PURPOSE: This article reports the results of the first national survey carried out in Chile on health care for transgender and nonbinary people. Knowledge of their main demands for interventions, and of the barriers to care that they face, is currently lacking. We seek to address this gap and provide data useful to policymakers in improving care for this population. METHODS: The survey was conducted between January 2021 and June 2022. The sample, consisting of 1116 participants, was recruited through social networks and transgender-rights organizations. Using chi-squared tests, statistically significant differences between items of interest and relevant sociodemographic information were identified. Data collected are reported based on frequencies () and percentages (%), and in contingency tables for the analysis of inter and intragroup variations. RESULTS: Individual psychological attention (54.5%) and endocrinological follow-up (41%) were the interventions most received by the full sample. Of all treatments desired but not yet received, speech therapy headed the list (50.8%). Costs (74.2%), long waiting lists (34.6%), and insufficiently trained professionals (30.8%) were significant barriers to access. These percentages varied according to both participants' gender identity and area of residence. CONCLUSION: Provision for the care needs of the population surveyed was sparse. Differences in demands and access barriers were found between those declaring a female or male gender identity, and those whose identity was nonbinary or gender fluid, as well as between those enrolled in a public versus a private health system. These variations should be carefully weighed in developing effective trans and nonbinary health policies.
目的:本文报告了智利首次针对跨性别者和非二元性别者的全国性医疗保健调查结果。目前尚缺乏对他们主要干预需求以及所面临的护理障碍的了解。我们试图填补这一空白,并提供对政策制定者改善这一人群护理工作有用的数据。 方法:调查于2021年1月至2022年6月进行。样本由1116名参与者组成,通过社交网络和跨性别权利组织招募。使用卡方检验确定了感兴趣项目与相关社会人口学信息之间的统计学显著差异。收集的数据按频率()和百分比(%)报告,并在列联表中用于分析组间和组内差异。 结果:个体心理关注(54.5%)和内分泌学随访(41%)是整个样本接受最多的干预措施。在所有期望但尚未接受的治疗中,言语治疗位居榜首(50.8%)。费用(74.2%)、长等待名单(34.6%)和专业人员培训不足(30.8%)是获得护理的重大障碍。这些百分比因参与者的性别认同和居住地区而异。 结论:针对被调查人群的护理需求的提供很稀少。在声明女性或男性性别认同者与非二元性别或流动性别认同者之间,以及在公立与私立医疗系统参保者之间,发现了需求和获得护理障碍方面的差异。在制定有效的跨性别和非二元性别健康政策时,应仔细权衡这些差异。
