ABSTRACT

Antecedentes y objetivo: La elevada demanda asistencial sanitaria realizada por las personas trans en los últimos años ha dirigido el foco de la investigación hacia el estudio de sus aspectos clínicos y sociodemográficos. Este trabajo tuvo por objetivo comparar y analizar algunas variables sociodemográficas en personas trans en 2 períodos temporales: el período de inicio de funcionamiento de la unidad y el período más reciente. Materiales y método: Se comparó una muestra de 131 usuarios que asistió a la Unidad de Tratamiento de Identidad de Género del Principado de Asturias (UTIGPA) entre 2015-2019, con una muestra de 33 que acudió entre 2007-2009. Los datos se extrajeron de historias clínicas. Resultados: Respecto al período 2007-2009 entre 2015-2019 la ratio se invierte a favor de los hombres trans (HT). Los usuarios de ambos géneros solicitan consulta a edades más tempranas (especialmente los HT), provienen menos del extranjero, alcanzan una mayor cualificación educativa y laboral, presentan menos paro y solicitan más el cambio registral; y aunque las mujeres trans (MT) continúan siendo las que, mayoritariamente, se dedican a la prostitución y se autohormonan, en este período más reciente lo reportan menos y, además, conviven más acompañadas. Conclusiones: Se observan cambios en las variables sociodemográficas de los usuarios de la UTIGPA entre 2007-2009 y 2015-2019, en dirección a una mayor inclusión. No obstante, las condiciones sociodemográficas de las MT siguen en desventaja en comparación con las de los HT. (AU)


Background and objective: The high demand of assistance made by trans people in recent years has directed the focus of research towards the study of their clinical and sociodemographic aspects. The objective of this work was to compare and analyze some sociodemographic variables in trans people in two periods: the period when the unit began to operate and the most recent period. Materials and method: A sample of 131 users who attended the Gender Identity Treatment Unit of the Principality of Asturias (UTIGPA) between 2015-2019 was compared with a sample of 33 who attended between 2007-2009. Data were extracted from medical records. Results: Regarding 2007-2009, in 2015-2019 the ratio is inverted in favor of Trans Men (TM). Users of both genders request consultation at an earlier age (specially TM), come less from abroad, achieve higher educational and work qualifications, are less unemployed and request more name changes. And, although Trans Women (TW) continue to be those who are mostly engaged in prostitution and self-administration of hormones, in the most recent period they report it less and, furthermore, they live more accompanied tan in the past. Conclusions: Changes are observed in the sociodemographic variables of UTIGPA users between 2007-2009 and 2015-2019, in the direction of a greater inclusion. However, the sociodemographic conditions of the TW are still at a disadvantage in comparison to those of the TM. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Antecedentes y objetivo: El objetivo del presente estudio es investigar las características contextuales de la aparición de la disforia de género (DG) en menores trans.Materiales y método: Participaron todos los menores de edad que solicitaron consulta en la Unidad de Tratamiento de Identidad de Género desde marzo de 2007 hasta junio de 2019. Se procedió a la revisión de historias clínicas para la obtención de los datos. Se garantizó la confidencialidad.Resultados: Demandaron atención 64 menores, el 39,1% eran mujeres trans (MT) y el 60,9% hombres trans (HT). El rango de edad estuvo comprendido entre los 6 y los 17 años, con una media de 14,98. El 75% de los menores trans ubicaron el inicio de la DG en la infancia y el 25% en la adolescencia. La reacción de los progenitores fue de sospecha en un 55,6% de los casos y de sorpresa en un 36,5%. El 55,6% presentaron malestar psicológico importante previamente a acudir a la unidad.El apoyo familiar estuvo presente en el 57,1%. El papel de las redes sociales e Internet fue relevante para el 39,7% de la muestra. Tenían pertenencia o contacto con grupos de pares o asociaciones LGTBIQ el 44,4% de los menores. Se analizaron los resultados en función del género sentido.Conclusiones: Los menores continúan demandando atención en las unidades, sobre todo las MT. Aunque la DG aparece en ambos grupos fundamentalmente en la infancia, en la adolescencia es más frecuente en los HT. Los menores trans nacen, se desarrollan y construyen su identidad en un contexto determinado que está en interacción. (AU)


