Abstract
Aim

To explore the barriers to requesting social and healthcare assistance perceived by transgender persons and professionals involved in the assistance.

Method

A meta-study, qualitative systematic review, of studies published in English or Spanish, exploring the barriers, perceived by transgender persons and social and healthcare professionals, that transgender persons have when they seek social and healthcare assistance was carried out in the following databases Medline (PubMed), Scopus, Web of Science, Spanish National Research Council, CUIDEN, ProQuest, PsycINFO and CINAHL.

Results

Two thousand two hundred and sixty-one articles were found in the databases searched. Seven articles met all inclusion criteria and were included in this review. The professionals highlight the uncertainty when treating transgender persons and their lack of training. Transgender persons highlight the lack of information and the sense of helplessness it creates. Perceptions of transphobia, the fragmentation of services, administrative barriers, the lack of cultural sensitivity and professional training are also considered barriers to assistance.

Discussion

The findings of this study provide key information for the design of plans and programmes to improve the quality of social and health care for transgender persons.

Resumen
Objetivo

Explorar las barreras para solicitar asistencia sociosanitaria percibidas por personas transexuales y por profesionales que intervienen en la asistencia.

Método

Se realizó un metaestudio tipo revisión sistemática cualitativa de artículos publicados en inglés o en castellano en las bases de datos Medline (PubMed), Scopus, Web of Science, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, CUIDEN, ProQuest, PsycINFO y CINHAL, que indagaran en las barreras de las personas transexuales para solicitar atención sociosanitaria percibidas por personas transexuales y profesionales sociales y sanitarios.

Resultados

Tras la búsqueda en las bases de datos analizadas se encontraron 2.261 artículos, de los cuales 7 cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. Los profesionales destacan su incertidumbre a la hora de atender a personas transexuales, así como la falta de formación. Las personas transexuales destacan la falta de información que les genera sentimientos de impotencia. Además, la percepción de transfobia, la fragmentación de los servicios, las barreras administrativas y la falta de sensibilidad cultural y conocimientos de los profesionales son consideradas barreras para la atención.

Discusión

Los resultados encontrados aportan una información clave para el diseño de planes y programas dirigidos a mejorar la calidad de la asistencia en este colectivo.
