Scott, Krystle (2022) Exploring the Past and Present Concerns of LGBTIQSGBB+ Queenslanders About Ageing and Accessing Aged Care Services. Honours thesis, University of Southern Queensland. (Unpublished)
Abstract
There continued increase in the global population and people aged over 65 years make up over 15% of Queensland’s population. This expected to continue to rise and as does the number of LGBTIQSGBB+ people. Older LGBTIQSGBB+ Queenslanders are considered disadvantaged and are at risk many forms of discrimination. The present study aimed to explore LGBTIQSGBB+ allies ageing concerns and service access concerns. The present study also compares the current concerns with past concerns. The implications of the present study will provide a better understanding of the needs of older LGBTIQSGBB+ Queenslanders and how services can be improved moving forward. This quantitative design collected data via a survey that was comprised of open-ended and close-ended questions. This study used Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Model to explore how systems shape LGBTIQSGBB+ concerns within society and can aid in exploring the levels that discrimination can occur. The main concerns of ageing and service access include general health, safety, discrimination, respect, and recognition and quality of care.
