A history of childhood maltreatment (HCM) has been associated with detrimental psychiatric outcomes. This is particularly true for transgender, for whom there is initial evidence that HCM may be associated with psychiatric morbidity. Our study aimed to further characterize the relationship between HCM and the development of mental disorder in adult life, based on a sample of Brazilian transgender women. Cross-sectional data were collected from a consecutive sample of 289 transgender women who attended the Hospital Clínicas clinic for gender dysphoria, in Porto Alegre, between 1998 and 2014. Our results demonstrated a greater risk of deteriorating mental health amongst participants who had experienced HCM. Given the disproportionally high rate of HCM in transgender persons, we advocate for greater assistance for transgender persons.
童年期受虐待史(HCM)与不良的精神科结局相关。对于跨性别者而言尤其如此,初步证据表明HCM可能与他们的精神疾病发病率有关。我们的研究旨在基于巴西跨性别女性样本,进一步描述HCM与成年后精神障碍发展之间的关系。我们收集了1998年至2014年间在阿雷格里港临床医院性别焦虑症门诊就诊的289名跨性别女性连续样本的横断面数据。我们的结果表明,有童年期受虐待经历的参与者心理健康恶化的风险更大。鉴于跨性别者中童年期受虐待的比例过高,我们主张为跨性别者提供更多帮助。
