SOUZA BARBOSA, Ana Lilia et al. Social representations of transvestite sex workers regarding quality of life. Enferm. glob. [online]. 2021, vol.20, n.64, pp.131-169. Epub 25-Out-2021. ISSN 1695-6141. https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/eglobal.462441.
Objective:
to identify the social representations of transvestite sex professionals regarding quality of life.
Material and Method:
a qualitative, descriptive, exploratory study, anchored in the Theory of Social Representations, developed with seven professional transvestites of sex. The data production was carried out with semi-structured interviews and later transcribed, validated and analyzed from the Thematic Content Analysis.
Results:
three categories emerged: 1) Access to health as a principle to quality of life; 2) Support of non-governmental organizations in the visibility and respect to the demands of the trans population and 3) Social ties as a propositional tool in the meaning of quality of life.
Final considerations:
the representations are located in the need to access health services free of prejudice; in the support of non-governmental organizations in the recognition of their potentialities and singularities, establishing affective bonds of support, loyalty and trust; and in the establishment of social bonds produced with neighbors and friends to face the difficulties experienced daily.
