Política nacional de saúde integral à população LGBT, identidades e orientação sexual de pessoas trans: uma proposta de atualização do cadastro no prontuário hospitalar

Abstract

This course completion work of the Specialization in Gender Studies at the Federal University of Santa Maria is an Intervention Project in the hospital environment, whose general objective is to prepare a proposal to implement the requirements of gender identity and sexual orientation in the registration of the patient's medical record in a hospital setting based on what is recommended by the National Policy for Comprehensive Health for the Population. The construction of this project derives from the author's experience in a hospital institution that houses the first trans outpatient clinic in the interior of the State of Rio Grande in the South and the regions in which this service is a reference. There was a lack of identification of gender identity and sexual orientation in the patients' records. The absence of this information can result in a series of challenges and barriers faced by the LGBTQIAPN+ community during their stay in hospital, such as inadequate treatment, demonstration and lack of understanding of gender specificities on the part of the care team.
