Abstract

To analyze the concept of social identity of transgender persons and develop nursing diagnoses related to it. A concept analysis according to the Walker and Avant model. A scope review was carried out with a search of eight databases, a portal and two information systems, during June and July 2019. Articles, theses, and dissertations were analyzed in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, with no time frame definition. Of the 6.847 productions, 10 were included, and the concept of social identity was described in 4 of them. Critical, prior, and consequential attributes for the social identity of transgender persons were identified, and the analysis of the concept substantiated the proposal of the diagnosis: Willingness to improve the social identity of the transgender person. Social identity establishes a relationship with health, and the proposed nursing diagnosis strengthens the sense of belonging of transgender people, enhancing their rights as citizens.

Summary

Introduction

The term “transgender person” refers to a group of individuals who recognize themselves within socially established gender identities. Despite the current social changes, it is still necessary to intensify scientific production and public policies that promote the contact of society with the topic, in order to guarantee a diminution in prejudices and the clarification of issues related to transsexuality. Part of this demand is related to the complex universe of gender formation, which, when considering the variety of sexuality, classifies male and female homosexuals, bisexuals, intersexuals (hermaphrodites), transvestites, and transsexuals, each with their own particularities, with their desires, their physical, emotional, psychically contextualized realities and different social spaces[2]
