Engagement in regular physical activity is essential to prevent chronic diseases, yet few individuals are active enough to receive health benefits. Social factors such as relationship status, social support, and social capital are important for engagement in physical activity, although research investigating this area has not accounted for sexual orientation, including gay and bisexual men. The purpose of this dissertation was to examine the associations between relationship status, social support, and social capital by sexual orientation for men by using national-level epidemiologic data from the National Institutes of Health. Chapter one reviewed the literature examining the relationship among social variables, physical activity and sexual orientation to identify the gaps in sexual orientation/physical activity research. Chapter two used logistic regression to identify the prevalence of meeting physical activity recommendations for single and coupled gay and straight men by determining the association between relationship status and physical activity by sexual orientation. Coupled gay men were 1.61 (95% CI: 1.01-2.56) times more likely to meet physical activity recommendations compared to coupled straight men. Chapter three used linear and logistic regression to test the relationships between social support and physical activity by sexual orientation. Social support was not related to increases in physical activity for gay (AOR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.49-1.97) or bisexual (AOR: 0.64, 95% CI: 0.28-1.51) men as it was for straight men (AOR: 1.63, 95% CI: 1.44-1.90). Chapter four used multiple group structural equation modeling to test the association between social capital and physical activity by sexual orientation. Social capital was related to more light/moderate-intensity physical activity for gay (β = .14, p <.05) and straight men (β = .06, p <.001), and social capital was related to more vigorous-intensity physical activity for straight men only (β = .06, p <.001). Lastly, chapter 5 introduces a conceptual model of how sexual orientation is related to social variables, and ultimately, physical activity. These results provide insight into the complex associations among a social determinant of health and physical activity while highlighting the need for future descriptive and intervention studies.

"Mediating and Moderating Factors of the Relationship between Sexual Orientation and Eating Pathology and Body Satisfaction in Sexual Minority and Heterosexual Men".

Texto completo da fonteMost research on body image and disordered eating has focused largely on women, as women are at higher risk than men for eating disorders. In recent years research has revealed that men are at increasing risk for these outcomes, especially as the ideal male body represented in media images and therefore frequently internalized among men is becoming so lean and muscular as to make it very difficult for most men to realistically achieve. Sexual minority men in particular have been found to be at increased risk for body dissatisfaction, body shame, and disordered eating than their heterosexual counterparts. The research on sexual minority men, however, is in the beginning stages and it is unclear to date how and why body dissatisfaction and eating pathology may be systematically different in this population in comparison to heterosexual men. The current study sought to investigate mediating and moderating factors into the relationship between sexual orientation, body dissatisfaction, and disordered eating. Sexual minority men (n = 112) reported higher levels of body dissatisfaction and disordered eating than heterosexual men (n = 242). Contrary to hypotheses, integration into gay culture was not related to the outcome variables, nor were appearance conversations. Also contrary to hypotheses, exercise motivations were similar in both groups of men, with the exception that heterosexual men were more likely to report exercising for the purpose of competition. Implications and possible directions for future research are discussed.

"High-Risk Sexual Behavior and other Coping Mechanisms for Dealing with Negative Affect Associated with Social Stressors Among Gay and Bisexual Men".