Background and objective: The objective of the present study is to investigate the contextual characteristics of the onset of gender dysphoria (GD) in trans minors.Materials and method: All minors who requested consultation in the Gender Identity Treatment Unit from March 2007 to June 2019 participated. Clinical histories were reviewed to obtain the information. Confidentiality was guaranteed.Results: Sixty-four minors required care, 39.1% were trans women (TW) and 60.9% trans men (TM). The age range was between 6-17 years, with a mean of 14.98. Seventy-five percent of the trans minors located the onset of DG in childhood and 25% in adolescence. Parental reaction was suspicious in 55.6% of cases and surprise in 36.5%; 55.6% presented significant psychological distress before going to the unit.Family support was present in 57.1%. The role of social networks and the Internet was relevant for 39.7% of the sample. Of the minors, 44.4% had membership or contact with peer groups or LGTBIQ associations. Results were analysed according to sense of gender.Conclusions: Minors continue to require care in the units, especially TW. Although GD onset in both groups is mainly in childhood, in adolescence it is more frequent in TM. Trans minors are born, develop and build their identity in a specific context, which is in interaction. (AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To ensure the efficiency of the operation of the Emergency Department, specific mental health studies are needed. The purpose of the study was to identify and quantify the sociodemographic, clinical and organizational factors associated with the hyperfrequency of hospital Mental Health emergency departments in the three central areas of Asturias. METHODS: A retrospective case-control study was carried out. A total of 110 hyperfrequenters were recorded in 2017, based on a definition of five or more visits to the emergency department. The control group was composed of 170 subjects who attended on one occasion. In addition to descriptive analysis, Chi-square and ANOVA tests were used to identify differences between the two groups. A multivariate study was also carried out using binomial logistic regression. RESULTS: Hyperfrequent users were more likely to be young adult (30-44 years old), single, living with their family of origin, and with no jobs. The most prevalent diagnoses for these users were "Personality and Behavior Disorder" (F60-69) and "Schizophrenia, Schizotypal Disorders and Delusional Disorders" (F20-29). The most frequent reason for consultation was "anxiety/depression/somatization symptoms". The destination of the most frequent emergency was "Continue follow-up at scheduled appointments" and most consultations were made in the morning and on weekdays. CONCLUSIONS: Hyperfrequent users continue to demand attention despite being assigned one or more devices. Knowing their needs would help to improve healthcare and use resources more efficiently and effectively.


OBJETIVO: Para garantizar la eficiencia del funcionamiento del Servicio de Urgencias es necesario realizar estudios específicos de Salud Mental. El propósito del estudio fue identificar y cuantificar los factores sociodemográficos, clínicos y organizativos asociados con la hiperfrecuentación de las Urgencias Hospitalarias del Servicio de Salud Mental de las tres áreas sanitarias centrales de Asturias. METODOS: Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo de tipo casos-controles. Se registraron 110 hiperfrecuentadores en el año 2017, basándonos en una definición de cinco o más visitas al servicio de Urgencias. El grupo control lo compusieron 170 sujetos que acudieron en una sola ocasión. Además del análisis descriptivo, se utilizaron las pruebas Chi cuadrado y ANOVA para identificar diferencias entre ambos grupos. También se realizó un estudio multivariado mediante regresión logística binomial. RESULTADOS: Los usuarios hiperfrecuentadores eran más probablemente adultos jóvenes (30-44 años), solteros, convivientes con la familia de origen e inactivos laboralmente. Los diagnósticos más prevalentes para estos usuarios eran: "Trastorno de la personalidad y el comportamiento" (F60-69) y "Esquizofrenia, trastornos esquizotípicos y trastornos delirantes" (F20-29). El motivo de consulta más frecuente era "Síntomas de ansiedad/depresión/somatizaciones". El destino de la urgencia más frecuente fue "Continuar seguimiento en citas programadas" y la mayor parte de las consultas se realizaron en horario de mañana y en días laborables. CONCLUSIONES: Los usuarios hiperfrecuentadores continúan demandando atención a pesar de tener asignados uno o varios dispositivos de la red de salud mental. Conocer sus necesidades ayudaría a mejorar la atención sanitaria y a utilizar los recursos de manera más eficiente y eficaz.