10 years of resistance/existence of the national policy for the comprehensive health of LGBT: an integrative review

Abstract

The National Policy of Integral Health for Lesbians, Gays, Transvestites and Transsexuals (PNSILGBT) is a mitigating measure of discrimination in the Unified Health System (SUS), with more than 10 years of (r)existence, enough time to analyze its implementation and repercussions. The main objective of this research is to identify in the scientific literature the repercussions of the 10 years of implementation of the PNSILGBT. This is an integrative review (IR), with a qualitative approach and an exploratory and descriptive purpose. 53 articles were collected which, after selection, resulted in the inclusion of 16 scientific articles published between 2017 and 2021, most (11) with original text in Portuguese. After categorization and inference of data, two categories emerged: Potentialities and consequences of LGBTQIAPN+ health policies; and Overview of LGBTQIAPN+ health care. The unfamiliarity of PNSILGBT by health workers is one of the main factors for non-implementation of the policy. Thus, it is concluded that the scientific literature on the subject is limited, requiring the expansion of research on this subject.