Texto completo da fonteSurveillance and epidemiological studies over the last number of years show that HIV incidence has remained relatively stable, and even increased in some populations. Ironically, some of the most substantial increases have been seen in the very populations that have been most heavily targeted for HIV prevention interventions. This suggests that current prevention models, which primarily emphasize rational thought process, may be neglecting some important mechanisms that influence or cause high-risk sexual behavior. This study examines how non-rational thought processes may relate to high-risk sexual behavior in the face of social stressors. Grounded in Carver’s & Scheier’s (1996, 1998) Self-Regulatory Failure Model, which suggests that under certain circumstances, individuals may shift from abstract goals to more immediate sensory oriented goals. I explored a model that includes gay-related discrimination, hate crimes, and social stressors as predictors of high-risk sexual behavior, mediated by negative affect. I also explore whether the putative link between negative affect and high-risk sexual behavior is moderated by sensation seeking and avoidant coping personality styles. Lastly, I conducted exploratory analyses on the role alcohol may play in this model. The study employed a two stage purposive sampling procedure: First, 20 different U.S. media markets were selected at random; and next, individuals were recruited from within those media markets to participate in an online survey about these topics. Because the outcome data were counts of sexual behavior with a large proportion of zero responses, I employed Zero Inflated Poisson regression modeling. This modeling procedure allows one to examine if different variables predict initiation of behavior versus frequency of behavior. The results show partial support for the hypothesized model. Interpersonal stressors and discrimination appear to be consistent predictors of high-risk sexual behavior in this sample; however, the relationship to the outcomes differ for initiation of behavior as opposed to frequency of behavior, and further by type of sexual behavior. Hate crime rates showed little ability to predict high-risk sexual behavior outcomes. There is tentative evidence for distancing forms of coping as moderators of the relationship between negative affect and high-risk sexual behavior. Negative affect did not emerge as a mediator in the primary model examined in this study; although, negative affect was independently related to some sexual behavior outcomes. When alcohol use during sex was added as part of the exploratory analyses, negative affect emerged as a mediator for some high-risk sexual behavior outcomes. Exploratory analyses also revealed relationships between alcohol with sex, discrimination, and social stressors that suggest a strong interplay between all four variables and the sexual behavior outcomes. Hate crimes, however, were still mostly unrelated to high-risk sexual behavior in the exploratory analyses. Overall, these results point to a dynamic, complex, and non-linear set of relationships between interpersonal stressors, affect, sexual behavior, and alcohol use. Larger sample sizes, longitudinal study designs, and more granular measures of affect may help to clarify the causal relationships between these constructs. These results have implications for prevention interventions that emphasize emotional self-regulation at the individual level and address discrimination and stigma at a structural level.

Texto completo da fonteBackground: Research shows that LGBT youth do not always receive relevant sexual education linked to their sexual orientation. Studies also show that LGBT youth have a risk behavior when it comes to sex, that they get their information from alternative sites that also includes pornography. LGBT youth are more likely to be influenced by alcohol or drugs when they have sexual intercourse. LGBT youth experience exclusion and dare not to talk about their sexuality, which may result in the risk of harming themselves. Aim: The purpose is to investigate the support that gay and transgender youth receive regarding sexual health from school and school nurses. Method: The study had a quantitative approach, it was conducted by a survey that was created through Google Forms and could be accessed through a link. The survey had a total of 17 questions, 15 questions with fixed options and 2 were open. Results: Young people were most disadvantaged to the school nurse's concerns about sexual health and sexual issues, which was due to the heteronormative approach by the school nurse. Many of the LGBT youths considered that school was an important part of being able to offer proper information on sexual health. Some young people searched for information on their own and did not even know that they could talk to the school nurse about sexual health. Conclusion: The nurse needs more knowledge to be able to approach adolescence who identify as LGBT and not have a heteronormative attitude as well as adapt the environment at the reception that promotes open climate for LGBT youths.

Texto completo da fonteABSTRACT Background: Through history, homosexuality has been recognized as a psychological or medicational condition. Regardless of present amendments, homosexuality and gender-specific identity may to some extent be seen as tabu. LGBTQ persons generally has an increased risk for developing psychological illnesses, but refrain from seeking care due to previous experiences or fear of poor treatment. The nurse shall generate acceptance and a sense of safety. Aim: To compile knowledge of LGBTQ persons´experiences of treatment in health care. Method: An overview of 13 original articles. The studies viewed in this overview are performed in varied care units in Sweden, the USA and New Zealand. Results: The results point to both strengths and shortcomings of the treatment towards LGBTQ persons in health care. Some informants sensed a heteronormative attitude and ignorance among the healthcare professionals, and in some cases homo- and/or transphobia. Many informants felt uneasy about revealing their sexual orientation to the health care professionals. But the results also show that some healthcare professionals expressed acceptance and neutrality. Conclusion: LGBTQ persons experience a sense of heteronormativity and ignorance in regards to treatment in healthcare, but there are healthcare professionals that are educated and accepting.

