The desire to be treated like any other patient : A literature study on transgender people´s experiences of care relations (English)
Abstract [en]

Background: Research shows that transgender people are disproportionally represented in term of physical and mental illness compared to cis people. Stigmatization and discrimination in society results in transgender people having low trust in society's institutions, including health care. A good care relationship and equal care are of great importance for a patient's well-being and health. However, nurses feel that they do not have enough competence or experience in caring for transgender people. Aim: The aim of this literature study was to describe transgender people's experiences of care relationships with health care staff. Method: A qualitative literature study with an inductive approach consisting of twelve articles that were analyzed through a qualitative content analysis. Results: Three categories were identified: Lack of competence in the care meeting, Abusive care meetings and Affirmingcare meetings. Seven subcategories were also identified. These findings highlight that transgender people experience incompetence and violations in care meetings. However, positive experiences in the form of affirmative care meetings have also been described. Conclusions: The healthcare institution needs to implement education on cis-normativity and transgender people's specific care needs. Therefore, more research is needed on how transgender people believe that care can become more inclusive for this group of individuals.
