RESUMO:

The reality of trans people and their health needs are still little known by the broader society and by health professionals. The objective of this work was to elaborate and carry out an educational intervention to sensitize these professionals about the care of the transsexual population. The field of study was a medical service of a public university, and its subjects were the components of the nursing team. It was qualitative work and brought a double proposal: production of knowledge and transformation of the reality investigated. For that, a workshop was organized in three meetings. An initial survey questionnaire, observation recorded in field diary, participant's written statements during the workshops, as well as a workshop evaluation questionnaire were used. Participants included eight professionals from the nursing team, five nurses and three nursing assistants or technicians, aged between 35 and 65 years and from 10 to 40 years of nursing practice.

Despite this time of substantial professional activity only one participant declared to have undergone training on transsexuality. It was noted that participants did not distinguish between what gender is and what sex is. Some professionals demonstrated that they had contact with concepts related to transsexuality, however, they did not have mastery of them, with difficulty even of differentiation between sexual orientation and gender identity. A concern of the professionals in establishing a relation of cause and effect for the transsexuality was traversed crossing three conceptions so much: biologicist, spiritualistic and behavioral.

There was a manifestation of the feeling of empathy directed at the trans person as well as their relatives by the participating professionals and of reflections on the prejudice / discrimination that involves transsexuality and its consequences. When reflecting on the health problems related to transsexuality the participants made a coherent list with the literature and cited psychological disorders, suicide, violence, indiscriminate use of hormone and industrial silicone. As for the transexualization process, the professionals brought as conclusions: the importance of the multiprofessional team and the priority of health actions for transsexual people that surpass the physical changes. Participants brought an extremely positive evaluation of the educational intervention, stated that they considered themselves to be safer and willing to care for the transgender person, and demonstrated a knowledge of the concept of transsexuality that is closer to what is found in the current literature. I would like to emphasize that no participant has been an expert in the subject, but rather with a greater breadth of knowledge, including the restlessness of the doubt that may foster the desire for further study on the subject.
