Popis: Background Individuals of the LGBTQITS community face significant disparities when accessing healthcare, including stigma, oppression, and discrimination contributing to health inequities. Integrating cultural humility practice in nursing education is needed to navigate barriers. Method A mixed methods usability study evaluated a bilingual online educational toolkit including curated instructional videos, personal bias quiz, and virtual simulation games VSGs. A convenience sample of nursing faculty and students were invited to participate. Results Participants (N = 11) were observed playing the games, overall average time was 14 mins per game. Largely usability testers agreed or strongly agreed VSGs were easy and fun and helped them understand personal assumptions. Presimulation preparation was mostly viewed as relevant and engaging. Conclusions Results support the feasibility of educating nurses and students about cultural humility, sexual orientation, and gender identity (SOGI) using VSGs. The SOGI-Nursing toolkit was found to be functional and a valuable and engaging teaching and learning strategy.
