1 Introduction

There is more awareness and focus than ever before on issues of the health and healthcare needs of gender minority groups such as transgender and gender diverse communities (TGD) and with that comes a responsibility for nurses to develop the knowledge and skills required for effective and appropriate care (Gilmore, Dainton, and Halpin 2024). The World Professional Assocation for Transgender Health (WPATH) Standards of Care (SOC-8) guidelines (Coleman et al. 2022) provide the most substantial guide for the provision of care to TGD communities globally. WPATH, or the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, is an international multidisciplinary organisation composed of healthcare professionals, social scientists and transgender rights advocates dedicated to advancing the health and well-being of TGD individuals.

The SOC-8 mark a comprehensive advancement in healthcare for TGD individuals, addressing a wide array of healthcare needs across multiple disciplines, settings and life stages. For nursing and healthcare professionals, these guidelines offer an in-depth framework aimed at providing respectful, evidence-based and inclusive care, which is essential for promoting the holistic well-being of TGD individuals. The SOC-8 guidelines expand upon previous standards by encompassing not only the physical health needs of TGD patients but also the social, psychological and developmental factors that influence their healthcare experiences and outcomes.

探索跨性别和性别多元化健康护理标准中的护理影响，Coleman 等人第 8 版（2022 年）

 1 引言

人们对跨性别和性别多元化社区 （TGD） 等性别少数群体的健康和医疗保健需求问题的认识和关注比以往任何时候都更加，随之而来的是护士有责任发展有效和适当护理所需的知识和技能（Gilmore、Danington 和 Halpin 2024）。世界跨性别健康专业协会 （WPATH） 护理标准 （SOC-8） 指南（Coleman 等人，2022 年）为全球 TGD 社区提供护理提供了最实质性的指南。WPATH，即世界跨性别健康专业协会，是一个由医疗保健专业人士、社会科学家和跨性别者权利倡导者组成的国际多学科组织，致力于促进 TGD 个体的健康和福祉。

SOC-8 标志着 TGD 个体医疗保健的全面进步，满足了多个学科、环境和生命阶段的广泛医疗保健需求。对于护理和医疗保健专业人员，这些指南提供了一个深入的框架，旨在提供尊重、循证和包容性的护理，这对于促进 TGD 个体的整体福祉至关重要。SOC-8 指南在先前标准的基础上进行了扩展，不仅包括 TGD 患者的身体健康需求，还包括影响其医疗保健体验和结果的社会、心理和发展因素。
