RESUMO

Despite a large literature consistently showing a relationship between higher levels of education and lower levels of ethnic prejudice, some points of contention remain. First, it remains unclear whether education has a causal effect on attitudes, mainly due to a lack of longitudinal studies. Second, due to the majority of studies on prejudice being conducted in Europe and North America, we do not know to what extent the inverse relationship between education and prejudice is generalizable beyond the "global North." To answer these questions, I study attitudes toward immigrants in Chile in the years 2016-2022, using six waves of the Chilean Longitudinal Social Survey. Chile provides new variations in economic and cultural factors, with its stable albeit highly unequal economy, and increased immigration from culturally similar countries which shed light on possible scope conditions of the so-called liberalizing effect of education. I analyze whether attaining more education has an effect on reducing levels of perceived economic and cultural threat. The findings show that increases in education are associated with both lower levels of perceived economic and cultural threat, with education having a stronger effect on the latter.

RESUMO

Scholarly research has consistently shown that teachers present negative assessments of and attitudes toward migrant students. However, previous studies have not clearly addressed the distinction between implicit and explicit prejudices, or identified their underlying sources. This study identifies the explicit and implicit prejudices held by elementary and middle school teachers regarding the learning abilities of an ethnic minority group: Haitian students within the Chilean educational system. We use a list experiment to assess how social desirability and intergroup attitudes toward minority students influence teachers' prejudices. The findings reveal that teachers harbor implicit prejudices towards Haitian students and are truthful in reporting their attitudes, thereby contradicting the desirability bias hypothesis. We suggest that teachers rely on stereotypes associated with the students' nationality when assessing Haitian students' learning abilities. The implications of these results are discussed in relation to theories grounded in stereotypes and intergroup attitudes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Hansen's disease is a chronic, infectious and transmissible disease that is considered a public health problem in Brazil. Hansen's disease is marked by stigma and prejudice, because it carries with it a strong negative social image, reinforced by policies of social isolation in the community. METHODS: A qualitative study was conducted in Ribeirão Preto, an inland city of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Eleven patients under treatment for the disease were interviewed. The interviews were audio recorded and transcribed in full, then were analyzed through the stages of transcription, transposition and reconstitution, as informed by concepts proposed by Goffman. RESULTS: The results showed that the marks of stigma are still present in the twenty-first century and were presented in two axes: 'Stigma and work for the person affected by Hansen's disease' and 'The experience of stigma in the family'. The participants refer to fears of losing their jobs and of being ridiculed, which stops them talking about the disease. Regarding their families, the participants reported episodes of discrimination, the creation of family secrets and fear of relatives' reactions. CONCLUSIONS: All these aspects interfere in the follow-up and treatment of patients and need to be considered and welcomed by health professionals. It is recommended that these aspects are addressed in the initial training and continuing education of health professionals. CONTEXTE: La maladie de Hansen est une maladie chronique, infectieuse et transmissible, considérée comme un problème de santé publique au Brésil. La maladie de Hansen est marquée par la stigmatisation et les préjugés, car elle véhicule une image sociale fortement négative, renforcée par des politiques d'isolement social au sein de la communauté. MÉTHODES: Étude qualitative menée à Ribeirão Preto, une ville intérieure de l'État de São Paulo, au Brésil. Onze patients traités pour la maladie ont été interrogés. Les entretiens ont été enregistrés et transcrits intégralement, et ont été analysés en suivant les étapes de transcription, de transposition et de reconstitution, selon les concepts proposés par Goffman. RÉSULTATS: Les résultats montrent que les marques de la stigmatisation sont toujours présentes au 21ème siècle et ont été présentées selon deux axes : 'La stigmatisation et le travail pour la personne affectée par la maladie de Hansen' et 'L'expérience de la stigmatisation dans la famille'. Les participants évoquent la peur de perdre leur emploi, la peur d'être ridiculisés, ce qui les pousse à ne pas parler de la maladie. En ce qui concerne les familles, les participants ont rapporté des épisodes de discrimination, la création de secrets de famille et la peur des réactions des proches. CONCLUSIONS: Tous ces aspects interfèrent dans le suivi et le traitement des patients et doivent être pris en compte et accueillis par les professionnels de la santé. Il est recommandé que ces aspects soient abordés dans la formation initiale et la formation continue des professionnels de la santé. ANTECEDENTES: La enfermedad de Hansen es una enfermedad crónica, infecciosa y transmisible, considerada un problema de salud pública en Brasil. La enfermedad de Hansen está marcada por el estigma y el prejuicio, ya que conlleva una fuerte imagen social negativa, reforzada por políticas de aislamiento social en la comunidad. MÉTODOS: Estudio cualitativo realizado en Ribeirão Preto, una ciudad del interior del estado de São Paulo, Brasil. Se entrevistaron a once pacientes en tratamiento para la enfermedad. Las entrevistas fueron grabadas en audio, transcritas en su totalidad y analizadas a través de etapas de transcripción, transposición y reconstitución, según los conceptos propuestos por Goffman. RESULTADOS: Los resultados muestran que las marcas del estigma siguen presentes en el siglo XXI y se presentaron en dos ejes: 'Estigma y trabajo para la persona afectada por la enfermedad de Hansen' y 'La experiencia del estigma en la familia'. Los participantes mencionan el miedo a perder sus trabajos, el temor a ser ridiculizados, lo que les impide comentar sobre la enfermedad. En cuanto a las familias, los participantes reportaron episodios de discriminación, la creación de secretos familiares y el miedo a las reacciones de los familiares. CONCLUSIONES: Todos estos aspectos interfieren en el seguimiento y tratamiento de los pacientes y deben ser considerados y acogidos por los profesionales sanitarios. Se recomienda abordar estos aspectos en la formación inicial y la educación continua de los profesionales sanitarios.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To clarify if stigma associated with schizophrenia has also been directed towards the ultra-high risk for psychosis (UHR) population, the present review aimed at synthetizing the existing literature to update and extend our understanding on the topic. METHODS: A systematic PRISMA-compliant review was performed in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane and Web of Science for articles published until 30/04/2023, using a combination of search terms describing the at-risk mental states for psychosis and stigma and correlated terms. RESULTS: Thirty-eight studies were included. Twenty-nine addressed UHR individuals directly, and 9 conducted interviews with non-patients regarding UHR. A total of 2560 UHR individuals were assessed; mean sample size was of 88.3 participants. Most of the studies were quantitative non-randomized/observational with young adults, 71.4% used SIPS (Structured Interview for Psychosis-risk Syndromes) and 25.0% used CAARMS (Comprehensive Assessment of At-Risk Mental States). Overall, the summarized studies have mainly involved individuals already attending UHR clinics from Western and high income countries. Studies can be grouped into five forms of stigma, among which the most frequently explored was perceived public stigma, followed by public stigma, self-stigma/internalized stigma, stigma stress and associative stigma. The main study design was quantitative nonrandomized, with only one interventional study. Most of the results confirmed the presence of stigma toward UHR individuals and findings provide additional support to the fact that stigma seems to be present since the very early stages of the disease. CONCLUSION: There is still a paucity of research and knowledge gaps about UHR-related stigma. Nevertheless, results suggest the presence of stigma toward UHR individuals, supporting the fact that stigma is present since the early stages of psychosis.

