Abstract

William Roslindo Paranhos et al. Training of health professionals to care for LGBTQI+. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2021, vol.25, e200684. eISSN 1807-5762. https://doi.org/10.1590/interface.200684

Health is everyone’s right. Most research have considered, among other aspects, the health professionals’ improvement of capacities, aimed at serving minorities, including LGBTQI+ (lesbian, gays, bisexual, transsexual, queer, intersex, +) identities, in comprehensively dealing with the human being as a whole. Thus, this study aimed identifying the gaps and potentialities in the process of training health professionals that care for LGBTQI+’s, through a systematic literature review. It is a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory approach, and the analysis showed that health professionals are not prepared to deal with these identities, being essential for the promotion of health and well-being at the heart of LGBTQI+’s care, to improve communication through informative materials, public policies, curricular restructuring in health courses, and additionally a cultural deconstruction operating in favor of social equity.
