This study aimed to measure dyadic adjustment, social support, and psychological well-being.
A research protocol composed of the Dyadic Adjustment Scale, the Outcome Questionnaire 45.2, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support was administered to a sample of 109 Italian transgender individuals.
Higher levels of global psychological distress, symptom severity, and interpersonal relationship distress were associated with lower levels of family support and dyadic adjustment. In addition, transgender women and younger transgender individuals reported higher levels of interpersonal relationship distress.
The results indicate that the support and acceptance of one's partner and family of origin play a crucial role in promoting well-being. It represents an important protective factor with respect to negative psychological health outcomes.
The findings emphasize the need to develop specific clinical and social practices for transgender individuals and their families. Building family and partner-centered policies and programs is particularly important to enable transgender individuals to avoid paying the emotional and psychological costs associated with rejection and non-acceptance.
本研究旨在测量二元调适、社会支持和心理健康状况。
对109名意大利跨性别者样本实施了一项由二元调适量表、结果问卷45.2和多维感知社会支持量表组成的研究方案。
较高水平的总体心理困扰、症状严重程度和人际关系困扰与较低水平的家庭支持和二元调适相关。此外，跨性别女性和较年轻的跨性别者报告的人际关系困扰水平较高。
结果表明，伴侣和原生家庭的支持与接纳在促进幸福感方面起着关键作用。它是预防负面心理健康结果的一个重要保护因素。
研究结果强调需要为跨性别者及其家庭制定特定的临床和社会措施。制定以家庭和伴侣为中心的政策和项目尤为重要，以使跨性别者能够避免承担与被拒绝和不被接纳相关的情感和心理代价。
