摘要
本研究旨在探讨接受性别确认子宫切除术(GAH)的女变男变性者(FtMs)的经历,并调查患者对 GAH 的看法以及他们在手术前后对医护人员的期望和支持需求。研究采用了现象学方法和定性研究方法。通过深入访谈收集数据。样本的选择采用了多样性抽样法,这是一种有意识的抽样方法。研究对象包括20名2022年2月至2023年2月期间在土耳其接受GAH手术的女性。研究结果显示,参与者确定了三大主题:与身体和性别认同有关的经历、与医疗专业人员和系统有关的经历以及手术后的身心恢复。女性外阴残割者在接受子宫切除术后表示痛苦更少,快乐更多。与会者希望医疗专业人员和社会能够提高认识,使这一过程正常化,并改进法律程序。他们主张制定法律法规,在不进行手术的情况下解决生殖剥夺和身份认同问题,并能够在子宫切除术前冷冻卵细胞。这项研究揭示了变性女性在接受 GAH 前后的经历。这些发现有可能改善性别确认医疗保健,尤其是在我国。
"Escaping the Gender Prison"-Transgender Men's Experience Before and After Hysterectomy: A Qualitative Study.
This study aimed to examine the experiences of female-to-male transgendered individuals (FtMs) who underwent gender-affirming hysterectomy (GAH) and to investigate patients' perceptions of GAH and their expectations and support needs from healthcare professionals before and after the surgery. The study used a phenomenological approach and a qualitative research method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews. The sample was selected using diversity sampling, which is one of the deliberate sampling methods. The study included 20 FtMs with a GAH in Turkey between February 2022 and 2023. As a result of the study, participants identified three main themes: experiences with body and gender identity, experiences with health professionals and systems, and mental and physical recovery from surgery. FtMs individuals reported less distress and more happiness after undergoing a hysterectomy. The participants expected health professionals and society to raise awareness, normalize the process, and improve legal procedures. They advocated for legal regulations that address reproductive deprivation and identity issues without surgery and the ability to freeze oocytes before hysterectomy. This study sheds light on the experiences of transgender FtMs before and after GAH. These findings can potentially improve gender-affirming healthcare, particularly in our country.
