This discrimination can be particularly detrimental during hospice and palliative care, where patients are especially vulnerable and may have distinct needs related to their sexual orientation or gender identity.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S1478951525100898_sec2b\">\n\t    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>This study aimed to identify the barriers and enablers to accessing equitable and inclusive palliative care for LGBTQIA+ individuals.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S1478951525100898_sec3c\">\n\t    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>A self-administered online survey was conducted in November 2023 among LGBTQIA+ adults residing in Portugal. Thematic analysis was applied to identify barriers and enablers, mapped using an adapted socioecological framework.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S1478951525100898_sec4d\">\n\t    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>Fifty-five respondents participated, primarily cisgender women (49.1%) identifying as homosexual (50.9%), with most aged 18\u201334 (76.4%). Barriers included caregiver homophobia, lack of LGBTQIA+-specific knowledge among professionals, fear among patients, misaligned care priorities, exclusion of partners from decision-making, and limited access to care. Enablers involved professional LGBTQIA+-specific training, psychological support, integration of partners or chosen families in care, workforce diversity, dissemination of palliative care information, community engagement, and inclusive societal values.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S1478951525100898_sec5e\">\n\t    <jats:title>Significance of results<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>Inclusive and responsive palliative care is essential to addressing the unique needs of LGBTQIA+ individuals. The findings highlight the need for systemic reforms to advance equity in care. The study calls for mandatory LGBTQIA+-focused training for healthcare providers, recognition of chosen families in care decisions, and public health campaigns that promote inclusivity. Collaboration with LGBTQIA+ organizations to improve outreach and access is vital, along with legislative measures to ensure equitable and inclusive care.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1478951525100898","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,13]],"date-time":"2025-10-13T10:44:13Z","timestamp":1760352253000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Inclusive palliative care for LGBTQIA+ individuals: A socioecological perspective on barriers and enablers"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Marta","family":"Almeida-Godinho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Lisbon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4665-585X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paulo","family":"Reis-Pina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Lisbon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1363460713511094"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5539\/gjhs.v16n6p1"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref36","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2019.01453"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph17197346"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/frhs.2025.1534178"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12904-024-01560-x"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref33","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/hsc.14024"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889-024-21171-8"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref40","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/geriatrics2010013"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/02692163221078475"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref44","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12909-023-04373-3"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/jlr.2016.23"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref38","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/jpm.2019.0542"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(14)60169-0"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref31","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2013.02.019"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref39","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/jpm.2018.0382"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0269216319835398"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref37","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/haschl\/qxad049"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref41","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4135\/9781526405555.n2"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13814788.2023.2296571"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889-015-1867-2"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref42","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/02692163211055011"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2468-2667(23)00312-2"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/hsc.13126"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref28","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/ACM.0000000000000388"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref35","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00224499.2017.1387755"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref34","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/02692163221124426"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref43","unstructured":"World Health Organization (2020) Palliative care: key facts. https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/palliative-care (accessed 19 Nov. 2024 )."},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/tra0000464"},{"key":"S1478951525100898_ref13","unstructured":"ECRI - The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (2025) ECRI Report on Portugal (Sixth Monitoring Cycle).
