Percepções dos médicos da Atenção Primária à Saúde sobre a comunidade LGBTQIAP+ no Município de Cáceres – MT

Abstract

The LGBTQIAP+ population is a group of social minorities across the sexual, affective and gender spectrum present in our society. These people are still daily victims of violence of different types and in different environments, framing the LGBTQIAP+ community as a social determinant of health. Even with the publication of important documents that provide for the inclusion of this population in the health system, in practice, the cisheteronormative cultural context of our society influences the way in which these people are cared for, often being victims of violence in an environment that is supposed to welcome them. them. In this way, this work aims to understand the conception of doctors working in PHC in the city of Cáceres – MT, regarding the health of the LGBTQIAP+ population and how these people are cared for. This is an observational study, with a qualitative approach, carried out by applying questionnaires to professionals who work as doctors in the city's PHC. The sample number was made up of 10 doctors, in which a pattern was observed in the lack of information among these professionals about LGBTQIAP+ health, as a result of deficient training in topics such as sexual and gender diversity.
