It is relevant to understand with more amplitude the manifestations of stigma towards the Trans population using instruments whose psychometry is adequate. The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the reliability of the Scale of Negative Attitudes towards Trans People (EANT, in Spanish) and its factorial structure in healthcare providers in Puerto Rico. As a secondary objective, differences in attitudes towards Trans people between physical healthcare providers and mental healthcare providers were evaluated. The sample consisted of 67 healthcare providers recruited according to their availability. A point-biserial correlation, a Cronbach's alpha analysis, a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test were carried out to examine our objectives. The results confirmed that the EANT has a one-dimensional structure. The Cronbach's alpha internal consistency index of the scale was .75. No significant differences were found in attitudes towards Trans people between physical healthcare providers and mental healthcare providers. Finally, a discussion of the research findings is presented, as well as its limitations and contributions.</p>","PeriodicalId":89338,"journal":{"name":"Ciencias de la conducta : revista del Centro Caribeno de Estudios Post-Graduados","volume":"36 1","pages":"80-91"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9451131/pdf/nihms-1783659.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"33458025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Regulando la Enfermedad a través de la Definición y la Restricción: Profesionales de la Salud Hablan sobre el VIH/SIDA.","authors":"Souhail Malavé Rivera, Nelson Varas Díaz","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Las profesiones de la salud tienen un papel social dual. Por un lado, velan por el mantenimiento de la salud de la población protegiendo el bien común. Por el otro, dictaminan las formas saludables, y por lo tanto socialmente apropiadas, de ser, actuar y pensar. Este último papel, está más ligado al control social de la población que a una preocupación altruista hacia la misma. A través de esta supervisión y control, se construyen los sujetos a los cuales todos/as debemos aspirar a ser para gozar de aceptación social. Los/as profesionales de la salud han jugado un rol protagónico en dicho proceso, siendo los agentes que delimitan y definen lo que es enfermo vs. saludable, útil vs. inútil, apropiado vs. inapropiado. En el caso de la epidemia del VIH, este esfuerzo se ha hecho cada vez más vigente ya que estos/as profesionales juegan un papel importante en el tratamiento de las personas que viven con VIH/SIDA (PVVS). Sin embargo, su función está plasmada de definiciones que sirven para criminalizar a las PVVS. El objetivo de este estudio fue explorar la manera en que una muestra de profesionales de la salud en Puerto Rico construyen a las PVVS. Con este propósito, entrevistamos 80 profesionales de la salud y estudiantes de estas profesiones. Estas entrevistas fueron grabadas, transcritas y sometidas a un análisis de discurso. Los resultados reflejaron que según las personas participantes: 1) la PVVS no es una persona \"normal\" o funcional bajo los estándares sociales debido a que su salud no se los permite, 2) representa una carga para la sociedad incluyendo familiares, amigos/as, el mundo del trabajo, e incluso para el gobierno, 3) debe ser vigilada porque representa un riesgo para la persona seronegativa que es descrita como saludable y productiva, y 4) necesita que su salud y conducta sexual sean controladas por vía legal y/o por las personas que representan las instituciones sociales, como lo son los/as profesionales de la salud. En este artículo abordamos el potencial rol de la psicología para servir como vehículo de reconstrucción de dichas nociones, tomando en consideración su propio rol en la formación y mantenimiento de dicho sujeto socialmente deseable.</p>","PeriodicalId":89338,"journal":{"name":"Ciencias de la conducta : revista del Centro Caribeno de Estudios Post-Graduados","volume":"21 1","pages":"61-96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3198801/pdf/nihms118520.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"30231657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