RESUMO

Objective: To determine whether the stigma associated with schizophrenia has also been directed towards people at ultra-high risk of psychosis (UHR), the present review aimed to synthetize the literature to update and extend our understanding of this topic. Methods: A systematic review compliant with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines was conducted in the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases for articles published until April 30, 2023, using a combination of search terms describing at-risk mental states for psychosis, stigma, and related terms. Results: Thirty-eight studies were included. Twenty-nine addressed individuals with UHR directly, and nine conducted interviews with non-patients regarding UHR. A total of 2,560 individuals with UHR were assessed, with a mean sample size of 88.3 participants. Most were quantitative non-randomized/observational studies with young adults, 71.4% used the Structured Interview for Psychosis-Risk Syndromes, and 25% used the Comprehensive Assessment of At-Risk Mental States. Overall, the studies mainly involved patients of UHR clinics from high-income Western countries. The described stigma can be grouped into five forms, the most frequently explored of which was perceived public stigma, followed by public stigma, self-stigma/internalized stigma, stigma stress, and associative stigma. Quantitative nonrandomized studies predominated: only one was an interventional study. Most of the results confirmed the presence of stigma toward individuals with UHR. Conclusion: Despite the knowledge gaps and scarcity of research on UHR-related stigma, the results suggest that stigma toward people with UHR exists and that it is already present at early stages of psychosis.

