Abstract(s)
A literatura tem demonstrado que as microagressões têm tido um impacto
significativamente negativo na saúde mental da comunidade LGBTQIA+. Tendo em
conta este impacto e a falta de investigação nesta temática, o objetivo geral deste estudo
é avaliar o impacto das microagressões nos níveis de stress percecionados e na
autoestima na comunidade LGBTQIA+. Neste estudo, transversal, participaram 133
indivíduos portugueses com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e 51 anos. O protocolo de
recolha de dados foi constituído por um questionário sociodemográfico e pelos
instrumentos “Escala de Microagressões de Género e Minorias Sexuais”, “Escala do
Stress Percecionado” e “Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg”.
Os resultados sugerem uma correlação significativa entre o impacto das
microagressões, o stress percecionado e a autoestima. Os resultados também indicam
que, na variável género, existem influências estatisticamente significativas
relativamente às microagressões e stress percecionado, ao contrário da autoestima. No
entanto, com a variável orientação sexual, os resultados demonstram que existem
diferenças estatisticamente significativas apenas nas microagressões, sendo que nos
resultados do stress percecionado e autoestima não foram apresentadas quaisquer
diferenças.
Com estes resultados foi possível concluir que as microagressões podem ter um
impacto significativo em minorias sexuais na população portuguesa, sendo necessário
realizar-se mais investigação nesta área, de forma a prestar um maior e melhor auxílio a
esta comunidade.
Literature has proved microaggressions have a negative significant impact in LGBTQIA+ community’s mental health. Considering this impact and the lack of investigation on this theme, the objective of this study is assessing microaggressions’ impact on perceive stress and self-esteem’ levels on LGBTQIA+ community. The sample of this cross-sectional study consist of 133 Portuguese individuals with ages in between 18 and 51. The data collection protocol consisted of a sociodemographic questionnaire and instruments “Gender and Sexual Minorities Microaggression Scale”, “Perceived Stress Scale” and “Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale”. The results suggest a positive correlation about microaggressions’ impact on perceived stress and self-esteem. The results also indicate that, in the gender variable, there are statistically significant influences regarding microaggressions and perceived stress, unlike self-esteem. However, with the sexual orientation variable, the results show that there are statistically significant differences only in microaggressions, since in the results of perceived stress and self-esteem there were no differences. With these results, it was possible to conclude that microaggressions can have a significant impact on sexual minorities in the Portuguese population, being necessary to do more research in this theme, to provide better assistance to the community.
