- OBJECTIVE: To reflect on and further understand mechanisms of heteronormativity in the consultation, with special focus on the relative invisibility of lesbian women. DESIGN: Tape-recorded focus group interviews transcribed verbatim and analysed using qualitative methods. SETTING: General practitioners (GPs) from the city of Göteborg, Sweden, who had formerly answered a postal questionnaire about lesbian women in the consultation, were invited to take part in subsequent focus groups. SUBJECTS: Ten GPs from the questionnaire who accepted the invitation and volunteered to participate in focus groups. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: A discourse analytical approach using interaction regarding consensus and disagreement between informants in creating major and minor themes. RESULTS: Consultation skills were forwarded as a major tool in receiving optimal information from patients. However, traditional concepts of family and sexuality restricted information and hampered an accepting attitude. Bringing up issues of sexual identity/orientation was left to the lesbian patient and strongly related to her reason for attending. CONCLUSION: Consultation skills are a useful but not sufficient means of making lesbian women visible in the doctor-patient relationship. Doctors also need to transcend traditional concepts of family and sexuality and reflect on what is a relevant issue from the patient's perspective.

Gender in medical curricula: course organizer views of a gender-issues perspective in medicine in Sweden.
- 2003

Ingår i: Women & health. - 0363-0242. ; 37:4, s. 35-47

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- While there is growing awareness of the importance of gender issues in medicine, with new knowledge and new perspectives intensely debated, reports on the implementation of gender issues into medical curricula are scarce. In 1996, the Medical Faculty of Göteborg University, Sweden, determined that a gender-issues perspective be included in medical education. In 1999, course organizers from preclinical and clinical departments of the faculty were interviewed to determine whether they felt that a gender-issues perspective had contributed to their scientific field and, if so, how they implemented it in their teaching. The interviews revealed varied opinions on the relevance of this perspective in medicine. These variations followed gender division rather than that of preclinicians/clinicians. Thus, female gender was overwhelming for inspiring and introducing a gender-issues perspective both scientifically and practically. Positivism is firmly established in medicine and this must be taken into consideration when introducing a more culturally- and socially-based understanding of sex/gender issues. Female gender is important in this process, but successful implementation requires thorough faculty support and participation of male colleagues and students.

GPs and lesbian women in the consultation: issues of awareness and knowledge.
- 2002

Ingår i: Scandinavian journal of primary health care. - 0281-3432. ; 20:4, s. 203-7

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- OBJECTIVE: To study awareness of having lesbian women in the consultation among general practitioners (GPs) and their knowledge of lesbian health-related issues. DESIGN: A mailed questionnaire study using closed and open-ended questions, with an analysis using both quantitative and qualitative methods. SETTING: The city of Göteborg, Sweden. SUBJECTS: GPs working in the city of Göteborg. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Frequencies are presented for closed questions. Open-ended questions are categorised and illustrated by citations. RESULTS: The response rate was 52%, but only 37% were aware of having had any lesbian patients despite many years in practice. Five per cent had ever asked their patients about sexual identity, and most questions concerning social network were put in terms of the heterosexual, nuclear family. Eleven per cent knew of any health issues relevant to lesbian women, but half of all informants declared an interest in learning more. CONCLUSION: Unreflected assumptions of heterosexuality and use of heterosexist concepts may work together in keeping the lesbian patient invisible to health care. Medical education needs to include issues of gender and sexual identity/orientation in the curriculum, and to address the health effects of marginalisation.