RESUMO

Abstract This article analyses four classic intra-individual theories in social psychology: Authoritarian Personality, Closed Mind Hypothesis, Social Dominance, and Aversive Racism. The article aims to answer three questions: (1) how classical and modern theories of psychology have explained racism over the years; (2) to what extent such theories have been used to understand racism/racial prejudice in Brazil; and (3) what are the possibilities and limitations of their use? The methodology consisted of describing the postulates of the theories, searching CAPES-Periódicos for their frequency and type of use, and analysing their potential to 'fit' or 'not fit' for understanding racism in Brazil. The results found suggest that they are rarely used, could be employed to analyse Brazilian racism, and can make important contributions to broadening the debate and understanding of the phenomenon, with the necessary contextual adjustments. These findings are discussed based on the social psychology of racism.

Resumo São analisadas quatro teorias intraindividuais clássicas da psicologia social: Personalidade Autoritária, Hipótese do Espírito Fechado, Dominância Social e Racismo Aversivo. O objetivo é responder a três questões: (1) como, ao longo dos anos, teorias clássicas e modernas da psicologia têm explicado o racismo; (2) em que medida tais teorias foram utilizadas para o entendimento do racismo/preconceito racial no Brasil e (3) quais são as potencialidades e as limitações na sua utilização. A metodologia consistiu em descrever os postulados das teorias; buscar nos Periódicos-Capes sua frequência e tipo de uso e analisar seus potenciais de "encaixe" ou "desencaixe" para o entendimento do racismo nacional. Os resultados indicaram que as teorias foram pouco aproveitadas, que possuem poder de leitura do racismo nacional e que, com as necessárias adaptações contextuais, podem trazer importantes contribuições para ampliar o debate e entendimento do fenômeno. Tais achados são discutidos à luz da psicologia social do racismo.

Resumen En este artículo se analizan cuatro teorías intraindividuales clásicas de la psicología social: personalidad autoritaria, mente cerrada, dominancia social y racismo aversivo. Su propósito es responder a tres preguntas: (1) cómo, a lo largo de los años, las teorías clásicas y modernas de la psicología han explicado el racismo; (2) en qué medida se utilizaron tales teorías para comprender el racismo/prejuicio racial en Brasil; y (3) cuáles son las potencialidades y limitaciones de su uso. La metodología consistió en describir los postulados de las teorías; buscar en Periódicos Capes su frecuencia y tipo de uso; y analizar su potencial de "acoplamiento" y "desacoplamiento" para la comprensión del racismo brasileño. Los resultados indicaron que las teorías no fueron muy bien utilizadas, que tienen un potencial de lectura del racismo nacional y que, con las necesarias adaptaciones contextuales, pueden aportar importantes contribuciones para ampliar el debate y la comprensión del fenómeno. Estos hallazgos se discuten desde la psicología social del racismo.

RESUMO

ntrodução: Os jogos eletrônicos são agora reconhecidos como um problema de saúde mental, especialmente entre a comunidade LGBTQIA+. Objetivo: explorar os efeitos do transtorno de jogo (gaming disorder) na população LGBTQIA+. Método: A revisão narrativa abordou hábitos de jogo e gaming disorder em minorias sexuais e de gênero, usando PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase e Web of Science. Das 1640 pesquisas, apenas 3 abordaram gaming disorder nessa população. Resultado: consumidores LGBTQ+ gastam mais em jogos digitais. Jogadores LGBTQIA+ consomem mais jogos de exploração de identidade, possivelmente relacionados ao estresse de minoria. Discussão: minorias sexuais têm maior risco de gaming disorder. Para indivíduos LGBTQIA+, os jogos podem servir como escape e plataforma de apoio, mas o uso problemático pode estar associado a desfechos psiquiátricos negativos. Conclusão: Os jogos online têm o potencial de serem ferramentas de apoio para minorias, no entanto, as evidências são limitadas. É necessária mais pesquisa para compreender melhor a relação entre o uso de jogos e a saúde mental da população LGBTQIA+.

