce mental health disparities, PMHNP students must be prepared to deliver affirming care. Engaging in and reflecting on simulated encounters with standardized patients can improve PMHNP students' affirming care competency.METHOD:
A thematic analysis process was used to analyze student reflections during simulation debriefings.RESULTS:
Five themes emerged application of affirming care principles, recognizing minority stressors, treating all patients the same, desire to learn more, and valuing authentic practice.CONCLUSION:
PMHNP students' reflections on the experience of providing care to a standardized patient who identified as TGE support the use of virtual simulations to prepare future providers to deliver affirming, person-centered care.