Texto completo da fonteIntimate partner violence (IPV) occurs in LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) relationships at rates equal to or even higher than cisgender heterosexual relationships (Walters, Chen, & Breidig, 2013). The health consequences of IPV are well documented (Kwako et al., 2011). Trauma-informed care (TIC) is one service approach receiving increasing support for use with IPV survivors (Warshaw, Lyon, Phillips, & Hooper, 2014). Nevertheless, there is little research exploring the association between TIC and health among LGBTQ IPV survivors. Immobilization is prevalent for IPV survivors for whom fight or flight may increase risk of violence during traumatic situations (van der Kolk, 1989). TIC might be well-positioned to counter these immobilizing effects in effort to facilitate mobilization and better health for IPV survivors. The relationship between TIC and health through mobilizing mechanisms has not yet been tested. This study examined several mobilizing mechanisms as mediating the relationship between TIC and health including: 1) lower social withdrawal; 2) lower shame; 3) greater emotion regulation; and, 4) greater empowerment. Among 227 LGBTQ adults, structural equation modeling analyses tested the relationship between TIC and health, and the mediating effects of lower social withdrawal and shame, and greater emotion regulation and empowerment on the relationship between TIC and health. Results indicated that the direct effects of TIC on mental and physical health were not significant. Indirect effects of TIC on mental and physical health through the set of mobilizing mechanisms were not significant. However, TIC did predict greater empowerment and emotion regulation and lower social withdrawal. Lower social withdrawal and lower shame also predicted better mental health, while lower shame and emotion regulation predicted better physical health. Practitioners need to uncover additional services and resources beyond TIC that could improve health among LGBTQ IPV survivors. Research should continue to examine the potential effects of TIC in addition to how it is applied in the context of evidence-based treatment programs that are adapted for sexual and gender minorities

A população LGBT tem dificuldade em buscar atendimentos de saúde, principalmente, pela falta de Políticas Públicas específicas e pelo despreparo dos profissionais que os atendem. A Atenção Básica deveria ser a porta de entrada tanto para atendimentos mais prevalentes quanto para demandas especializadas. Dentro dela insere-se a Estratégia de Saúde da Família que tem por fundamento aproximar a população dos serviços de saúde disponíveis. O Agente Comunitário de Saúde (ACS) é o profissional responsável por facilitar este encontro. No seu território de atuação ele conhece a fundo seus pacientes não apenas nas questões relativas a saúde, mas também nas questões sociais, econômicas, religiosas, entre outras. O vínculo estabelecido entre profissional/paciente é o precursor para a adesão aos atendimentos. Assim sendo este profissional seria o facilitador para que a população LGBT encontre espaço na busca pelos serviços de saúde. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivos investigar como os ACS realizam atendimentos ao grupo LGBT; elaborar uma proposta de intervenção por meio de Grupos Focais (GF) com o conteúdo pertinente sobre esta população estigmatizada e avaliar de que forma a pesquisa influenciou a prática profissional destes ACS. Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram 12 Agentes Comunitários de Saúde que trabalham em uma Unidade de Saúde da Família na região periférica de uma cidade no interior de São Paulo. O método utilizado foi uma entrevista individual semiestruturada, sendo que as entrevistas forneceram subsídios para a elaboração de Grupos Focais com a finalidade de sensibilizar os ACS no atendimento à população LGBT. Constatou-se que os profissionais não se sentiam seguros no atendimento à população LGBT, porém demonstraram interesse quando a temática lhes foi apresentada. Por meio do último GF, realizado nove meses depois dos outros, os ACS puderam relatar situações reais de atendimento humanizado a população LGBT, e de como o conhecimento adquirido foi essencial para fazê-los mais seguros quando se depararam com essa população na busca por atendimentos.
The LGBT population has difficulty in seeking health care, mainly due to the lack of specific Public Policies and the lack of preparation of the professionals that attend them. Primary Care should be the gateway to both more prevalent care and specialized demands. Within it is inserted the Family Health Strategy, whose purpose is to bring the population closer to the available health services. The Community Health Agent is the professional responsible for facilitating this meeting. In his territory, he knows his patients thoroughly, not only in matters related to health, but also in social, economic and religious matters, among others. The established link between professional patient is the precursor for adherence to care. Thus, this professional would be the facilitator for the LGBT population to find space in the search for health services. The objective of this research was to investigate how Community Health Agents perform care for the LGBT group. To elaborate a proposal of intervention through Focal Groups with the pertinent content on this stigmatized population and to evaluate how the research influenced the professional practice of these Community Health Agents. The subjects of the research were 12 Community Health Agents working in a Family Health Unit in the peripheral region of a city in the interior of São Paulo. The method used was a semi-structured individual interview, and the interviews provided support for the elaboration of Focus Groups with the purpose of sensitizing the Community Health Agents in the care of the LGBT population. It was verified that the professionals did not feel safe in serving the LGBT population, but they showed interest when the theme was presented to them. Through the last Focus Groups, conducted nine months after the others, Community Health Agents were able to report real situations of humanized care to the LGBT population, and how the knowledge acquired was essential to make them safer when they encountered this population in the search for care.