ntroduction: Electronic games are now recognized as a mental health issue, especially within the LGBTQIA+ community. Objective: To explore the effects of gaming disorder in the LGBTQIA+ population. Method: The narrative review addressed gaming habits and gaming disorder in sexual and gender minorities, utilizing PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase, and Web of Science. Out of 1640 studies, only 3 focused on gaming disorder in this population. Result: LGBTQ+ consumers spend more on digital games. LGBTQIA+ players engage more in identity exploration games, possibly linked to minority stress. Discussion: Sexual minorities face a higher risk of gaming disorder. For LGBTQIA+ individuals, games can serve as an escape and support platform, but problematic use may be associated with negative psychiatric outcomes. Conclusion: Online games have the potential as support tools for minorities, but evidence is limited. Further research is needed to better understand the relationship between game use and mental health in the LGBTQIA+ population.

RESUMO

O modelo do Estresse de Minoria (EM) propõe uma explicação de como estressores relacionados ao preconceito levam pessoas lésbicas, gays e bissexuais (LGB) a terem piores desfechos negativos de saúde mental do que pessoas heterossexuais. Os componentes básicos do EM são o preconceito internalizado, preconceito antecipado e preconceito experienciado. O modelo do EM foi desenvolvido primeiramente no campo da sexualidade e hoje tem sido também aplicado no contexto da diversidade de gênero. Ainda não há instrumentos adaptados para sua avaliação no contexto da diversidade de gênero no Brasil. Para esse fim, este estudo objetiva a adaptação transcultural e a investigação de evidências de validade para o contexto brasileiro do "Protocolo para Avaliação do EM em pessoas trans e diversidade de gênero" (PEM-TD-BR). Participaram 455 indivíduos cuja identidade de gênero discordava daquela designada ao nascimento. As análises fatoriais exploratórias e confirmatórias sugerem a estrutura de três fatores do PEM-TD-BR como a mais adequada, fornecendo evidências de validade e fidedignidade para o protocolo no contexto brasileiro.

The Minority Stress (MS) model explains how prejudice-related stressors lead lesbian, gay, and bisexual people (LGB) to have worse negative mental health outcomes compared to heterosexuals. The basic components of MS are internalized prejudice, anticipated prejudice, and experienced prejudice. MS model was first developed in the field of sexuality and is now also applied in the context of gender diversity. There are still no adapted tools for its assessment in the context of gender diversity in Brazil. To this end, this study aims at the cross-cultural adaptation and production of validity evidence for the Brazilian context of a protocol for the "assessment of MS in transgender and gender diverse people" (PEM-TD-BR). It included 455 participants whose current gender identity disagreed with that assigned at birth. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyzes suggest the three-factor structure of the PEM-TD-BR as the most appropriate and provide evidence for the validity and reliability for the protocol in the Brazilian context.

RESUMO

Mulheres cisgênero lésbicas são confrontadas em seu cotidiano com situações de dupla violência, relacionadas à desqualificação e desvalor atribuídos tanto ao gênero como à orientação sexual. Este estudo teve por objetivo compreender os significados atribuídos às experiências de preconceito e discriminação sofridas por mulheres lésbicas de camadas médias. Trata-se de um estudo clínico-qualitativo fundamentado no olhar interseccional dos estudos de gênero. Participaram seis mulheres brancas de 22 a 59 anos de camadas médias, que se autoidentificavam como lésbicas. Para construção do corpus de análise foram realizadas entrevistas individuais gravadas em áudio. Os dados foram analisados e discutidos na perspectiva da análise temática reflexiva. Foram construídas cinco categorias: ambiente de trabalho, família de origem, relações de amizade, serviços de saúde e pessoas desconhecidas. Os resultados mostram que pessoas que perpetram violência contra lésbicas não toleram a possibilidade de que duas mulheres possam manter relacionamento afetivo-sexual e se utilizam de estratégias de apagamento (insultos, deboche, desrespeito, indiferença) para depreciá-las, invisibilizá-las e discriminá-las. Os ataques recorrentes às lesbianidades têm como função manter a hegemonia do modelo heterocentrado. Examinar os significados atribuídos às experiências de preconceito e discriminação sofridas por mulheres lésbicas pode encorajar o desenvolvimento de intervenções culturalmente sensíveis e a efetivação de políticas públicas voltadas a essa população.

