Abstract

Background: Transgender people often experience social exclusion and transphobic attitudes, which have an adverse impact on their socioeconomic life and health status. Within health services, -discriminatory practices and mistreatment derive from the lack of cultural competence by -healthcare providers. Objective: This article features existing barriers in the provision of healthcare to transgender populations and suggests approaches to manage the relevant challenges. Methods: A thorough review of the literature was performed, and the operation of a specialized unit wass presented. Results: Health professionals are often unskilled or unwilling to offer transgender care, while most healthcare service institutions do not offer specialized treatments. Incomplete health insurance coverage and shortages of personal income impede trans individuals' access to healthcare. Certain practices and policies are needed for scientifically and culturally competent services. Conclusions: The social vulnerability and the unique health needs of transgender persons urgently call for accessible and effective care for gender minority individuals. The integration of gender identity issues into continuous medical and nursing education is a key component of transgender-friendly care. Implications for Nursing: The integration of diversity as a core value in health services, the ability of health personnel to deliver transgender care, and the provision of insurance coverage solely based on medical needs are necessary steps to achieve social justice in healthcare.

照顾跨性别人士的障碍与挑战:对临床实践的启示与专业中心的经验。
背景:跨性别者经常遭受社会排斥和对跨性别者的厌恶态度,这对他们的社会经济生活和健康状况产生了不利影响。在保健服务中,歧视性做法和虐待源于保健提供者缺乏文化能力。目的:本文介绍了在向跨性别人群提供医疗保健方面存在的障碍,并提出了管理相关挑战的方法。方法:对文献进行了全面的回顾,并提出了一个专门的单位的操作。结果:卫生专业人员往往不熟练或不愿意提供跨性别护理,而大多数卫生保健服务机构不提供专门的治疗。不完整的医疗保险覆盖面和个人收入短缺阻碍了跨性别者获得医疗保健。在科学和文化上有能力的服务需要某些做法和政策。结论:变性人的社会脆弱性和独特的健康需求迫切需要为性别少数群体提供可及和有效的护理。将性别认同问题纳入持续的医疗和护理教育是跨性别友好护理的关键组成部分。对护理的影响:将多样性作为保健服务的核心价值,保健人员提供跨性别护理的能力,以及仅根据医疗需求提供保险,是实现保健领域社会公正的必要步骤。