Texto completo da fonteHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is one of the leading causes of death in low- and middle-income countries.On June 8, 2021, the United Nations adopted the Political Declaration on Ending Inequality and Ending AIDS by 2030. Nevertheless, the need for prevention and treatment in many of the most affected countries far exceed their ability to pay. In addition, AIDS mainly affects most-at-risk population groups. This thesis shows that the benefits of this massive investment by the international community to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030 exceed 6 for every 1 invested. While this is an attractive investment, achieving the global 95-95-95 HIV target is far from certain, especially for sexual and gender minorities who are up to 26 times more likely to acquire HIV.The economic models used in this research identify three main factors that impede the achievement of the targets. First, stigma and discrimination are the main barrier to accessing HIV services. Second, too little emphasis is placed on the role of mental health in vulnerability to HIV infection. Finally, it demonstrates that inequalities undermine HIV response efforts by reducing the uptake of HIV testing.The findings of this thesis encourage policy makers to consider the importance to address inequality, mental health and homophobia in order to ending AIDS

Texto completo da fonteAim: This study aimed to improve knowledge about and illuminate the phenomenon of sexual orientation discrimination (SOD), particularly as perceived by homosexual men in a male-dominated workplace such as the Danish Armed Forces. We also sought to increase understanding of how such discrimination affects those individuals. Moreover, wesought to increase knowledge about and highlight the challenges and problems regarding SOD in the context of coping strategies. Method: We used transcribed semi-structured in-depth interviews as our survey tool. To analyze our results, we used open, axial, and selective coding, as described in grounded theory. Results: Data analysis allowed us to identify minority power (MP) as a core variable. Further, MP is sourced in the four main categories: stressors, coping, environment, and identity, which are elements of the core process. The MP model that emerged from our results illustrates the core process. Conclusion: The study shows that homosexual men use a complex range of coping strategies in different situations where SOD occurs. Despite the negative minority stressors experienced by homosexual men in the Danish Armed Forces, the subjects showed a unique sense of coherence—meaningfulness, comprehension, and manageability—that leads to MP. To benefit the entire population, this study emphasized the need to include questions about sexual orientation in public health research. The study shows that training about the special social conditions for the LGBT population, a diversity policy, and recruitment campaigns aimed at homosexuals result in greater competence among all individuals in the workplace. Preventing discrimination based on sexual orientation requires a salutogen perspective and multifactorial strategy on an intersectorial and interdisciplinary level without placing all responsibility on the individual

Texto completo da fonteProblem: Gay, bisexual, and queer (GBQ) adolescent males are disproportionately affected by negative sexual health outcomes compared to their heterosexual counterparts. Their sex education needs are not sufficiently addressed in the home and the larger ecological systems. The omission of their sex education needs at a time when they are forming a sexual identity during adolescence compels GBQ males to seek information in unsupervised settings. Evidence-based interventions aimed at ensuring positive sexual health outcomes through sex communication cannot be carried out with these youth as research on how parents and GBQ males discuss sex in the home has been largely uninvestigated.
Methods: This naturalistic qualitative study focused on the interpretive reports of 15- to 20-year-old GBQ males’ discussions about sex-related topics with their parents. From a purposive sample of 30 male adolescents who self-identified as GBQ, participants who could recall at least one conversation about sex with their parents were recruited for one-time interviews and card sorts. This strategy revealed, using Bronfenbrenners’ Bioecological Theory, their perceptions about sex communication in the context of their reciprocal relationship and the ecological systems that GBQ males and their parents navigate.
Results: Parents received poor ratings as sex educators, were generally viewed as not confident in their communication approach, and lacked knowledge about issues pertinent to GBQ sons. Nevertheless, participants viewed parents as their preferred source of sex information and recognized multiple functions of sex communication. The value placed by GBQ youth on sex communication underscores their desire to ensure an uninterrupted parent-child relationship in spite of their GBQ sexual orientation. For GBQ children, inclusive sex communication is a proxy for parental acceptance.
Results show that the timing, prompts, teaching aids, and setting of sex communication for this population are similar to what has been reported with heterosexual samples. However, most GBQ sons rarely had inclusive guidance about sex and sexuality that matched their attraction, behavior, and identities. Furthermore, the assumption of heterosexuality resulted in the early awareness of being different from their peers which led them to covertly search for sex information. The combination of assumed heterosexuality and their early reliance on themselves for applicable information is a missed parental opportunity to positively impact the health of GBQ sons. More importantly, due to the powerful reach of new media, there is a critical period of maximum receptiveness that has been identified which makes inclusive sex communication paramount in the pre-sexual stage for this population. Our findings also indicate that there are plenty of opportunities for systemic improvements to meet this population’s sexual education needs.

