Online published on 23 December, 2019. Abstract Lack of knowledge about LGBT in Nursing students will hinder the process of nursing care given to LGBT patients when practicing in health care settings. Therefore the knowledge of students must be improved, so that the implementation of nursing care can be maximized. This type of research is quasi-experimental with a one-group pretest-posttest approach with control group design. The sample amounted to 119 people, taken by proportional random sampling technique. The study was conducted from January to July 2017. Analysis of the data using a paired sample t-test. The results showed that there was an increase in the average knowledge and attitudes of respondents after being given an intervention. From the results of the test, analysis shows that there is an influence of education on the knowledge and attitudes of respondents (p = 0, 000). It is expected that all respondents can always increase their knowledge about LGBT so that nursing care can improve the health of these patients. Top Keywords Students, nursing, education, LGBT. Top |
