Abstract(s)
As pessoas LGBTQIA+ são alvo de exclusão social e marginalização no seu quotidiano. A
presente monografia tem como foco principal o estudo da “Relevância da Competência
Médica nos Cuidados de Saúde à Comunidade LGBTQIA+” onde se pretende analisar as
experiências vividas por esta população nos serviços de saúde e compreender as possíveis
implicações na sua saúde global. O presente estudo tem como um dos objetivos centrais
discutir a importância e a pertinência de adotar uma perspetiva livre de preconceitos e
estereótipos ligados à orientação sexual, à identidade, expressões e características de género na prática médica. A presente dissertação é do tipo qualitativo, estando aliada a um
momento exploratório, dividindo-se em duas partes. A primeira parte remete para uma
revisão de literatura, a qual ocupa o papel central desta investigação. Foi efetuada uma
seleção de 66 recursos bibliográficos em língua portuguesa e inglesa. A recolha dos artigos foi realizada entre outubro 2023 a novembro de 2024 através da base de dados
PubMed e do motor de busca GoogleScholar. A segunda parte remete para a investigação
empírica, realizada com recurso a um inquérito aplicado por meio da plataforma Google
Forms, constituído por um conjunto de questões abertas e de escolha múltipla, às pessoas Presidentes dos vários Núcleos de Estudantes de Medicina, relativamente à abordagem das necessidades em saúde da comunidade LGBTQIA+ no âmbito da formação médica, em Portugal. Conclui-se que é fundamental pôr em prática uma medicina não cisheteronormativa, empática, informada e inclusiva capaz de responder de forma holística às
necessidades de todas as pessoas. Mostrou-se que as pessoas Trans, as mulheres Lésbicas, Bissexuais e os homens Gays continuam a ser alvo de uma medicina desinformada e
que, em algum momento, já vivenciaram algum tipo de discriminação nos serviços de
saúde. Conclui-se, também, através das respostas das pessoas estudantes dos núcleos de
medicina, que existem lacunas nos curricula médicos, sendo, por isso, fulcral a ação célere por parte das escolas médicas na formação de futuras pessoas médicas competentes
e capazes de responder às necessidades da comunidade LGBTQIA+.
LGBTQIA+ people experience social exclusion and marginalization in their everyday lives. The main focus of this monograph is the study of the ‘Relevance of Medical Competence in Health Care for the LGBTQIA+ Community,’ which aims to analyse the experiences of this population in health services and understand the possible implications for their overall health. One of the central aims of this study is to discuss the importance and relevance of adopting a perspective free of prejudices and stereotypes linked to sexual orientation, identity, gender expressions, and characteristics in medical practice. This is a qualitative dissertation with an exploratory approach divided into two parts. The first part refers to a literature review, which is the centerpiece of this research. A selection of 66 bibliographical resources in Portuguese and English was made. The articles were collected between October 2023 and November 2024 using the PubMed database and the Google Scholar search engine. The second part was drawn up through a survey applied via the Google Forms platform, consisting of a set of open-ended and multiple-choice questions, to the Presidents of the various Medical Student Centres regarding the approach to the health needs of the LGBTQIA+ community in the context of medical training in Portugal. The conclusion is that it is essential to put into practice a non-cis heteronormative, empathetic, informed, and inclusive medicine that can respond holistically to the needs of all people. It was shown that trans people, lesbian and bisexual women, and gay men continue to be the target of uninformed medicine and that, at some point, they have experienced some discrimination in health services. It is also clear from the student's responses in the medical centers that there are gaps in the medical curricula, which is why swift action on the part of medical schools is crucial in training future doctors who are competent in responding to the needs of the LGBTQIA+ community.
