“…25,35 Our data also suggests that having LGB friends reduces homophobia, since it correlates negatively with both traditional and modern attitudinal dimensions. 36,37 These findings are in accordance with studies reporting that students with homosexual friends acquire more positive attitudes and may hold less stigmatizing attitudes even prior to the medical school. 29,30 In recent studies, the frequency of clinical encounters with LGBT patients showed as a predictor of less negative attitudinal scores 26,27 which was not verified in our study.…”

“…37 The instrument comprises 27 items/sentences assessing three negative attitudinal dimensions, rejection of proximity (RP -11 items), homosexuality pathologization (HP -five items) and modern heterosexism (MH -seven items), and one positive attitudinal dimension, support (SP -five items). RP measures a classical manifestation of prejudice related to the avoidance of being with lesbians and gay men in diverse social circumstances (e.g, 'I would feel uneasy if I found out that my doctor was not heterosexual').…”

RESUMOIntrodução: A população lésbica, gay, bissexual e transgénero enfrenta ainda preconceito nos cuidados de saúde e, para além disso, os médicos frequentemente referem falta de conhecimento sobre as necessidades de saúde específicas desta população. Este estudo teve como objetivo explorar os fatores associados com as atitudes e conhecimentos dos estudantes de medicina face à homossexualidade em diferentes anos do curso de medicina. Resultados: A análise incluiu 489 respostas. Os estudantes que se identificaram como sendo do género masculino, mais religiosos e com menos amigos lésbicas, gays ou bissexuais revelaram atitudes mais negativas em relação à homossexualidade. Anos mais avançados no curso ou maior contacto com pacientes lésbicas, gays ou bissexuais não se correlacionaram com as atitudes avaliadas. Apesar da progressão no curso se ter correlacionado significativamente com níveis mais elevados de conhecimento, os itens relacionados com saúde lésbicas, gays ou bissexuais apresentaram menor percentagem de respostas corretas. Material e Métodos Conclusão:As atitudes dos estudantes de medicina face a lésbicas e gays parecem ser pouco exploradas ao longo do curso de medicina, havendo também falta de conhecimento sobre as necessidades específicas de saúde das pessoas lésbicas, gays ou bissexuais. Este estudo destaca assim a importância do desenvolvimento de um currículo médico inclusivo, crucial na promoção da qualidade dos cuidados de saúde. ABSTRACT Introduction: Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people still face discrimination in healthcare environments and physicians often report lack of knowledge on this population's specific healthcare needs. In fact, recommendations have been put forward to include lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender health in medical curricula. This study aimed to explore factors associated with medical students' knowledge and attitudes towards homosexuality in different years of the medical course. Palavras Material and Methods:An anonymous online-based questionnaire was sent to all medical students enrolled at the Faculty of Medicine -University of Porto, Portugal, in December 2015. The questionnaire included socio-demographic questions, the Multidimensional Scale of Attitudes Toward Lesbians and Gay Men (27 items) and a Homosexuality Knowledge Questionnaire (17 items). Descriptive statistics, ANOVAs, Chi-square tests and Pearson's correlations were used in the analysis.Results: A total of 489 completed responses was analyzed. Male gender, religiosity and absence of lesbian, gay or bisexual friends were associated with more negative attitudes towards homosexuality. Attitudinal scores did not correlate with advanced years in medical course or contact with lesbian, gay or bisexual patients. Students aiming to pursue technique-oriented specialties presented higher scores in the 'Modern Heterosexism' subscale than students seeking patient-oriented specialties. Although advanced years in medical course correlated significantly with higher knowledge scores, items related with les...

“…Discutir propriedades psicométricas de ferramentas que avaliem a sexualidade se apresenta como fenômeno complexo, e problematizações que abarcam posicionamentos muitas vezes ideológicos, políticos e até fundamentalistas, dificultam ainda mais um criterioso posicionamento em relação aos estudos da sexualidade. Nesse sentido, analisar e mensurar aspectos pertinentes à sexualidade exige uma maior articulação entre processos culturais, psicológicos e sociais que perpassam a sexualidade e, neste trabalho em especifico, a sexualidade de mulheres lésbicas (Gato, Fontaine, & Leme, 2014;Lingiardi, Baiocco & Nardelli, 2012;Ross & Rosser, 1996;Shidlo, 1994). Para Gato, Fontaine e Leme (2014), embora a negação de diferentes expressões da sexualidade ainda seja fenômeno presente, se reconhece nos dias atuais e em sociedades mais desenvolvidas uma maior expansão dos direitos cíveis de pessoas lésbicas, gays, bissexuais, transexuais, travestis, transgêneros, queer e intersexuais (LGBTTTQI's).…”

Este estudo apresenta as etapas de construção de um instrumento psicométrico específico para a população lésbica e a descrição de suas evidências de validação. Os dados quantitativos foram coletados no aplicativo online Google Forms, do Google Drive, por meio da amostra de 1.231 mulheres lésbicas brasileiras (M = 27,87; DP = 9,10). Para a construção e validação do instrumento foram realizadas cinco etapas: 1) Avaliação qualitativa dos instrumentos pelo grupo focal com experts; 2) Avaliação dos instrumentos pelas informantes-chave; 3) Análise por juízes-pares; 4) Análise Fatorial Exploratória (AFE); e 5) Análise Fatorial Confirmatória (AFC). Os resultados da AFE e da AFC foram conduzidos no software Mplus versão 7.11. Os resultados descrevem a criação e as evidências de validade da ESCSSLésbicas, escala tipo Likert de 0 a 6, composta por 30 itens, e confiabilidade interna de 0,907. O instrumento mostrou-se adequado para a mensuração dos aspectos relativos à satisfação corporal e sexual de mulheres lésbicas.

The purpose of the study was to provide evidence on the validity and reliability of the Queer/Liberationist Scale (QLS, short version) among heterosexual Italian university students. The QLS analyzes new manifestations of sexual prejudice. A four-factor structure was supported. The subscales were related to gender, political ideology, religious beliefs, contact, supporting the civil rights of gay people, beliefs about the etiology of homosexuality, and sexual prejudice in the expected direction. Our results may be useful in planning intervention programs designed to foster the tolerance and normality of sexual diversity.