Cisgender lesbian women face situations of double violence in their daily lives with situations of double violence, related to the disqualification and devaluation attributed to both gender and sexual orientation. This study aimed to understand the meanings attributed to middle-class lesbian women's experiences of prejudice and discrimination. This is a clinical qualitative study based on the intersectional look of gender studies. Six white, middle-class women ages 22 to 59, who self-identified as lesbians, participated. Individual interviews were conducted and recorded to create the analysis corpus. The data were analyzed and discussed from the perspective of reflective thematic analysis. Five categories were constructed: work environment, family of origin, friendship relations, health services, and unknown people. The results show that people who perpetrate violence against lesbians do not tolerate the possibility that two women can have an affective-sexual relationship and use erasure strategies (insults, debauchery, disrespect, indifference) to depreciate, invisibilize them, and discriminate against them. The recurrent attacks on lesbianities have the function of maintaining the hegemony of the heterocentric model. Examining the meanings attributed to the experiences of prejudice and discrimination suffered by lesbian women can encourage the development of culturally sensitive interventions and public policies targeting this population.

RESUMO

Resumo Na população idosa, pessoas LGBTQIA+ representam um dos grupos mais propensos a depender de serviços de cuidados formais, devido à vulnerabilidade socioeconômica. Contudo, o preconceito enraizado na sociedade, inclusive em profissionais da saúde e da assistência social, resulta em um modelo de atendimento cis-heteronormativo em Instituições de Longa Permanência para Idosos (ILPI). O objetivo deste artigo é investigar, descrever e analisar a produção científica sobre o preconceito contra pessoas idosas LGBTQIA+ em ILPI. Revisão de escopo com buscas nas bases de dados AgeLine, Portal de Periódicos CAPES, SciELO, Portal USP e HeinOnline, sem limite temporal. Dos 642 artigos iniciais, 31 compõem a amostra final. Foram identificadas quatro categorias e 11 subcategorias que delimitam atores, causas, efeitos e soluções encontradas nas pesquisas. A falta de preparo das equipes das ILPI e o histórico de preconceito durante a vida leva a comunidade LGBTQIA+ a temer a institucionalização e desejar um ambiente amigável ou exclusivo. A capacitação das equipes das ILPI torna-se imprescindível, assim como a necessidade de criação de legislações de proteção a essa população com base em pesquisas populacionais e locais.

Abstract Among older people, LGBTQIA+ persons represent one of the groups most likely to depend on formal care services because of socio-economic vulnerability. However, the prejudice rooted in society, including health and social care professionals, result in a cis-heteronormative model of care delivery in Long-Term Care Facilities for older persons (LTC). The aim of this article is to investigate, describe and analyse the scientific production on prejudice against the older LGBTQIA+ population in LTC. Scoping review based on searches in the following databases: AgeLine, Portal de Periódicos CAPES, SciELO, Portal USP and HeinOnline. No time limit was set. Of the initial 642 articles, 31 were selected to comprise the sample. Four categories and 11 subcategories were identified. These covered agents, causes, effects, and solutions found in the research. The lack of preparation of the LTC staff and the history of prejudice during life leads the LGBTQIA+ community to fear institutionalisation, when the desire is to have a friendly or exclusive environment. Training of LTC staff is essential, in addition to the need to create legislation to protect this population based on local surveys.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT Introduction: The perception of prejudice against, and stigmatization of, sickle cell disease (SCD) leads the patient to perceive a different treatment, due to the disease stigma and maybe related to a worse quality of life (QoL). Objectives: Describe and evaluate the perception of the prejudice against the disease and its impact on the quality of life of patients with sickle cell disease. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted between March 2019 and February 2020, with patients diagnosed with SCD. Patients were questioned about the perception of prejudice in any kind of situation, choosing between "Yes" or "No", not differentiating situations related to prejudice. To assess the QoL and impact of the disease, the volunteers answered a version of the SF-36 questionnaire translated and validated into Brazilian Portuguese. Results: In this study, 113 patients with SCD were followed up, 92% were classified as HbSS and the rest, divided between HbSC and HbS-β-0. Regarding the SF-36, the worst scores were in the summary of the physical components (mean 48.19 ± 21.51) and the physical aspect had the lowest mean (30.75 ± €42.65). When questioned if they had already perceived any kind of prejudice, including the SCD, 32.74% answered "Yes". For this comparison, there was a significant difference in the summary of the physical and mental components, with worse QoL for those who had already suffered prejudice. Conclusion: Patients diagnosed with SCD who reported perception of prejudice had statistically significant worse QoL, revealing the negative impact, that might lead to sadness and social isolation.

