To analyze the social representations of nursing students about transsexuality and the health demands of transsexual people.
Qualitative, descriptive research with undergraduate nursing students from a public university in Rio de Janeiro/Brazil. The data came from a semi-structured interview and lexical analysis using Alceste 2012 software.
Transsexuality was represented as a transgression, with the transsexual person being objectified as unnatural because they do not identify with their biological sex. Hormone therapy and sex reassignment surgeries were understood as the main demands, being anchored in a pathologizing and medicalizing health sphere. However, the theme is not addressed during graduation, generating unpreparedness for professional life.
The need to update the academic curriculum, as well as the way of thinking about the care of transsexual people, is essential and urgent for an integral and equitable care.
分析护理专业学生对跨性别者的社会认知和跨性别者的健康需求。
这是一项在巴西里约热内卢的一所公立大学进行的定性描述性研究,研究对象为护理专业本科生。数据来源于半结构化访谈,使用 Alceste 2012 软件进行词汇分析。
跨性别被视为一种越轨行为,跨性别者被视为不自然的,因为他们不认同自己的生理性别。激素治疗和性别重置手术被理解为主要需求,这是在一个将健康问题病理化和医学化的领域中产生的。然而,这个主题在毕业时并没有被提及,导致学生在职业生活中缺乏准备。
更新学术课程以及改变对跨性别者护理的思维方式是至关重要和紧迫的,这是提供全面和公平护理的必要条件。
