Transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) individuals experience increased risk to mental and physical health concerns based on minority stress variables, including discrimination, internalized stigma, and expectations of violence. Research in this area displays a disconnect between provider and TGNC individuals seeking care. This study sought to improve cultural competency in research with TGNC individuals, with the ultimate goal to further explore cultural competency factors in work with TGNC individuals in research and clinically. Mixed methods research was conducted with trans masculine, trans feminine, and nonbinary identifying individuals to pilot survey measures before administration in a larger study.
跨性别者和性别不一致(TGNC)个体由于少数群体压力变量,包括歧视、内化的耻辱感和对暴力的预期,面临着更高的身心健康问题风险。该领域的研究表明,医疗服务提供者与寻求护理的TGNC个体之间存在脱节。本研究旨在提高针对TGNC个体的研究中的文化能力,最终目标是进一步探索在研究和临床工作中与TGNC个体合作时的文化能力因素。对跨男性、跨女性和非二元性别认同的个体进行了混合方法研究,以便在更大规模的研究中进行调查措施的预试验。
