Este trabalho de investigação tem como objeto de estudo as vivências das pessoas trans num hospital da zona norte do país. Apresenta como objetivos analisar a perceção em relação ao seu atendimento, identificar dificuldades/barreiras e aspetos positivos das vivências de pessoas trans nesta conjuntura.
Delineou-se um estudo de cariz qualitativo, para o qual foram realizadas 16 entrevistas semiestruturadas a pessoas trans que frequentam a Unidade de Sexologia e Género entre janeiro e julho de 2025.
Os resultados obtidos foram analisados segundo o método de análise de conteúdo e deram origem a cinco categorias de análise: interação estabelecida com os profissionais de saúde, questões estruturais e organizacionais, perceção sobre o conhecimento clínico e a formação, a experiência mais marcante e o papel da sociedade na inclusão e apoio das pessoas trans.
Identificamos como dificuldades o tempo de espera para algumas consultas e cirurgias, bem como o contato para o hospital por via telefónica. Os resultados sugerem vivências positivas e inclusivas, com destaque para o papel dos profissionais de saúde e de todos os colaboradores de outras áreas. Observamos a utilização devida dos nomes e dos pronomes bem como a perceção de uma boa formação dos profissionais relativamente à saúde da pessoa trans.
Para os resultados relatados podem ter contribuído a Lei n.º 38/2018, de 7 de agosto e a publicação da Estratégia de Saúde para pessoas LGBTI, pela Direção-Geral de Saúde (DGS) em 2019. Evidenciamos uma maior procura dos serviços de saúde das pessoas trans e a realização de ações de formação direcionadas a esta área.
Impõem-se a continuação da produção de estudos nesta área como forma de compreender melhor as suas experiências e necessidades, facilitando a implementação de políticas de saúde e inclusão mais eficazes, promovendo o respeito e a igualdade.
This research study focuses on the experiences of transgender people in a hospital in the northern part of the country. Its objectives are to understand their perceptions of the care they receive, identify difficulties/barriers, and positive aspects of the experiences of transgender people in this context. A qualitative study was designed, in which 16 semi-structured interviews were conducted with transgender people who attend the Sexology and Gender Unit between January and July 2025. The results were analyzed using content analysis and originated five categories of analysis: interaction with health professionals, structural and organizational issues, perceptions of clinical knowledge and training, the most memorable experience, and the role of society in the inclusion and support of transgender people. We identified difficulties such as waiting times for some appointments and surgeries, as well as contacting the hospital by telephone. The results suggest positive and inclusive experiences, with emphasis on the role of health professionals and all employees in other areas. We observed the proper use of names and pronouns, as well as the perception of good training of professionals regarding the health of transgender people. Law No. 38/2018 of August 7 and the publication of the Health Strategy for LGBTI people by the Directorate-General for Health (DGS) in 2019 may have contributed to this. We have seen increased demand for health services from transgender people and the implementation of various training initiatives in this area. Further studies in this area are needed to better understand their experiences and needs, facilitating the implementation of more effective health and inclusion policies and promoting respect and equality.
