GENDER DYSPHORIA AND OBSTETRIC CARE: NURSING CHALLENGES

Author(s) Ms. Krinal Chauhan, Ms. Smitha Sivan
Country India
Abstract Gender dysphoria is a recognized medical condition characterized by a significant mismatch between an individual’s gender identity and their assigned sex at birth, often resulting in emotional distress. As increasing numbers of transgender and non-binary individuals seek reproductive health services, nursing professionals face the challenge of providing sensitive, inclusive, and gender-affirming obstetric care. However, nurses often encounter barriers such as lack of knowledge, discomfort with gender-diverse patients, societal biases, and institutional limitations. Pregnancy-related body changes may intensify gender dysphoria, further complicating clinical care. Misgendering, use of inappropriate language, and lack of inclusive practices can negatively impact the health outcomes of transgender patients. This paper highlights key challenges in obstetric care for gender-diverse individuals and offers practical recommendations for nurses. These include continuous education, reflective practice, respectful communication, interprofessional collaboration, and advocacy for inclusive healthcare policies. Empowering nurses to deliver competent and affirming care is essential for promoting equitable maternal health outcomes for all gender identities.
