Abstrakt

Z uwagi na zmieniające się okoliczności społeczne i prawne coraz więcej osób decyduje się na ujawnienie swojej transpłciowości i zróżnicowania pod względem płci. Opieka nad tą grupą pacjentów jest dużym wyzwaniem dla placówek medycznych. Celem pracy jest przedstawienie ogólnych zasad opieki nad osobami transpłciowymi i zróżnicowanymi pod względem płci. Praca powstała w oparciu o analizę dostępnych opracowań. Analiza piśmiennictwa potwierdza, że problematyka transpłciowości i zróżnicowania pod względem płci jest podejmowana przez wielu autorów. Z uwagi na rozpowszechnienie zgłaszania tożsamości transpłciowej i wynikających z niej problemów/ potrzeb zdrowotnych, niezbędnym staje się holistyczna opieka oraz kształcenie kadry medycznej w tym obszarze.

Due to changing social and legal circumstances, increasingly more people choose to disclose their transgender and gender diverse status. Caring for this group of patients is a major challenge for medical facilities. The aim of this paper is to present general principles of care for transgender and gender diverse individuals. The paper is based on the analysis of available studies. The literaturę analysis confirms that the issue of transgender and gender diverse patients is addressed by many authors. Given the prevalence of reporting transgender identity and the resulting health problems/ needs, it becomes necessary to provide holistic care and educate medical personnel in this area.
