■那些自称是女同性恋的人,同性恋,双性恋,变性人,酷儿,其他人(LGBTQ+)在青春期经历了自我探索和自我认同的过程,当一个人决定自我披露时,这个过程就会解决。“出来”(CO)的经历可能是积极的,导致接受和解放的感觉,或者它可能是有害的,导致耻辱,屈辱,歧视,随后导致严重的心理困扰。
■这项研究是对过去十年(2012-2022年)在青年中CO领域/主题中发表的研究进行叙述性回顾,并寻找作为障碍和促进因素的因素。此外,我们试图寻找LGBTQ+青少年和西方世界青年相对于印度/东方社会的CO差异。
■在电子数据库中进行广泛的文献检索,pubmed,WebofScience,EMBASE,Medline,Scopus,和搜索引擎\“谷歌学者\”使用特定的搜索词和评估所有发表的文章,直到2023年5月20日完成。
■发现有23项研究符合数据提取条件,讨论了CO工艺过程中面临的问题。大多数研究来自发达国家,只有一个来自印度。十一项是定性研究,11个是横断面研究,一个是案例研究。定性研究的重点是生成CO的主题以及参与者面临的各种问题/问题。横断面研究主要探讨父母的反应,污名,父母的支持,心理困扰,以及参与者的压力。定性研究中出现的主要主题是社会各阶层的偏见经历,比如父母,社会,种族,文化,以及导致隐藏问题的宗教因素,内化的同性恋恐惧症,和预期的拒绝使这个人口处于极端条件下。有限的研究可从东方社会获得。最近,新一代青少年利用社交媒体平台进行自我披露。
■CO是一个精心设计的多步骤过程,考虑到父母/家庭和社会支持的存在,文化/传统价值观,以及一些决定积极结果程度的社会心理因素。新兴数据表明,青少年决定向家庭或在线平台露面的趋势有所改善,两者都与挑战有关,更多的是在东方集体主义社会和发展中国家。
UNASSIGNED: People who identify themselves as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and others (LGBTQ+) go through a process of self-exploration and self-identification during adolescence, and the process resolves when one decides to self-disclosure. The experience of \'Coming Out\' (CO) can be positive, leading to acceptance and a feeling of liberation, or it can be harmful, leading to stigma, humiliation, and discrimination, subsequently leading to significant psychological distress.
UNASSIGNED: This study was to do a narrative
review on the studies published in the area/topic of CO in youth in the last decade (2012-2022) and to look for factors that act as barriers and facilitators of CO. Additionally, we have tried to look for differences in CO in LGBTQ+ adolescents and youth in the Western world vis-a-vis Indian/Eastern societies.
UNASSIGNED: An extensive literature search in electronic databases, PUBMED, Web of Science, EMBASE, Medline, Scopus, and search engine \'Google Scholar\' using specific search terms and assessment of all published articles until 20th May 2023 was done.
UNASSIGNED: Twenty-three studies were found eligible for data extraction, which discussed the problems faced during the CO process. Most of the studies are from developed countries, and only one is from India. Eleven were qualitative studies, 11 were cross-sectional studies, and one was a case study. The qualitative studies focused on generating themes of CO along with various issues/problems faced by the participants. The cross-sectional studies mainly explored parental reactions, stigma, parental support, psychological distress, and perceived stress in the participants. Major themes emerging from the qualitative studies were the experience of prejudice from various strata of society, such as parental, societal, racial, cultural, and religious factors that lead to problems of hiding, internalized homophobia, and anticipatory rejections that put this population under extreme conditions. Limited research is available from Eastern societies. More recently, the new generation of adolescents has taken the help of social media platforms for self-disclosure.
UNASSIGNED: CO is an elaborate multi-step process that considers the presence of parental/family and societal support, cultural/traditional values, and several psychosocial factors that determine the degree of positive outcomes. Emerging data indicated an improved trend of adolescents deciding to come out to families or in online platforms, both of which are associated with challenges, more in eastern collectivistic societies and developing countries.
