“…The bivariate analysis showed a significant correlation (p < 0.01) between five of the reported AHC experiences and mental health professionals (psychologists and psychiatrists), and between 10 of the experiences studied and specialists in endocrinology, urology and gynecology. This should alert not only medical services and their linked authorities, but especially the universities that train these professionals, considering that, according to a study recently carried out in the north of the country, "84% [of doctors] never received any training on the topic in their university education, [and that] 96% were interested in receiving information about the topic" (Zapata Pizarro et al 2021).…”

“…For its part, the Chilean health ministry has issued some technical guidelines addressing health attention for this population aimed at regulating use of the social name in clinical records and health attention, as well as the training of gender health teams. However, these guidelines are often not complied with or are unknown to health personnel (Zapata Pizarro et al 2021).…”

“…Again, the T Survey (Linker et al 2017), in which 315 trans and persons of "non-conforming gender" participated, showed that 95% had had their gender identity questioned in health services, 27% had been ignored in their request for attention, and 25% had received taunts in these contexts. Lastly, a study carried out in the north of the country (Zapata Pizarro et al 2021) showed that 14% of the health staff surveyed did not respect use of the social name and that 4.3% even "expressed rejection or hatred at attending transgender people" (p. 64).…”

Abuse in health care (AHC) is an emerging concept used to describe healthcare practices and conduct that health services users find belittling and degrading. Such experiences, whose causes are not always voluntary but systematic and structural, have been described as one of the main barriers to the trans and non-binary population’s access to health care. To study this problem in Chile, the country’s first trans and non-binary health survey was conducted between January 2021 and June 2022 with the participation of 1116 people. Univariate statistical analyses were performed to calculate the frequencies (f) and percentages (%) of the different forms of AHC reported. Chi-squared tests (p < 0.01) and the Pearson correlation coefficients (r > 0.10) were used to identify statistically significant correlations between experiences of AHC, the health personnel reportedly involved, and participants’ responses to these experiences. About 84% of the participants who replied to questions on this subject said that they had experienced some form of AHC. The most frequently reported were inappropriate use of pronouns (65.9%) and stereotypical comments about genders (48.3%). These events occurred mostly in encounters with secretaries and receptionists, followed by psychologists and nurses. The most frequent response of participants to these situations was to change the medical staff responsible for their care, followed by ceasing to seek professional attention. A mainstreamed relational gender perspective is required to address the complexity of this problem.