RESUMO

Even though prejudice towards Bolivian immigrants is one of the main reasons for discrimination in Argentina, there is no valid measure to assess it. The aim of this study was to explore the psychometric properties of the subtle and blatant prejudice towards Bolivian immigrants scale. In addition, we tested correlations with right-wing authoritarianism, social dominance orientation, feelings towards Bolivian immigrants, and ideological self-placement. Data was collected through a convenience sample of 431 undergraduate students from Buenos Aires, with an age range from 18 to 45 years old (38.75% men and 61.25% women). Results showed adequate psychometric properties for the scale. Moreover, significant correlations between subtle and blatant prejudice and the other psychosocial variables tested were found. Implications of these findings are discussed.

RESUMO

Abstract. Objetive. Attributional theory has been widely studied to understand the overall perceptions regarding people suffering from negative events such as an HIV infection. The aim of the present study is to test the overall attribution model and its influence on the willingness to help, considering emotional reactions related to an HIV-infected individual. Method. We used a Bayesian network to analyze the association between attributions of causality (blame, responsibility, and control), willingness to help, and emotional reactions (anger and sympathy) toward an HIV-infected patient. Three hundred and fifty-eight individuals participated in the study. Results. Using the overall model, we found two different results: Anger contributed to the cognitive processes of attribution, and sympathy contributed to the behavioral willingness to help the patient.

Resumo. Objetivo. A teoria de atribuição de causalidade tem sido amplamente estudada para compreender percepções a respeito de pessoas que sofrem o impacto de eventos negativos em saúde como uma infecção por HIV. O objetivo deste estudo é testar o modelo de atribuição e seu impacto em intenção de ajudar, considerando as reações emocionais direcionadas à um indivíduo que vive com HIV. Método. Utilizamos um panorama bayesiano para analisar a associação entre atribuições de causalidade (culpa, responsabilidade e controle), intenção de ajudar e reações emocionais (raiva e simpatia) no que diz respeito a um paciente com HIV. Trezentos e cinquenta e oito indivíduos participaram deste estudo. Resultados. A partir do modelo utilizado, encontramos dois resultados diferentes: raiva contribuiu ao processo cognitivo de atribuição e a emoção simpatia contribuiu ao processo comportamental de intenção de ajudar.

RESUMO

Racial socioeconomic gaps are widened in periods of economic recession. Besides social and institutional factors, black people also struggle with many psychological factors. The literature reports racial-biased complex behaviors and high-level processes that are influenced by economic scarcity. A previous study found a bias at the perceptual level: an experimental manipulation of scarcity (a subliminal priming paradigm) lowered the black-white race categorization threshold. Here we present a conceptual replication in a higher ecological setup. In our main analysis we compared the categorization threshold of participants that received the Brazilian government's emergency economic aid in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic (n = 136) and participants that did not receive the economic aid (n = 135) in an online psychophysical task that presented faces in a black-white race continuum. Additionally, we analyzed the economic impact of COVID-19 on household income, and in cases of family unemployment. Our results do not support the claim that perception of race is influenced by economic scarcity. Interestingly, we found that when people differ greatly in terms of racial prejudice, they encode visual information related to race differently. People with higher scores on a prejudice scale needed more phenotypic traits of the black race to categorize a face as black. We discuss the results in terms of differences in method and sample.

