ABSTRACT
We aimed to estimate the proportions of childhood parental neglect, abuse, and rejection and to evaluate the co-occurrence of these experiences among transgender women in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This was a cross-sectional study with a convenience sample enrolled between July 2019 and March 2020, using an adapted version of the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire. Proportions and corresponding confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Kendall correlation with Tau-b estimator was used in the bivariate analyses. We gathered data from 139 participants. The most prevalent types of childhood traumas were emotional abuse (60.43%, 95% CI [51.79, 68.62]), physical abuse (57.55%, 95% CI [48.90, 65.89]) and sexual abuse (44.60%, 95% CI [36.18, 53.27]). Severe to extreme physical and emotional abuse occurred among 40.29% (95% CI [32.06, 48.93]) and 5.75% (95% CI [2.51, 11.02]) of participants, respectively. The proportion of parental rejection (eviction) was 32.37% (95% CI [25.04, 40.69]) and occurred with the other forms of abuse, except sexual abuse. Multiple types of childhood abuse, neglect, and parental rejection were observed among transgender women in our sample. The harmful effects of childhood abuse on the mental and physical health of people in the transgender population are of concern, particularly considering the cumulative effect produced by the co-occurrence of such events and their harmful lifetime effects. It is urgently necessary to debate and formulate public policies to ensure the right to gender expression from childhood.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the concept of social identity of transgender persons and develop nursing diagnoses related to it. METHODS: A concept analysis according to the Walker and Avant model. A scope review was carried out with a search of eight databases, a portal and two information systems, during June and July 2019. Articles, theses, and dissertations were analyzed in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, with no time frame definition. RESULTS: Of the 6.847 productions, 10 were included, and the concept of social identity was described in 4 of them. Critical, prior, and consequential attributes for the social identity of transgender persons were identified, and the analysis of the concept substantiated the proposal of the diagnosis: Willingness to improve the social identity of the transgender person. CONCLUSION: Social identity establishes a relationship with health, and the proposed nursing diagnosis strengthens the sense of belonging of transgender people, enhancing their rights as citizens.
