Apoyo social percibido en personas trans

Apoyo social percibido en personas trans

Abstract

Las personas transexuales se encuentran en una situación de discriminación social reflejada en su salud y en la escasa investigación científica. La Teoría del Estrés Minoritario (Meyer, 1995) señala la importancia del apoyo social para el estrés de las minorías sexuales. En este estudio se pretende explorar el apoyo social y sus dimensiones en esta población. Participaron 81 personas, 36 transgénero de la Unidad de Trastornos de Identidad de Género del Principado de Asturias (UTIGPA) y 45 no trans como grupo control. Se aplicó The Mos Social Support Survey (Sherbourne y Stewart, 1991) para medir el apoyo social percibido y un cuestionario con variables sociodemográficas. Los resultados muestran que no existen diferencias en el apoyo social percibido entre ambos grupos. Sin embargo, las variables pareja, edad y situación laboral muestran cambios para la población transexual en algunas dimensiones. Estos hallazgos promueven futuras líneas de investigación que amplíen el conocimiento de este colectivo.

Transgender are in a situation of social discrimination reflected in their health and in the scarce scientific research. The Theory of Minority Stress (Meyer, 1995) emphasizes social support for stress of sexual minorities. This study aims to explore social support and its dimensions in this population. 81 people participated, 36 transgender of Unidad de Trastornos de Identidad de Género del Principado de Asturias (UTIGPA) and 45 non-trans as a control group. The Mos Social Support Survey (Sherbourne and Stewart, 1991) was applied to measure the perceived social support and a sociodemographic questionnaire. The results show that there are no differences in perceived social support between both groups. However, variables such as couple, age and work situation show changes for the transsexual population in some dimensions. These findings encourgae future lines of research that expand the knowledge of this group.
