“…Veiled transphobia is also seen in the nursing and medical students' social representations, when they use terms such as “imbalance and sexual option” to refer to trans people, or as “sexual conflict”, and refer to “prejudice” to care for trans people (Matão et al, 2010). About transphobia, we cite the study by García‐Acosta et al, 2020, conducted with a group of 602 participants, including 212 Nursing students, in which the authors sought to identify explicit attitudes of prejudice and transphobia in this population. The results indicated low mean values of explicit transphobia or prejudice among the health care workers, students or individuals in other occupations.…”

Objective To integrate and analyse the literature produced by nurses in terms of care, education and understanding of the reality of transgender (trans) people. Design An integrative review methodology guided by the framework proposed by Whittemore and Knafl. Data sources The search strategy was applied in the following databases: Medline, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science and CINAHL, as well as in Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde, during February and March 2021, with no time frame. Review methods The references found were assessed according to the eligibility criteria established. The information of the articles included was extracted, and a thematic analysis was performed to synthesize the review findings. Results The searches in the databases yielded 2859 articles; 985 after removing duplicates, and 33 articles were included in this review. Three major themes were identified: (1) Understanding the trans universe through the trans perspective; (2) Understanding health and nursing care for trans people; and (3) Trans women as the focus of health and nursing care. The themes evidenced in the lens of nurses and clients the importance of nursing training at all levels to prepare professionals on how to provide culturally competent nursing care for this population and reduce healthcare inequities. Conclusion Nurses must work to provide a space for convergence and enhancement of the rights of trans people and cease to be a verticalized care model. To such end, it is necessary to devise places and possibilities to teach and learn, to construct and reconstruct a culturally competent nursing care. Impact This review highlighted the current knowledge and identified gaps in the understanding of nurses, health professionals and students about the experience lived by trans people, resulting from the lack of training and continuing education of these professionals.

“…A cultura de humanização e respeito ao nome social é imprescindível, pois resulta principalmente no reconhecimento e respeito ao ser humano, passando pela forma que a equipe de saúde irá agir, pelas subjetividades dos usuários e, por fim, pelos coletivos (37)(38) . A transfobia, concretizada na resistência ao uso do nome social, pode ocasionar dificuldades no processo saúde-doença-cuidado de travestis, mulheres e homens transexuais (28) .…”

Objective: to describe obstacles to the access to health services of the transvestite and transgender population. Methods: integrative review, conducted from July to August 2022, in the following databases: LILACS, MEDLINE, Web of Science and SCOPUS. Results: 472 primary studies were found; however, at the end of the analysis process, 14 productions were included in the study. Obstacles to access to health were observed, such as the invisibility of health specificities, the lack of information and preparation of professionals, the susceptibility, which appears in the juvenile stage, and the resistance to care for sexually transmitted infections, highlighting the need to invest in the production of policies that affirm the right to health for this segment of the population. Conclusion: there was a lack of studies on the access of transvestites and transgenders to health services. These difficulties are associated with conservatism, heteronormativity, lack of implementation and regulation of public policies for them. Contributions to practice: this article presents information about access to health care for the transvestite and transgender population, facilitating the view of the specific needs of this population.

“…As mentioned earlier, these stereotypes can translate into violence and discrimination toward students. As García-Acosta et al [ 55 ] indicated, more interventions are required for the elimination of negative attitudes and prejudices toward trans individuals as such attitudes can translate into discriminatory behaviors toward them. Similarly, another recent study from the same year [ 48 ] highlights the need for inclusive and comprehensive LGBTQIA+ sexuality education for the prevention of sexual diversity violence.…”

Affective-sexual and gender diversity is an increasingly distinctive and extended reality and should be acknowledged and respected. From a psychosocial and educational point of view, it is appropriate to review young people’s attitudes and knowledge regarding this, relating them to aspects such as empathy, violence, or bullying, to implement quality education in the early stages of primary education. The main objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between empathy levels, attitudes toward transsexuality, and bullying among Spanish university students. The sample consisted of 247 students. Instruments were administered to evaluate negative attitudes toward transsexual people, gender ideology, transphobia, bullying, and empathy. Inverse relationships were found between transphobia and empathy. Regression analysis demonstrated the predictive ability of empathy on attitudes toward transsexual people. The results of this study are expected to increase awareness in society and encourage appropriate, satisfactory, or tolerable coexistence, in which all individuals can be free to live and express themselves. While the results indicated that the quality of life of transgender people has comparatively improved, there is still a long way to go.
