- Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate anxious symptoms in transgender individuals attended in an outpatient clinic of gender and sexuality. It is characterized as a descriptive, cross-sectional and quantitative study, adopting a sample for convenience (n=46). It was carried out in the premises of a Northeastern University Hospital by applying the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and sociodemographic form, the data collected were worked on at EpiInfo. The results revealed that the majority of them were young, of a brown color, single, with a full high school education, students, resided with parents and/or relatives, non-religious, and half with employment. Mild anxiety was present in 21.7% and minimal in 34.8% of the patients, while moderate in 28.3% and severe in 15.2%. Statistical relevance was identified in the association between anxiety and age (p= 0.0072), and anxiety with employment (p=0.0039). Therefore, it was demonstrated that the majority of the interviewees presented with less severity anxious symptoms, which may have a relationship with their higher degree of education, presence of social support and presence of a work bond.
