Estratégias de acolhimento de enfermagem às pessoas transexuais na atenção primária à saúde: uma revisão narrativa

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the strategies for welcoming transgender people in primary health care by the nursing team. Method: this is a narrative literature review, which allows a systematic search for studies on the subject. The research was carried out in publications between 2014 and November 2024, through online access to CAPES (Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel) Periodicals, from which there was access to the Virtual Health Library (BVS), which included the LILACS, BDENF and MEDLINE/PUBMED databases. Results: Based on the analysis of 8 articles, including scientific articles and dissertations; all of which met the defined inclusion criteria, a discussion was proposed in three axes: Welcoming trans people in health services; Social and professional challenges until the arrival of trans people in health services; and Health strategies for trans people in primary health care. Conclusion: Trans people still face prejudice in health services, resulting in hostile environments that devalue their dignity. It is crucial that primary care offers a humanized welcome, with nurses adopting practices based on empathy, to meet the needs of this population in a dignified and inclusive manner.
