Abstract
SILVA-SANCHEZ, Camilo Andrés and CHEPO-CHEPO, Macarena. Structural stigma in sexual minorities: concept analysis using Walker and Avant's methodology. Ene. [online]. 2022, vol.16, n.3, 1422. Epub Mar 13, 2023. ISSN 1988-348X.
Introduction:
The presence of diverse conceptualizations of stigma impedes the establishment of relationships between this concept and health outcomes. Concept analysis is a useful nursing strategy to facilitate understanding terms and their attributes.
Objective:
To analyze the concept of structural stigma in sexual minorities.
Methodology:
The eight-step methodology proposed by Walker & Avant was used.
Results:
Definitions of stigma, related concepts (interpersonal stigma and structural racism), attributes, cases, consequences of the concept and empirical references are reviewed.
Conclusions:
The conceptualization of stigma allows identifying opportunities to reduce health inequities among sexual minorities.
Keywords : Stigma; structural stigma; sexual and gender minorities; concept analysis.
