Narrativas de enfermeiros sobre o cuidado à saúde de adolescentes gays

Abstract

Being a teenage/young gay person imputes vulnerabilites, with higher chances to suffer negative/right violations, product of prejudices and distancings presented on relationships with these specific public. It is right that the insertion of both conditions, being gay, there are higher chances to not get access to/or hospitality on the healthcare system, above all in stigma function, socially aware prejudice, negative productors, including the right to healthcare. The cisheteronormative traspassing has the tendency to deny people, deny human expression, in which can be extended to healthcare. By those matters, this study has its objective to analyze how nurses' narratives about the health care of gay adolescents. This exploratory study considers the qualitative approach having as its theorical references Symbolical Interactionism. 11 nurses took part of the study collecting data remotely through semi-structured interviwes and open for 6 months (March-September 2021). The data was transcribed in full and underwent thematic analysis in the proposition of Clarke and Braun. As a result, four categories emerged, being: “teenage gay and their needs”; “support network and truncated interactions with family”; “relacional encounter between nurses and gay adolescents”; and “teaching-service relationship with nurses’ care for gay adolescents”. The social labels can come to interfere on the true encounter, specially for leading to na unique look to the innocence of believing on unique stories and always similar, capable of being fitted on “prescriptions” of oriented documents on healthcare attention. The results found on this study point towards a care practice pretty plastered and still being executed on a cisheteronormative logic. Despite some of the nurses verbalizing expanded concepts about the teenage gay, the practice prevails guided by cisheteronormative biases and restricted by the operationalization of protocols. A relationship with a shallow formation process is inferred in terms of forms of existence, bodies, subjects, unfolded in reduced and almost object-oriented attention.
