Convenience sampling was used to measure recruit participants from six prelicensure nursing schools (Tartavoulle & Landry, 2021). The inclusion criteria entailed being a nursing student who has undertaken a minimum of one nursing course. Exclusion criteria entailed prior exposure to LGBTQI+ interventions. The Genderism and Transphobia Scale and Homonegativity Scale were used to measure the study variables. The former scale measured violence and negative attitudes towards transgender individuals. The Homonegativity scale examined negative attitudes towards lesbians and gay men (Tartavoulle & Landry, 2021).
Furthermore, 15 items measured knowledge about transgender treatment practices, perceptions, and policies. Data collectors ensured they maintained the confidentiality of participants. The intervention was a two-hour Advocacy Training program that researchers taught. Consent was determined through the completion of the two tests.
During the research, learners undertook a pre-test to determine their baseline beliefs about LGBTQI+ members. The students then underwent the training and took the posttest within 24 hours of completing the training (Tartavoulle & Landry, 2021). Collected data were analyzed through the Statistical Analysis System.
