This article presents framework guidelines for the care of adolescent transgender (T) and non-binary (NB) individuals experiencing gender dysphoria (GD) and/or gender incongruence (GI). Developed by a multidisciplinary expert panel, these guidelines aim to address the complex medical, psychological, and social needs of this diverse population. The document emphasises the importance of individualised, affirmative care that respects the autonomy, identity, and rights of adolescents. It outlines best practices for psychiatric, psychological, and sexological assessment; criteria and protocols for gender-affirming hormonal interventions (GAHI) and puberty suppression; and ethical considerations for medical decision-making. The guidelines advocate for comprehensive support systems, including family involvement and multidisciplinary team collaboration, while addressing co-occurring mental health conditions and neurodiversity. The article also highlights global perspectives on gender-affirming care, comparing practices and policies across countries to provide a contextualised approach that aligns with international standards while addressing local legal and healthcare frameworks. The proposed care model is designed to enhance the mental and physical well-being of adolescents, reduce stigma, and improve their overall quality of life. This work serves as a vital resource for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and advocates seeking to advance equitable, effective, and compassionate care for gender-diverse youths.
本文提出了针对患有性别焦虑症(GD)和/或性别不一致(GI)的青少年跨性别(T)和非二元性别(NB)个体的护理框架指南。这些指南由一个多学科专家小组制定,旨在满足这一多样化人群复杂的医疗、心理和社会需求。该文件强调了个性化、肯定性护理的重要性,这种护理尊重青少年的自主权、身份和权利。它概述了精神病学、心理学和性学评估的最佳实践;性别肯定激素干预(GAHI)和青春期抑制的标准及方案;以及医疗决策中的伦理考量。指南倡导建立全面的支持系统,包括家庭参与和多学科团队协作,同时应对共病的心理健康状况和神经多样性。文章还强调了全球对性别肯定护理的观点,比较了各国的做法和政策,以提供一种符合国际标准且适应当地法律和医疗框架的情境化方法。所提议的护理模式旨在提高青少年的身心健康,减少污名化,并改善他们的整体生活质量。这项工作对于寻求为性别多样化青少年提供公平、有效和富有同情心护理的医疗专业人员、政策制定者及倡导者而言,是一项至关重要的资源。
