Resumo: | Objective: This study investigated the beliefs of professionals with higher education degrees who work with mental health, about the sexuality of people with severe mental disorders.Materials and Methods: Fifty-nine professionals participated in this quantitative survey, carried out from the application of questionnaires and psychometric scales through an online platform. Descriptive statistics, t-tests and Pearson’s correlation coefficient were carried out.Results and discussion: Professionals who have been working with mental health for longer expressed more negative beliefs about the sexuality of people with mental disorders. It is believed that these professionals who experienced the hospital-centered model, still have in their beliefs remnants of what they saw in psychiatric hospitals. The violence and violations of rights that people lived in asylums provoked the expression of sexuality as something aggressive, uncontrolled and pathological. No significant correlations were observed between sexual conservatism and prejudice against sexual and gender diversity, and the beliefs about how people with severe disorders experience sexuality or about how society judges the sexual dimension of this population.Conclusion: This scenario points to the need to invest in permanent education in the context of social work, to address the challenges related to sexuality. |

Realizou-se estatísticas descritivas, testes t e correlações de Pearson.Resultados e discussão: Não foram observadas correlações significativas entre conservadorismo quanto à sexualidade e o preconceito contra a diversidade sexual e de gênero com as crenças sobre como as pessoas com transtornos graves vivenciam a sexualidade ou com as crenças sobre como a sociedade julga a dimensão sexual dessa população. Entretanto, profissionais que atuam há mais tempo na saúde mental apresentaram crenças mais negativas sobre a sexualidade dos indivíduos com transtornos mentais.Conclusão: Esse panorama indica a necessidade de investimento em educação permanente no contexto assistencial, contemplando os desafios relacionados à sexualidade.Universidade LaSalle - Unilasalle CanoasFigueiredo, Jamille Maria de AraujoCerqueira-Santos, Elder2021-11-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.unilasalle.edu.br/index.php/saude_desenvolvimento/article/view/775410.18316/sdh.v9i3.7754Saúde e Desenvolvimento Humano; v. 9, n. 3 (2021); p. 1-12Saúde e Desenvolvimento Humano; v. 9, n. 3 (2021); p. 1-122317-8582reponame:Saúde e Desenvolvimento Humanoinstname:Universidade La Salle (UNILASALLE)instacron:UNILASALLEporhttps://revistas.unilasalle.edu.br/index.php/saude_desenvolvimento/article/view/7754/pdfhttps://revistas.unilasalle.edu.br/index.php/saude_desenvolvimento/article/downloadSuppFile/7754/1792https://revistas.unilasalle.edu.br/index.php/saude_desenvolvimento/article/downloadSuppFile/7754/1793Direitos autorais 2021 Saúde e Desenvolvimento Humanoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-03-14T12:48:12Zoai:ojs.revistas.unilasalle.edu.br:article/7754Revistahttp://www.revistas.unilasalle.edu.br/index.php/saude_desenvolvimentohttps://revistas.unilasalle.edu.br/index.php/saude_desenvolvimento/oaisdh@unilasalle.edu.br2317-85822317-8582opendoar:2022-03-14T12:48:12Saúde e Desenvolvimento Humano - Universidade La Salle (UNILASALLE)false |
