"I don't know much about providing pharmaceutical care to people who are transgender": A qualitative study of experiences and attitudes of pharmacists.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Globally, with the increased visibility, the number of transgender people accessing healthcare services has risen in the last decade. Although pharmacists are required to provide equitable and respectful care to all patients, their experiences interacting with trans and gender-diverse (TGD) people and attitudes towards the provision of care are largely unknown.

Objectives

This study aimed to determine the experiences and attitudes of pharmacists providing care to TGD people in Queensland, Australia.

Methods

Within a transformative paradigm, this study used semi-structured interviews conducted in person, over the phone, or through the Zoom app. Data were transcribed and analyzed by applying the constructs of the Theoretical Framework of Accessibility (TFA).<
