Factors associated with providers' culturally competent care for sexual and gender minority older adults in Taiwan: A qualitative study applying the social ecological model

Sexual and gender minority older adults receive less social support than does the general population, leading to reliance on long-term care services. On May 24, 2019, Taiwan became the first country in Asia to legalise same-sex marriage. Sexual and gender minority older adults are becoming more visible in Taiwanese society. However, healthcare providers' behaviour and intention to offer culturally competent care to sexual and gender minority older adults and factors affecting their behaviour and intention in Asian culture remain unclear.