Texto completo da fonteEspera-se que até 2050 a população com 60 ou mais anos, atualmente representada por 841 milhões, passe a dois bilhões. Prevê-se que em Portugal, até 2080, a população de idade avançada passe de 2.1 a 2.8 milhões. As investigações atuais demonstram um aumento significativo da população LGBT nesta faixa etária, sendo que a literatura tem-se manifestado desatualizada e insuficiente parecendo não acompanhar as necessidades destes indivíduos. Esta população, constituindo-se como minoria sexual e de idade avançada, está particularmente sujeita a um duplo estigma. Neste estudo, pretende-se avaliar de que forma o estatuto minoritário, associado ao estigma sexual, à discriminação associada à idade e a outras variáveis psicossociais, interfere em variáveis de saúde mental, como a satisfação sexual e relacional. A amostra é constituída por 96 homens gays/bissexuais com 60 anos ou mais (M = 62.9; DP = 4.37) que responderam ao protocolo do projeto Silver Rainbow. Os dados foram recolhidos em formato online e em papel. A discriminação associada à idade explica de forma significativa a satisfação sexual e relacional, embora o estigma sexual apenas contribua significativamente para a explicação da satisfação sexual. Ainda, os níveis de coming out contribuem para a explicação da satisfação relacional. Verifica-se que o duplo estigma explica significativamente os níveis de satisfação sexual, mas não os de satisfação relacional. O Modelo de Stress Minoritário afigura-se como um modelo explicativo sólido no estudo desta população. Devido à escassez de estudos nesta área, sugere-se mais investigação no âmbito do envelhecimento LGBT.
ABSTRACT: It is expected that by 2050 the population with 60 or more years, currently represented by 841 million, will reach the number two billions. It is expected that in Portugal, by the year 2080, the elderly population will go from 2.1 to 2.8 million. Current research demonstrates a significant increase of the LGBT population in this age group, and literature is currently outdated and insufficient, and does not seem to address the needs of these individuals. This population, constituting itself as sexual minority and elderly people, is particularly subject to a double stigma. In this research, the aim is to evaluate how minority status, associated with sexual stigma, age discrimination and other psychosocial variables, interferes with mental health variables such as sexual and relationship satisfaction. The sample consisted of 96 gay/bisexual men aged 60 years or older (M = 62.9; SD = 4.37) who responded to the Silver Rainbow protocol. The data were collected in online and in paper format. Age discrimination significantly explains sexual and relationship satisfaction, although sexual stigma only contributes significantly to the explanation of sexual satisfaction. Moreover, the levels of coming out contribute to the explanation of relationship satisfaction. It is verified that the double stigma explains significantly the levels of sexual satisfaction, but not those of relationship satisfaction. The Minority Stress Model appears as a solid explanatory model in the study of this population. Due to the lack of studies in this area, more research in the field of LGBT aging is suggested.

Texto completo da fonteThe present study aims to assess the impact that internalized stigma, felt stigma, and coming out levels have on mental health, such as distress and suicide, and behaviours impacting on physical health, such as substance abuse and sexual behaviour risk of LGBT people. As well as exploring if there are differences between genders and between monosexual (gays e lesbians) and plurisexual (bisexuals, pansexual, queer and fluid) people. This research used a quantitative methodology and a non-probabilistic sample. The data being collected in online and in paper format. The sample consisted of 313 LGBT participants, 153 are women, 149 men and 11 Transgender/non-binary. The participants were between 25 and 59 years old (M = 35,94; SD = 8,366). Coming out and managing self-stigma against prejudice contributed significantly to the explanation of the levels of health outcomes. Namely, higher levels of self-stigma and lower levels of coming out were associated with greater psychological distress. Higher levels of self-stigma and coming out were associated with higher suicidal ideation. Lower levels of coming out and higher levels of self-stigma were associated with greater involvement in risk behaviours. The prevalence of suicidality in the sample and the fact that about 1/3 of the participants had severe distress levels show how important psychological intervention in internalized stigma and coming out can be for improving mental and physical health, and consequently, the quality of life of LGBT individuals.
