摘要：

Research investigating the health care experiences of men who have sex with men (MSM) predominately concerns urban populations. This study examines the health care experiences of MSM residing in rural Oklahoma. A total of 40 MSM (aged 21 through 66) living in rural areas were interviewed. Data were analyzed using a qualitative approach to identify emerging concepts. Three themes emerged from the data: First, participants cited cultural differences related to religious conservative ideologies as a central motif of health care experiences. Next, doctor-patient relationship quality was a contributing factor to health care experiences. Last, health care experiences were predicated on the idea of doctors' knowledge of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) health issues. Certain health care aspects regarding the rural experiences of MSM that were identified differed between rural and urban MSM. Implications include support for programs that bridge the gap between practitioners and patients, while better informing both MSM and health care providers of current LGBT health issues.