RESUMO

Objetivo: Compreender a vivência do autopreconceito e do preconceito social no cotidiano de pessoas com lesão medular e de suas famílias. Métodos: Estudo interpretativo, qualitativo, desenvolvido com 21 participantes (12 pessoas com lesão medular e 9 familiares), de um Centro Especializado de Reabilitação no sul do Brasil, cujas fontes de evidências foram entrevistas individual e duas oficinas que corroboram para validação dos dados. Para o agrupamento e organização dos dados, utilizou-se o software Atlas.ti e a análise dos dados envolveu: análise preliminar, ordenação, ligações-chaves, codificação e categorização, guiada pelo olhar da Sociologia Compreensiva e do Quotidiano. Resultados: Evidencia o autopreconceito: marcas no corpo e na alma, cadeira de rodas e a percepção negativa da doença, do declínio à reconstrução da autoimagem; preconceito nas mais diversas dimensões: familiar e social. Conclusão: O autopreconceito influencia negativamente a autoimagem, criando um mecanismo de defesa e de negação da condição de vivenciar a lesão medular. A família é determinante na transformação do quotidiano e da maneira como a pessoa convive e percebe a sua condição. Precisa-se de uma sensibilização para o olhar sobre pré-conceitos estabelecidos que implicam sobre a segregação de pessoas em sociedade. (AU)

Objective: To understand the experience of self-concept and social prejudice in the daily lives of people with spinal cord injury and their families. Methods: Interpretative, qualitative study, developed with 21 participants (12 people with spinal cord injury and 9 family members), of a Specialized Rehabilitation Center in southern Brazil, whose sources of evidence were individual interviews and two workshops that corroborate for data validation. For the grouping and organization of the data, the Atlas.ti software was used and the analysis of the data involved: preliminary analysis, ordering, key links, coding and categorization, guided by the gaze of Comprehensive Sociology and Everyday Life. Results: Evidence of self-concept: marks on the body and soul, wheelchair and the negative perception of the disease, from the decline to the reconstruction of self-image; prejudice in the dimensions: family and social. Conclusion: Self-prejudice negatively influences self-image, creating a mechanism of defense and denial of condition experiencing spinal cord injury. The family is decisive in everyday transformation the way that a person lives and perceives his condition. We need a sensibilization to look established preconceptions that imply about the segregation of people in society. (AU)

RESUMO

OBJETIVO: Analisar a percepção de pessoas transexuais sobre as situações preconceituosas vivenciadas no seu cotidiano. MÉTODO: Estudo descritivo, com abordagem qualitativa, realizado presencialmente entre os meses de junho e dezembro de 2018, com 25 pessoas transexuais dos municípios de Petrolina/PE e Juazeiro/BA. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, que foram gravadas e transcritas na íntegra e esses dados analisados por meio da Análise de Conteúdo temática. RESULTADOS: Verificou-se que as pessoas transexuais percebem a ocorrência de situações de violência em seu cotidiano, evidenciada de diversas formas. Ao indagar sobre a violência e o preconceito sofrido, foi mencionado o medo, a visão diferente e preconceituosa das pessoas, as dificuldades no uso de banheiros públicos e a falta de informação quanto à diferenciação dos subgrupos da sigla LGBTQIA+. Quanto às dificuldades enfrentadas, foram citadas as barreiras de acesso à saúde, educação, inserção no mercado de trabalho e relacionamento familiar. CONCLUSÃO: Assim, considerando a complexidade dessa problemática na região estudada e no país como um todo, torna-se fundamental a participação política desses indivíduos em movimentações sociais da diversidade sexual e de gênero, de forma a se buscar a conscientização da sociedade a respeito dessa diversidade e, a partir disso, propor o planejamento e execução de ações que visem diminuir as dificuldades de pessoas transexuais em relação à garantia dos direitos fundamentais.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the perception of transgender people about the prejudiced situations they experience in their daily lives. METHOD: Descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, carried out in person between June and December 2018, with 25 transgender people from the municipalities of Petrolina/PE and Juazeiro/BA. Data collection took place through semi-structured interviews, which were recorded and transcribed in full and these data were analyzed using thematic Content Analysis. RESULTS: It was found that transgender people perceive the occurrence of situations of violence in their daily lives, evidenced in different ways. When inquiring about the violence and prejudice suffered, fear, the different and prejudiced view of people, the difficulties in using public restrooms and the lack of information regarding the differentiation of subgroups of the acronym LGBTQIA+ were mentioned. As for the difficulties faced, barriers to access to health, education, insertion in the labor market and family relationships were cited. CONCLUSION: Thus, considering the complexity of this problem in the region studied and in the country as a whole, the political participation of these individuals in social movements of sexual and gender diversity becomes essential, in order to seek society's awareness of this diversity and, from this, propose the planning and execution of actions that aim to reduce the difficulties of transgender people in relation to the guarantee of fundamental rights.

