Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Transpersoner tillhör en av de grupper i samhället som rapporterar om bristfälligt bemötande inom den svenska hälso- och sjukvården. De senaste åren har transpersoners synlighet i samhället förändrats. Allt fler personer önskar att genomgå utredningar, behandlingar och juridiskt könsbyte för att leva mer i enlighet med sin könsidentitet. Ett antal studier visar att det finns en kunskapsbrist bland sjuksköterskor gällande transpersoner. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att sammanställa transpersoners erfarenheter av interaktioner med vårdpersonal samt hur de ser på bemötande inom hälso- och sjukvården. Metod: Genom strukturerade databassökningar i CINAHL, PubMed och PsychInfo identifierades 15 artiklar som var relevanta i förhållande till studiens syfte. Kvalitativ latent innehållsanalys användes för att identifiera samband och mönster mellan de 15 artiklarna. Resultat: Transpersonerna upplevde att vårdpersonal hade varierande och bristande kunskaper kring trans och könsidentitet. Kunskapsnivån kunde kopplas till hur vårdpersonal agerade mot transpersoner. Både negativa och positiva erfarenheter av interaktion med vårdpersonal identifierades. Vårdpersonalens agerande påverkade hur transpersonerna reagerade och agerade i interaktionen med vårdpersonal. Konklusion: En förvriden maktbalans mellan vårdpersonal och patient uppstår när transpersoner upplever sig maktlösa gällande sin vård samtidigt som de upplever att de måste vara ihärdiga och kräva makt för att få vård. Genom att tillämpa kulturkompetent omvårdnad kan vårdpersonal förbättra sättet de interagerar med transpersoner.

Abstract [en]

Background: Transgender people in Sweden report of having inadequate experiences of interactions with healthcare professionals. Visibility of transgender people in Sweden has changed over recent years. A growing number of people desire to pursue investigations, treatments and juridical gender change in order to live in accordance with their gender identity. A number of studies conclude that there is a lack of knowledge among nurses concerning trans issues. Aim: The aim of the literature study was to compile the experiences of transgender people concerning interactions with healthcare professionals, and how they experienced being approached in healthcare settings. Method: Through structured database searches in CINAHL, PubMed and PsychInfo, 15 articles relevant to the aim of the study were identified. Qualitative latent content analysis was used to identify patterns across the 15 articles. Result: Transgender people perceived that healthcare professionals had insufficient knowledge regarding trans. The level of knowledge affected the way healthcare professionals acted towards transgender people. These behaviors affected the reactions and actions of transgender people when engaging with healthcare professionals. Conclusion: A distorted power balance between patient and healthcare professionals is created when trans people feel both powerless concerning their healthcare while also experiencing the need to be persistent in their healthcare process. By acquiring cultural competence, healthcare professionals can improve the way they interact with transgender people.
