Abstract

Trans people face numerous barriers to access and permanence in health services, which makes it difficult, among other things, to know about their quality of life and satisfaction with health services related to these users. Thus, the objective was to describle the quality of life and satisfaction with pharmacotherapeutic follow-up in transgender people. A cross-sectional, descriptive, and quantitative study was conducted between January and September 2022 at a specialized outpatient clinic for transgender individuals. The following aspects were describle: sociodemographic and medication profiles; quality of Life, which was measured using the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire; and levels of satisfaction with Pharmacotherapeutic Monitoring, assessed through the Pharmacy Services Satisfaction Questionnaire (QSSF). Descriptive analyses employed measures of central tendency, absolute and relative frequencies, while inferential analyses used the Student's t test. A total of 101 transgender individuals participated in the study, with a mean age of 25 years, the majority being single (79.2%/80), having more than 11 years of education (47.5%/n = 48), and comprising 48.5% (n = 49) transgender women. Hormone use was reported by 59.4% (n = 60) of the participants, with 18.3% (n = 11) of self-medication. Testosterone cypionate was the most common hormone used by transgender men (84%), while cyproterone acetate and estradiol represented 60.4% of hormone use among transgender women. Additionally, 36 transgender individuals were taking other drugs (n = 60), mainly antidepressives (28%). The WHOQOL-BREF showed higher scores in the domains of self-rated Quality of Life, and physical, and psychological well-being among transgender women compared to transgender men, but without statistical differences. Income revealed a statistically significant association with psychological domains and overall quality of life. The results of the QSSF indicated that the overall mean and average scores per question were higher than 4, suggesting that 100% of the sample was satisfied with the provided service. No statistically significant differences were observed in the Quality of Life between transgender men and women, but income was associated with the psychological domain and overall Quality of Life. All participants reported satisfaction with the Pharmacotherapeutic Monitoring service; however, there is a need to expand service offerings, such as medication dispensing.

摘要

跨性别者在获得和维持医疗服务方面面临诸多障碍,这使得他们难以了解自己的生活质量和对与这些用户相关的医疗服务的满意度等情况。因此,本研究旨在描述跨性别者的生活质量和对药物治疗随访的满意度。这是一项 2022 年 1 月至 9 月在专门的跨性别门诊进行的横断面、描述性和定量研究。研究描述了以下方面:社会人口学和药物治疗概况;使用世界卫生组织生活质量简表(WHOQOL-BREF)问卷测量的生活质量;通过药物治疗监测满意度问卷(QSSF)评估的对药物治疗监测的满意度。描述性分析采用集中趋势、绝对和相对频率的度量标准,而推断性分析则使用学生 t 检验。共有 101 名跨性别者参与了研究,平均年龄为 25 岁,大多数为单身(79.2%/80),接受过超过 11 年的教育(47.5%/n=48),其中 48.5%(n=49)为跨性别女性。报告使用激素的参与者占 59.4%(n=60),其中 18.3%(n=11)为自行用药。接受过治疗的跨性别男性中,最常用的激素是睾酮 Cypionate(84%),而醋酸环丙孕酮和雌二醇则占跨性别女性使用激素的 60.4%。此外,还有 36 名跨性别者(n=60)同时服用其他药物,主要是抗抑郁药(28%)。在跨性别女性中,WHOQOL-BREF 生活质量自评、身体和心理幸福感等领域的评分高于跨性别男性,但无统计学差异。收入与心理领域和总体生活质量呈统计学显著相关。QSSF 的结果表明,总体平均分和每个问题的平均得分均高于 4,表明 100%的样本对所提供的服务感到满意。跨性别男性和女性的生活质量之间没有统计学上的显著差异,但收入与心理领域和总体生活质量有关。所有参与者均对药物治疗监测服务表示满意;然而,需要扩大服务范围,例如提供药物配给。
