to estimate the prevalence of depressive levels and their associated factors among transvestite and transsexual individuals.
this cross-sectional study involved 58 participants assisted by non-governmental organizations. The Beck Depression Inventory was utilized to assess levels of depression, complemented by a sociodemographic questionnaire and a questionnaire on experiences of violence. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Poisson regression with robust variance.
a prevalence of 27.6% (95% CI = 11.50-39.10) for moderate to severe levels of depression was observed. This prevalence was associated with being unmarried (PR = 1.19; 95% CI = 1.10-1.28) and experiencing violence in healthcare services (PR = 2.30; 95% CI = 1.10-4.81).
the absence of a partner and experiences of violence in healthcare settings negatively impacted mental health, leading to an increased prevalence of depressive symptoms among transvestite and transsexual individuals. Advocating for transgender rights and providing ongoing education in health care for professionals are critical strategies in promoting the mental health of this population.
评估异装癖者和变性者中抑郁水平的患病率及其相关因素。
这项横断面研究纳入了58名由非政府组织协助的参与者。使用贝克抑郁量表评估抑郁水平，并辅以社会人口统计学问卷和暴力经历问卷。采用描述性统计和具有稳健方差的泊松回归分析数据。
观察到中度至重度抑郁水平的患病率为27.6%（95%置信区间=11.50 - 39.10）。该患病率与未婚（PR = 1.19；95%置信区间=1.10 - 1.28）以及在医疗服务中遭受暴力（PR = 2.30；95%置信区间=1.10 - 4.81）有关。
缺乏伴侣以及在医疗环境中的暴力经历对心理健康产生了负面影响，导致异装癖者和变性者中抑郁症状的患病率增加。倡导跨性别权利并为医疗专业人员提供持续教育是促进这一人群心理健康的关键策略。
