Naturligt eller naturaliserat? En mixed methods studie på effekterna av attityd och kunskap om könsidentitet för psykologers bemötande av icke-binära och transpersoner

- Abstract
- The aim of this study was to examine the attitude and knowledge of psychologists in regard to transgender and non-binary people, and how it affects their treatment. Based on gender binary and non-binary this was investigated by integrating the main perspective of social psychology with gender studies. This study was a mixed methods design, producing and analyzing both quantitative and qualitative data. The data was collected through a survey aimed towards psychologists. The survey consisted of statements based on three scales; attitude, knowledge and treatment, as well as an open-ended question. The quantitative result showed that both attitude and knowledge correlates significantly with treatment. A regression analysis was made in which... (More)

The quantitative result showed that both attitude and knowledge correlates significantly with treatment. A regression analysis was made in which only the latter predictor contributed uniquely to the variance. The qualitative result was analyzed using directed content analysis, with the three pre-determined themes attitude, knowledge and treatment guiding the coding of the data. The results revealed positive attitudes and the importance of respect and consideration regarding treatment. In terms of knowledge and experience, the analysis showed that education and workplaces had not provided sufficient knowledge, which therefore had to be sought out from other sources. Furthermore, the results emphasized the importance of equal treatment and knowledge prior to meetings, but also uncertainty in terms of competence. This study highlights the need for knowledge acquisition to ensure adequate non-binary approaches in practice and research. Further studies in this area could identify how these approaches can be developed to contribute to an equal healthcare for transgender and non-binary people. (Less)

- Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka psykologers attityd och kunskap avseende transpersoner och icke-binära, samt hur det påverkar bemötande. Med utgångspunkt i binäritet och icke-binäritet studerades detta utifrån ett socialpsykologiskt perspektiv med integrering av genusvetenskaplig teori. Studien var en mixed methods design då den hade både en kvantitativ samt kvalitativ datainsamlings- och analysmetod. Datan samlades in genom en enkät riktad till psykologer. Enkäten bestod av påståenden utifrån tre skalor; attityd, kunskap och bemötande, samt en fritextfråga. Det kvantitativa resultatet visade att både attityd och kunskap korrelerar signifikant med bemötande. En regressionsanalys utfördes och visade att endast den sistnämnda... (More)

Med utgångspunkt i binäritet och icke-binäritet studerades detta utifrån ett socialpsykologiskt perspektiv med integrering av genusvetenskaplig teori. Studien var en mixed methods design då den hade både en kvantitativ samt kvalitativ datainsamlings- och analysmetod. Datan samlades in genom en enkät riktad till psykologer. Enkäten bestod av påståenden utifrån tre skalor; attityd, kunskap och bemötande, samt en fritextfråga. Det kvantitativa resultatet visade att både attityd och kunskap korrelerar signifikant med bemötande. En regressionsanalys utfördes och visade att endast den sistnämnda prediktorn bidrog unikt till variansen. För att analysera det kvalitativa resultatet användes directed content analysis där tre förutbestämda teman; attityd, kunskap samt bemötande användes vid kodning av datan från fritextfrågan. Den kvalitativa datan visade positiva attityder och vikten av att vara respektfull och tänka på sitt bemötande. Gällande kunskap och erfarenhet framkom det att utbildningen och arbetsplatsen inte gett tillräcklig kunskap och att informationen ofta inhämtas på annat sätt. När det gällde bemötande lyftes vikten av att bemöta alla klienter jämlikt och att besitta rätt kunskap inför möten, samtidigt fanns en osäkerhet. Studien påvisar att det finns ett behov av att utveckla kunskapen kring de icke-binära synsätten i praktik och forskning. Psykologer behöver ha tillgång till kunskap i förhållande till transpersoner och icke-binära. Vidare studier på området kan kartlägga behovet av detta samt se till hur ett icke-binärt synsätt kan utvecklas för att bidra till en jämlik vård för transpersoner och icke-binära. (Less)