RESUMO

Resumo O artigo tem como objetivo estimar a prevalência de discriminação social autorreferida em pessoas com deficiência auditiva nos serviços de saúde brasileiros, verificando fatores associados à discriminação. Estudo transversal de base populacional, com dados de um inquérito epidemiológico domiciliar realizado ponderadamente em todo o território brasileiro no ano de 2013. A amostra final deste estudo compreendeu 1.464 adultos com perda auditiva autorreferida. Utilizou-se regressão de Poisson com variância robusta para cálculo de razões de prevalência (RP) brutas e ajustadas para a investigação das prevalências de discriminação autorreferida nos serviços de saúde e seus respectivos intervalos de confiança de 95%. A prevalência de discriminação em adultos com deficiência auditiva nos serviços de saúde brasileiros foi de 15%. Indivíduos de cor/raça preta e que relataram que a perda auditiva limita as suas atividades de vida diária apresentaram maior associação com discriminação. Pessoas com deficiência auditiva de cor/raça preta e que apresentam limitação nas atividades da vida diária em decorrência da perda auditiva relataram maior discriminação nos serviços de saúde. Estratégias de enfrentamento à discriminação de profissionais da área da saúde devem ser implementadas para que esse cenário seja modificado.

Abstract This article aims to estimate the prevalence of self-reported discrimination against people with hearing loss in Brazilian health services and analyze associated factors. We conducted a cross-sectional population-based study using data from the 2013 National Health Survey. The final study sample comprised 1,464 individuals with self-reported hearing loss. Poisson regression was used to calculate crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (PR) and respective 95% confidence intervals. The overall prevalence of discrimination was 15%. Prevalence was higher among black people and respondents who reported experiencing limitations in activities of daily living. Prevalence of discrimination in Brazilian health services was highest in black people with limitations in activities of daily living. The implementation of policies and actions to address this problem is recommended, including strategies during the education and training of health professionals.

RESUMO

Since 1997, Ecuador has undergone a series of changes to ensure family rights to sexual minorities. However, there is still limited research regarding attitudes toward them. This study focused on the attitudes toward lesbians (L), gay men (G), and their rights. A sample of 318 cisgender Ecuadorians who responded to an online survey was recruited. Analyses indicated that men, heterosexuals, who practice their religion, attend more frequently to religious services, and identify as conservative showed higher levels of prejudice against LG as well as less support toward their rights. Further, participants who did not have LG acquaintances, friends, family members, and those who did not know any LG parented family showed less support toward these populations. Multiple regression analyses indicated that believing that a person's sexual orientation is learned significantly predicted the attitudes measured in our study. Implications of these findings to help reduce prejudice against LG individuals are discussed.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The perception of prejudice against, and stigmatization of, sickle cell disease (SCD) leads the patient to perceive a different treatment, due to the disease stigma and may be related to a worse quality of life (QoL). OBJECTIVES: Describe and evaluate the perception of the prejudice against the disease and its impact on the quality of life of patients with sickle cell disease. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study conducted between March 2019 and February 2020, with patients diagnosed with SCD. Patients were questioned about the perception of prejudice in any kind of situation, choosing between "Yes" or "No", not differentiating situations related to prejudice. To assess the QoL and impact of the disease, the volunteers answered a version of the SF-36 questionnaire translated and validated into Brazilian Portuguese. RESULTS: In this study, 113 patients with SCD were followed up, 92% were classified as HbSS and the rest, divided between HbSC and HbS-ß-0. Regarding the SF-36, the worst scores were in the summary of the physical components (mean 48.19 ± 21.51) and the physical aspect had the lowest mean (30.75 ±€42.65). When questioned if they had already perceived any kind of prejudice, including the SCD, 32.74% answered "Yes". For this comparison, there was a significant difference in the summary of the physical and mental components, with worse QoL for those who had already suffered prejudice. CONCLUSION: Patients diagnosed with SCD who reported perception of prejudice had statistically significant worse QoL, revealing the negative impact, that might lead to sadness and social isolation.