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Demand from minors with complaints of gender dysphoria has increased in recent years. This increase has been more pronounced in adolescent trans men in some international research studies. The first objective of this research study was to determine the sex/gender ratio of minors requesting a consultation in the Gender Identity Treatment Unit of the Principality of Asturias (UTIGPA) and presenting complaints of gender dysphoria. The second objective was to analyse the relationship of the sex/gender ratio with the age variable at which they requested the first consultation and the year in which they requested it. MATERIALS AND METHOD: The sample consisted of 42 children under 18, attended between January 2016 and January 2019. The medical records were then reviewed to obtain information. Descriptive statistics were analysed with the collected data. RESULTS: The sex / gender ratio over the period was 2/1 in favour of trans men. The average age at the request for consultation was 15.02 years (SD=1.84), with a range of 6 to 17 years. A higher percentage of applications was recorded (35.7%) in 2018, mostly made by trans men (93.3%). CONCLUSIONS: There was an inversion of the sex/gender ratio, a favour of trans men, over the last 3years, and an increase in the number of applications by adolescent trans men, coinciding with several international investigations.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The demand for treatment among people with gender dys-phoria has increased during the last years. The aim of the present research was to carry out an analysis of the demand of the teenagers that requested consultation at the UTIGPA (Gender Identity Treatment Unit of Principality of Asturias) as they presented complains of gender dysphoria. METHODS: The sample included 20 minors that were treated between March 2007 and December 2015. The clinical history was made to collect informa-tion. It was made descriptive analysis and the reason sex/gender was used. RESULTS: The 20 teenagers represented the 14,6% of the whole sample (of 137 demands). The age average was 15,20 years (SD=1,473) and the range of years was between 12-17. The reason sex/gender was 1/1 (10 into the man to woman group and 10 into the woman to man group). At the arrival at the Treatment Unit, 100% of the individuals lived with their nuclear or extended family and in the 60% of the cases, their parents were separated. 70% of the cases were referred from mental health services. 10% hadn´t got any past medical history and 35% had never received any prescription for a psychopharmacological treatment. 95% hadn't done any hormonal self-treatment. 100% defined themselves as heterosexual. 25% requested exclusively for psychological interventions and 75% asked for medical treatments. CONCLUSIONS: The profile of the minor was a teenager of approximately 15 years old that was referred from mental health services. Contrary to the fin-dings of other national and international researches, the rate sex/gender was equated in our research. The minor had got a past medical history and their prio-rity request was for medical treatments, both hormonal and surgical therapies.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos. En primer lugar, el objetivo es evaluar los rasgos psicopatológicos en personas con disforia de género y, en segundo lugar, establecer si existen diferencias entre los grupos de hombre a mujer y de mujer a hombre. Participantes y método. Se aplicó el Inventario clínico multiaxial de Millon (MCMI-II) a 32 sujetos con disforia de género, de los cuales 20 pertenecen al grupo de hombre a mujer y 12 al de mujer a hombre. Los participantes fueron seleccionados de forma intencional. Resultados. No se encuentran alteraciones psicopatológicas significativas. Las puntuaciones más elevadas se obtuvieron en los rasgos esquizoide, paranoide y delirante. Hay diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los grupos de hombre a mujer y de mujer a hombre en los patrones clínicos de la personalidad esquizoide (p = 0,012), compulsiva (p = 0,047) y autodestructiva (p = 0,040) y en el síndrome clínico de gravedad moderada abuso de alcohol (p = 0,000). Conclusiones. Las personas con disforia de género no se caracterizan por alteraciones psicopatológicas. Los rasgos con puntuaciones más elevadas se corresponden con los señalados en estudios anteriores. Se aprecian diferencias por grupos, aunque solo en determinadas escalas (AU)


