Abstract:
According to several recent studies, physicians in various medical branches have some differences in attitudes towards transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) persons based on religious or political beliefs. Our study aims to uncover the attitudes of the general physician community in Turkey, which has a youthful profile, regarding TGD individuals. The attitudes towards transgender individuals scale (ATTI) and the general conservatism scale, along with a form that asks about socio-demographic factors, political beliefs, and level of religion, were administered online to physicians. The ATTI score of physicians (mean = 77.8) is favourable and did not vary among branches. Being female, being close to TGD, having left-wing views, low conservatism and low religious belief scores were associated with positive attitudes towards TGD individuals. The physician profile\'s moderate religious belief and left-wing views can be interpreted as a country-specific dynamic and did not prevent the approach from being positive. Despite physicians\' positive attitude towards TGD individuals on a professional level, there is resistance to contacting them in their daily lives. The possibility of the partial contribution of socially desirable response behaviour to positive scores should not be ignored.
摘要:
根据最近的几项研究,各个医学部门的医生对基于宗教或政治信仰的跨性别和性别多样化(TGD)人的态度存在一些差异。我们的研究旨在揭示土耳其普通医生社区的态度,有一个年轻的个人资料,关于TGD个人。对跨性别个体的态度量表(ATTI)和一般保守主义量表,还有一个询问社会人口因素的表格,政治信仰,和宗教水平,在线管理医生。医生的ATTI评分(平均值=77.8)是有利的,并且在各个分支之间没有差异。作为女性,靠近TGD,有左翼视野,低保守主义和低宗教信仰分数与对TGD个人的积极态度有关。医生简介的温和的宗教信仰和左翼观点可以解释为特定国家的动态,并没有阻止这种方法是积极的。尽管医生在专业水平上对TGD个人持积极态度,在日常生活中与他们联系存在阻力。不应忽视社会期望的反应行为对积极得分的部分贡献的可能性。
