Sexual Orientation and Acceptance to Heteronormative Beliefs toward Student Nurses' Clinical Performance

Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 23, Issue 4

Abstract

This research aims to determine the relationship between the level of acceptance of heteronormative beliefs to the clinical performance of 4th-year BSN students of Riverside College, Inc. Different variables were examined, such as sex, sexual orientation, and religion. The descriptive-correlational research design was utilized using a quantitative method conducted with 97 4th-year BSN students using Habarth’s Heteronormative Attitudes and Beliefs Scale (HABS). This study revealed that there is no significant correlation using Pearson Correlation between the level of acceptance of heteronormative beliefs when correlated to the clinical performance of 4th-year BSN students. Their level of acceptance of heteronormative beliefs, when grouped according to the aforementioned variables, posited a high acceptance level. As to their clinical performance, 4th-year BSN students have very good clinical performance regardless of sex, sexual orientation, and religion, and it does not affect the quality of care that they provide among patients with diverse beliefs and sexual identities. The researcher proposed that a gender equality program be implemented to enhance gender inclusion among nursing students and clinical instructors while also increasing the quality of nursing practice and education in both academic and clinical settings.