Objectives. Firstly, the aim is to evaluate psychopathological traits in people with gender dysphoria, and secondly, to establish if there are differences between groups of male to female and female to male. Participants and method. The Millon clinical multiaxial inventory (MCMI-II) was applied to 32 subjects with gender dysphoria, of which 20 belong to the group of male to female and 12 to the group female to male. Participants were selected intentionally. Results. No significant psychopathological alterations are found. The highest scores were obtained in the schizoid, paranoid and delusional traits. There are statistically significant differences between the male to female and female to male in clinical patterns of schizoid (P=.012), compulsive (P=.047) and self-destructive personality (P=.040), and in moderate clinical syndrome, abuse of alcohol (P=.000). Conclusions. People with gender dysphoria are not characterized by psychopathological alterations. The traits with higher scores correspond with those pointed out in previous studies. Differences were appreciated between groups, but only in certain scales (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La cirugía bariátrica puede ser considerada como el tratamiento de elección para aquellos pacientes con obesidad mórbida que hayan sido adecuadamente seleccionados. Objetivo: El objetivo de esta investigación es valorar y analizar los cambios percibidos en la calidad de vida de una muestra de pacientes intervenidos. Método: La muestra se compone de 18 pacientes, 88,9% mujeres y 11,1% hombres. La media de edad es de 45,6 años. El 27,78% lleva intervenido dos años o menos; el 33,33% entre dos y cinco años y el 38,89% más de cinco años. La calidad de vida fue evaluada con el test Moorehead-Ardelt II. Resultados: El 72,2% de las personas consideran que su calidad de vida ha mejorado. Por dimensiones, la mayor ganancia se obtiene en relaciones sociales, seguida de actividad laboral, actividad física, autoestima y hábitos alimenticios; y la menor ganancia en relaciones sexuales. En los dos primeros años se obtienen los mejores resultados. A partir de los cinco años es la actividad física y la alimentación lo que más mejora, siendo las relaciones sexuales y la autoestima las áreas que más descienden con respecto a los dos primeros años de seguimiento. La pérdida de peso es similar tanto para la muestra total como cuando tenemos en cuenta los años que llevan intervenidos. Discusión y Conclusiones: La mayoría de los usuarios valora que su calidad de vida ha mejorado tras la intervención. Los cambios obtenidos en las distintas dimensiones a lo largo de los años de seguimiento no parecen estar relacionadas con el peso (AU)


Introduction: Bariatric surgery can be considered the elective procedure for treatment for those patients with morbid obesity that they should have been adequately selected. Aim. The aim of this study is to assess and to analyze perceived changes in the quality of life of a sample of operated patients. Methodology: The sample is composed by 18 patients, 88,9 % women and 11,1 % men. Mean age is 45,6 years. 27,78 % had surgery two years or less ago; 33,33 % between two and five years and 38,89 more of five years. The quality of life was assessed by the Moorehead-Ardelt II test. Results: 72,2 % of people perceive that their quality of life has improved. For dimensions, the biggest gain is obtained in social relationships, followed by work activity, physical well-being, self-esteem and eating habits; and the smallest gain in sexual relations. Best results are obtained in the first two years. From five years, it is the physical well-being, and the eating habits what more improve, being sexual relations and self-esteem the areas that more descend compared with the first two years of follow-up. The loss of weight is similar for the total sample as like when we consider the years ago they have operated. Discussion and Conclusions: Most users rate their quality of life has improved after surgery. The changes obtained in the different dimensions along the years of follow-up do not seem to be related to the weight (AU)
