“…It is understood that there is a need for more training, given that most of the participants (87.67%) said they hoped to achieve the characteristics and perceptions that professionals need to have to serve the LGBT+ population (38.39); understanding gender dysphoria and the specificities of care for this public, in compliance with the fundamental principles of the SUS: health as a right of all (universality), applying prevention, promotion and rehabilitation actions to health (integrality) and reducing inequalities by offering the necessary support to those who need it most (equity) (40)(41)(42).…”

Introduction: The National Policy on Integral Health of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transvestites, and Transsexuals (PNSILGBT+) aims to eliminate discrimination and institutional prejudice in public health services, with emphasis on training and enabling professionals to assist in the care of this population. However, for transsexuals and transvestites, this access continues to be neglected. Aim: To determine the profile of health professionals, their academic-professional training in health, and their knowledge about the specificities of gender identity. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional, observational, quantitative survey conducted with health professionals working in the Caetés Region. Data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire, which was applied online via Google Forms in the period from March 2021 to August 2021. Results: The sample consisted of 73 participants: 82.19% female, 100% cisgender, with a mean age of 32.37±7.80 years, and the majority self-declared as Catholic (65.75%). The largest number of health professionals were in Nursing (34.24%), practicing in Tertiary Care (50.68%), with an average time of service of 6.24±6.30 years. The volunteers reported that they did not understand the difference between cisgender and transgender people (57.53%), admitting that they had not received any training on gender identity or the healthcare of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transvestites, and Transsexuals (LGBT)+ people (79.45%). However, 87.67% understood the importance of training on this subject for the healthcare of this population. Conclusion: The academic training and professional development of health professionals are still lacking when it comes to the theme studied; a fundamental point needed to comply with the National Curricular Guidelines (NCDs) for courses in health, National Policy for Professional Development, and in particular, the PNSILGBT+. Clinical Implications: This study demonstrates the need for continued trainings on gender identity, health and care of the LGBT+ population, with a focus on transgender people, to eliminate institutional bias. Strengths and limitations: The research was based on the search for professionals' knowledge about gender identity, even in healthcare in a region in the interior of the Amazon, however it did not reach the preterit sample n, but it was important for the debate between the professionals reached and the institutions and their managers. Keywords: Gender Identity; Transgender; Sexual and Gender Minorities; Vocational training; Professional development.

“…The health field tends to follow a single direction, that of compulsory cis-heteronormativity. The assumptions, judgments and prejudices expressed by health professionals and institutions assume that all patients seen in the health system are configured as heterosexual and cisgender subjects (35)(36) , or that they are devoid of sexuality (37)(38) . However, health professionals and service providers are beginning to encounter a generation of politically engaged LGBTI+ elders who live openly and whose lifestyles and needs have so far not been properly included in social policies.…”

Objective: to describe and analyze the scientific production on health care for Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transvestites, Transsexuals, Transgenders, Intersex (LGBTI+) and other variations of gender or sexual orientation living in Nursing Homes (NHs). Methods: a scoping review, in which PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Virtual Health Library databases were analyzed and studies from other sources were added. After assessment by two independent reviewers, 19 publications were selected to compose the sample. Results: the studies were grouped into two categories. Final considerations: NHs are configured as spaces that are not very inclusive, where LGBTI+ elders’ demands are not considered due to the cis-heteronormativity in force in these places. Training and awareness of health professionals on the LGBTI+ theme is a tool that can make such spaces more inclusive for this population.

Resumo Com o objetivo de compreender o modo como mulheres transexuais têm sido atendidas em instituições do Sistema Único de Saúde, o estudo adotou o delineamento qualitativo. A análise de conteúdo temática de entrevistas e de grupo focal resultou em três categorias: utilização de serviços de saúde por mulheres trans; violência na Atenção à Saúde; falta de atendimento especializado. As participantes referiram não possuir vínculos com a Atenção Primária e buscar atendimento no ambulatório vinculado ao hospital de ensino e em pronto atendimento. Casos de violência institucional, negligência e preconceito permeiam suas experiências. Atendimento humanizado; credenciamento do hospital para o processo transexualizador; investimento no bem-estar do trabalhador; criação de protocolos de atendimento e canais de denúncia foram sugeridos. A equidade e a atenção integral requerem ampliação e qualificação dos serviços. Investimentos em Educação Permanente são essenciais.
