topic areas, the chapters are
designed to build on that
knowledge rather than duplicate
it. To get the maximum benefit
out of this book, it is important to
read all of the chapters. That
being said, I have written this for
readers in four distinct
disciplines, medicine, nursing,
chaplaincy, and social work/
counseling, and your own
discipline's scope of practice will
determine whether and how you
integrate the content into your
professional practice. For
example, although everyone
should read the chapter on
conducting a physical exam, if
you are a chaplain, social worker,
or counselor, you will not conduct
physical exams yourself because
they are outside your discipline's
scope of practice.
Of course, you don't have to be a
physician, registered nurse,
advanced practice registered
nurse, chaplain, social worker, or
counselor to benefit from reading
this book. Clinical psychologists,
pharmacists, home health aides,
licensed practical nurses, licensed
massage therapists, registered
dieticians, music therapists,
speech-language pathologists,
physical/rehabilitation therapists,
volunteer coordinators,
administrators, and educators,
will find that this book can help
change the way they work with
patients, families, staff, students,
and volunteers. And if you are a
student, it will help you get off on
10
the right foot in terms of LGBTQinclusive practice as you begin
your work with patients and their
families.
COMPETENCY-BASED
SCAFFOLDING
LGBTQ-Inclusive Hospice and
Palliative Care is built on a
scaffolding of learning objectives
designed to address the needs of
physicians, advanced practice
registered nurses (APRNs),
registered nurses (RNs), social
workers, counselors, and
chaplains working in the field of
hospice and palliative care. I
developed these learning
objectives using disciplinespecific competencies, curricular
guidelines, and professional
standards. Since there are no
existing competencies focused on
LGBTQ-inclusive hospice and
palliative care, I set out to find
and compile hospice and
palliative care competencies first,
and then LGBTQ-specific health
care competencies. After
gathering competencies in these
two broad areas for the four
target disciplines, I planned to
create a crosswalk between the
areas and develop working
competencies for LGBTQ-inclusive
hospice and palliative care for
each discipline. At least, that was
the original plan. I had
mistakenly assumed it would be
relatively easy to find hospice and
palliative care competencies and
NHPCO NewsLine | Fall 2017
LGBTQ-specific competencies for
each of the disciplines, and that
the challenge would be in
converting them into LGBTQinclusive hospice and palliative
care competencies.
Unfortunately, of the four health
care disciplines this book
addresses, only medicine has
established detailed competencies
for both the care of LGBTQ
persons and the care of persons
with chronic or life-limiting
illnesses (see Association of
American Medical Colleges
[AAMC] 2014, American
Academy of Hospice and
Palliative Medicine [AAHPM]
2009, American Academy of
Family Physicians [AAFP] n.d.,
Joint Commission 2011). The
social work discipline has
indicators for cultural competence
and general standards for social
work practice in palliative and
hospice care but no set of
competencies specific to working
with LGBTQ individuals
(National Association of Social
Workers [NASW] 2007, NASW
2004, Hay and Johnson 2001).
Similarly, the chaplaincy
discipline has general
competencies for hospice and
palliative care chaplains but no
competencies specific to working
with LGBTQ people and their
families (California State
University Institute for Palliative
Care and Healthcare Chaplaincy
Network 2015).
