| Sumario: | When seeking health care, the LGBTQIA+ population is constantly exposed to vulnerabilities evidenced by prejudiced practices resulting from assistance that reproduces discrimination. Considering the importance of the debate on sexual and gender diversity, and in opposition to care based on presumed cis- heteronormativity, which is discriminatory and disconnected from the needs of the people who use the service, this work was based on concerns arising from the field of nursing. Are nurses prepared to assist the LGBTQIA+ population? What best practices can be adopted? Are they aware of the risks of ineffective care for LGBTQIA+ people? This qualitative study was carried out using a semi-structured questionnaire applied to 17 nurses working at the Hospital Maternidade Theresa Sacchi de Moura/Hospital da Mulher, in Barra Mansa, countryside of Rio de Janeiro, in the municipality of Barra Mansa, in the interior of Rio de Janeiro. In the process of scientific research, the technique of discourse analysis was adopted based on the statements compiled, which pointed to a lack of preparation in relation to the specificities of the LGBTQIA+ community, resulting in the reproduction of violence and, consequently, becoming a barrier to access to health services. |
