title: Working with lesbian, gay, and bisexual people. Reducing negative stereotypes via inservice education.
abstract: Basic components of an inservice program that concerns working with lesbian, gay, and bisexual people are presented. Staff nurses will encounter such people in every nursing specialty and will have lesbian, gay, and bisexual coworkers whether they know it or not. Inservice programs that deal with any sexuality issue must include cognitive and affective interventions, because negative or uncomfortable attitudes may have been ingrained since childhood.
