Review of Interventions to Promote Culturally Congruent Care for Sexual and Gender Minorities.

Sexual and gender minorities (SGMs) are more likely to suffer from healthcare disparities and inequities than heterosexuals. Whittmore and Knafl's method was used in this integrative review to examine interventions to promote culturally congruent care for SGMs. Using online databases and search alerts, 31 articles were searched, appraised, and included. There are universality and diversity in the characteristics of interventions to promote culturally congruent care for SGMs. The findings reveal that culturally congruent care interventions can significantly promote optimal health outcomes and effective care delivery for SGMs. Collaboration, partnership, and advocacy must be observed in conceptualizing culturally congruent care for sexual and gender minorities.
