This is the first study to address this gap by examining the network structure of depressive symptoms in Chinese sexual minority women during the COVID-19 pandemic, considering both sexual orientation and gender expression as part of an intra-group perspective. 1420 Chinese sexual minority women completed the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depressive Symptoms (CES-D). Network analysis was employed to calculate edge and centrality measures, and the network structures of lesbians and bisexual women were compared based on sexual orientation and of femme, androgyny, and butch based on gender expression. Network analysis revealed that the core depressive symptoms of Chinese sexual minority women are \"Felt depressed,\" \"Fatigue,\" \"Sad,\" and \"Failure.\" Although no significant differences were found in the network structure and global strength of depressive symptoms between different sexual orientations and gender expressions, there were significant differences in the core symptoms. This study suggests the unique associations between depressive symptoms and social and historical contexts among sexual minority women and emphasizes the importance of considering these differences when providing targeted mental health interventions.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"914-930"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141248653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Health outcomes of IPV can disproportionately impact the LGBTQIA2S+ communities, specifically queer women, including increased rates of anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and disability. Risk factors for help-seeking among queer women experiencing IPV, further known as Queer Women-IPV, are complex, and encompass heteronormative and cis-normative assumptions, discrimination, isolation, and stigma within healthcare, including by nurses. Using Whittemore and Knafl's framework for an integrative review, this review identified unique characteristics of Queer Women-IPV. Furthermore, an examination of how stigma and other discriminations impact healthcare access, and recommendations for nursing professionals are provided to ensure empowering care for Queer Women-IPV survivors. Main themes from the findings included differences in Queer Women-IPV tactics and power dynamics; Queer Women-IPV risk factors; health and quality of life outcomes; as well as the influence of stigma on help-seeking behaviors. Nursing has a significant role in ensuring that queer women have safer places and people to turn to. Recommendations for nursing practice and policy include integrating trauma and violence-informed care as universal standards, offering inclusive holistic screening, and instilling LGBTQIA2S+ education for nurses.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-26"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144041769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using semi-structured interviews and \"walking interviews\" with seven participants, this research examines the participants' migration motives, gender resocialisation, and interactions within queer and Latin American communities in London. A thematic analysis, guided by intersectionality and minority stress theory as theoretical lenses, produced four key themes: (1) Latin American culture and family dynamics: tradition and hostility contributing to distancing; (2) migration as a catalyst for gender identity exploration; (3) intersectional challenges in London: transphobia, xenophobia, and psychological well-being; and (4) queer integrations: support systems, activism, and the need for intersectional thinking. The study emphasizes the challenges of identity navigation, the systemic barriers faced by participants, and the psychological impact of these intersecting forms of oppression. It highlights the need for tailored support services for trans and non-binary Latin American individuals in healthcare, employment, and community support. It also advocates for more comprehensive, culturally sensitive, intersectional research and policy development approaches.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-25"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143774526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined if intragroup marginalization within the gay community contributes to SMM's mental health after accounting for experiences of heterosexist discrimination. Study participants were 283 Australian SMM (Mage = 32.12, SD = 10.81) who completed an online survey of heterosexist discrimination and intragroup marginalization, as well as levels of depression, social anxiety, self-esteem, and outness. Intragroup marginalization was measured using a new scale assessing marginalization due to social (e.g., status), individual (e.g., physical appearance), and identity (e.g., race/ethnicity) attributes. Depression, social anxiety, and self-esteem were regressed on all other measures in three hierarchical models. Individual intragroup marginalization predicted greater depression, social anxiety, and lower self-esteem; identity intragroup marginalization predicted greater depression and social anxiety; and, unexpectedly, social intragroup marginalization predicted lower social anxiety and greater self-esteem. These associations persisted after considering heterosexist discrimination, which predicted poorer mental health outcomes, while outness was not a significant predictor. The results reveal varied associations between intragroup marginalization, heterosexist discrimination, and mental health, suggesting complex relationships between multilateral stressors and SMM's mental health.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-31"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143765376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Building upon research linking social identity with health and wellbeing, the present research conducted qualitative research surveys with a sample of 58 LGBTQIA+ participants to explore how they accessed informal mental health support, and how their shared social identity as LGBTQIA+ community members impacted their views on such support. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to identify four themes in the data. One theme found participants describing a shared queer identity as essential for seeking informal peer support, while the second found that being understood was more important than any particular identity. A third theme identified \"blind spots\" in LGBTQIA+ informal peer support, whereby particular identities had difficulty accessing this support, while a fourth theme articulated the versatile roles played by informal support in LGBTQIA+ mental health. Divergent perspectives on the importance of LGBTQIA+ identity and potential avenues for future research based on the findings are discussed.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-27"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143774523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using data from a national sample of LGBT Americans aged 50 years and older, structural equation models were estimated to examine the mediating role of perceived social support for the relationship between social network size and composition and depressive symptoms and loneliness. Models were estimated with total social network size, and then grouped by LGBT and non-LGBT identity, and age composition (≥50 vs <50). Total social network size had a direct and indirect association with emotional wellbeing, with the indirect association mediated by perceived social support. Although perceived social support mediated the association between both LGBT and non-LGBT social network size and emotional wellbeing, the mediation effect for LGBT network size was larger. Perceived social support mediated the association between the social network size of members aged 50 years or older and emotional wellbeing, while the social network size of members less than 50 years old had no significant direct or indirect association. Due to shared experiences, LGBT older adults may feel more supported by similar others, and therefore, these networks were likely more advantageous for their emotional wellbeing.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-19"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143732416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were analyzed using Reflexive Thematic analysis, utilizing the reflexivity and subjectivity of the researcher to produce the overall themes. Three overall themes were conceptualized, the first theme \"Perfection or rejection\" reflected pressures to attain a \"fit\" body type by the queer community, and how this translated to a lack of body acceptance. The second theme \"Hate your current body, but not yourself\" explored how participants perceived self-criticism as \"positive\" in relation to weight loss. The third theme \"Better to be hungry than overeat,\" demonstrated participants engagement in problematic dieting behaviors and how participants suggested these practices to others, despite discussing the impact on their overall wellbeing.

Guided by Street's pathway model of health communication, this study investigates the relationships between PCC, health orientation, social support, and sleep health among sexual minorities. Specifically, it examined whether health orientation mediated the association between PCC and sleep health, and whether social support moderated this indirect relationship. Results from a national survey in China (N = 273) showed that PCC indirectly influenced sleep health among sexual minorities through its positive association with health orientation. Specifically, PCC was positively associated with health orientation, which, in turn, was linked to improved sleep health. Additionally, social support moderated this indirect relationship, with the effect of PCC on sleep health via health orientation being significant only at high levels of social support. This study provides insights for healthcare providers and policymakers to address health disparities among sexual minorities. Implementing patient-centered strategies, fostering social support networks, and promoting health orientation can contribute to improved sleep health and overall well-being among sexual minority individuals.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143732414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
