A systematic review was conducted to assess and synthesize recent research on mental health professionals' attitudes towards trans people. The main objectives of our research were (a) to identify, synthesize, and analyze the scientific evidence available so far about the attitudes of mental health professionals towards the trans community, and (b) to determine the factors related to these professionals' attitudes, paying special attention to psychosocial and cultural aspects. A systematic search was carried out in the following electronic databases: Pubmed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, Gender Studies Database, and Lilacs. A total of 32 articles of quantitative (n = 19), qualitative (n = 11), and mixed (n = 2) design, published up to March 2023, were included. Most studies used a cross-sectional or qualitative design, limiting the possibility of generalizing the results. The studies reviewed indicated mostly positive attitudes among the professionals, depending on their psychosocial characteristics. In line with the results of our review, we recommend that the training of professionals is important to improve their positive attitudes towards transgender and gender diverse people.
一项系统评价旨在评估和综合最近关于心理健康专业人士对跨性别者态度的研究。我们研究的主要目的是：(a) 确定、综合和分析目前关于心理健康专业人士对跨性别群体态度的科学证据；(b) 确定与这些专业人士态度相关的因素，特别关注心理社会和文化方面。在以下电子数据库中进行了系统检索：Pubmed、Web of Science、PsycINFO、PsycARTICLES、Gender Studies Database 和 Lilacs。共纳入了 32 篇定量（n = 19）、定性（n = 11）和混合（n = 2）设计的文章，这些文章的发表时间截至 2023 年 3 月。大多数研究使用横断面或定性设计，限制了结果的推广。综述的研究表明，专业人士的态度主要是积极的，这取决于他们的心理社会特征。根据我们的综述结果，我们建议对专业人员进行培训，以提高他们对跨性别和性别多样化人群的积极态度。
