- Abstract (Swedish)
- Transpersoner tillhör en marginaliserad grupp som ofta tvingas möta olika typer av diskriminering i samhället. Tidigare forskning visar att förtroendet till samhället är lågt i denna grupp, samt att erfarenheter av bemötande från personal i vården till stor del är av negativ karaktär. Därför ämnade denna studie att undersöka hur unga transpersoner beskriver sina erfarenheter av samt förtroende till trans-, hälso- och sjukvården och psykiatrin. Studien ämnade även att undersöka hur kopplingen mellan erfarenheterna och förtroendet kunde förstås. Den valda metoden var kvalitativa semi-strukturerade intervjuer med sex transpersoner i åldrarna 18-28 år, där två av dem hade erfarenheter av att identifiera sig som icke-binär i transvården. Tre...

Studien ämnade även att undersöka hur kopplingen mellan erfarenheterna och förtroendet kunde förstås. Den valda metoden var kvalitativa semi-strukturerade intervjuer med sex transpersoner i åldrarna 18-28 år, där två av dem hade erfarenheter av att identifiera sig som icke-binär i transvården. Tre perspektiv användes för att analysera resultaten; intersektionalitet, den dramaturgiska ansatsen samt genusteori. I studien framkom att transpersonernas erfarenheter av de tre välfärdsintstitutionerna ofta var av negativ karaktär, där bristen på kunskap bland professionella ofta ledde till felkönande, nyfikenhet eller ifrågasättande. Transvården beskrevs som en institution som baseras på binära normer och stereotyper, där individer som inte uppträder i enlighet med dessa riskerar att inte få tillgång till vård. Erfarenheter av att ha blivit illa bemött av professionella i vården kunde i viss mån kopplas till ett bristande förtroende till den aktuella institutionen. Samtidigt beskrev intervjupersonerna även positiva erfarenheter, där en specifik vårdkontakt kunde ha fått dem att känna sig respekterade och sedda. De positiva erfarenheterna kunde få förtroendet att stärkas för den aktuella institutionen. Förtroendet till samhället överlag förblev däremot lågt, bland annat på grund av upplevelser av att inte bli tagen på allvar i debatt och politik. (Less)
- Abstract
- Transgender people are part of a marginalized group that often face discrimination in society. Previous research shows that levels of trust towards society are low in this group, and that experiences of meeting health care professionals are often perceived as negative. This study, therefore, aimed to examine how transgender youth describe their experiences of, and trust towards, transgender health care, psychiatry, and health care. Another aim was to examine how the experiences might affect trust levels towards these institutions. The method chosen for this study was qualitative semi-structured interviews with six transgender individuals between the ages of 18-28, where two of them had experiences of being non-binary in transgender health...

Another aim was to examine how the experiences might affect trust levels towards these institutions. The method chosen for this study was qualitative semi-structured interviews with six transgender individuals between the ages of 18-28, where two of them had experiences of being non-binary in transgender health care. Three perspectives were used when analyzing the results; intersectionality, dramaturgy, and gender theory. This study found that transgender people’s experiences of health care institutions often were perceived as negative, where the lack of knowledge among health care professionals often led to misgendering, curiosity, or questioning. Transgender health care was described as an institution based on binary norms and stereotypes, where individuals that don’t perform accordingly risk not being qualified as transgender. Experiences of having been treated badly by health care professionals were to some extent connected to developing a lack of trust toward that specific institution. At the same time, the interviewees also shared positive experiences of treatment, where often one specific professional had made them feel respected and seen. The positive experience could result in improved levels of trust toward that specific institution. However, trust levels towards society, in general, remained low due to feelings of their problems not being taken seriously in political debates and general opinions. (Less)
