Summary: | The COVID-19 Pandemic has widened several social inequalities, mainly in social groups that multiply vulnerable, such as the Brazilian trans and transvestite population. We aim to analyze the psychosocial and income aspects of trans people during the COVID-19 pandemic. We conduct a cross-sectional study through interviews with trans people from an outpatient clinic. Ninety-two people agreed to participate in the survey, 43 men, followed by 34 women, five non-binary people, and two travestis. Among these, 54.4% were enrolled in the Cadastro Único, and 28.6% accessed Auxílio Emergencial during the pandemic. Trans men and non-binary people availed less of some benefit (p<0.001). Sex work was reported by 14.4% of people and was related to transfeminine gender identity (p=0.011), and sex workers were the most affected by the reduction in income (p=0.003). In addition, 51.7% of the participants reported signs and symptoms of anxiety, depression, and negative thoughts that correlated with income impairment (p=0.018). Therefore, we suggested that the COVID-19 pandemic impacted income and that this was related to psychosocial conditions in trans and travestis.

Con el objetivo de analizar aspectos psicosociales y de ingresos de las personas trans en la Pandemia del COVID-19, se realizó un estudio transversal a través de entrevistas a personas trans de un ambulatorio. 92 personas aceptaron participar en la encuesta, 43 hombres, seguidos de 34 mujeres, 5 personas no binarias y 2 travestis. Entre estos, el 54,4% estaban inscritos en el Registro Único y, durante la pandemia, el 28,6% accedió a la Ayuda de Emergencia. Los hombres trans y las personas no binarias aprovecharon menos algún beneficio (p<0,001). El trabajo sexual fue reportado por 14,4% de las personas, y estuvo relacionado con la identidad de género transfemenina (p=0,011) y las trabajadoras sexuales fueron las más afectadas por la reducción de ingresos (p=0,003). Además, el 51,7% de los participantes relató signos y síntomas de ansiedad, depresión y pensamientos negativos, informes que se correlacionaron con el deterioro de la renta (p=0,018). Se sugiere que la pandemia de COVID-19 tuvo un impacto en los ingresos y que este estuvo relacionado con condiciones psicosociales en trans y travestis. Palabras clave: Personas Transgénero; Pandemia de COVID-19; Ingreso; Psicosocial.The COVID-19 Pandemic has widened several social inequalities, mainly in highly vulnerable social groups, such as the trans population in Brazil.Considering this scenario, we carried out a cross-sectional study through interviews with trans people assisted in an outpatient clinic in São Paulo to analyze the psychosocial and income aspects of trans people during the COVID-19 pandemic. Ninety people agreed to participate in the research, 46 men, 34 women, five people of non-binary gender, two travestis, and three people who mentioned other gender identities. Among these, 54.4% were in the Cadastro Único, and 28.6% accessed Auxílio Emergencial during the pandemic. However, trans men and people of non-binary gender were less likely to use any assistance benefit (p<0.001), in addition to trans men having a higher pre-pandemic income than trans women. Furthermore, 14.4% of participants reported sex work, occupation which was related to transfeminine gender identity (p=0.011), and sex workers had a more significant impact on income reduction (p=0.003). However, our data differ from other national surveys and in São Paulo city with transgender people; because our sample has a higher prevalence of formal jobs, higher education level, a lower percentage of sex workers, and lower use of emergency assistance during the pandemic. However, 68.9% of the sample reported symptoms of anxiety, 60% of depression, and 51.7% of suicidal ideation associated with compromised income during the pandemic (p= 0.018). Therefore, we concluded that our research participants had a different socioeconomic and mental health profile than other studies with transgender people, probably because it is a sample also containing people linked to a university and with health care associated with support for gender identity. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, they had an increase or appearance of anxiety and depressive symptoms, in addition to suicidal ideation associated with reduced income. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the reduction in income during the pandemic was more associated with feminine trans identities and the occupation of sex workers, in addition to other disparities in access and socioeconomic status between different gender identities. That indicates the need for public policies to reduce social inequalities and prevent mental health in low-income transgender people.Editora Universitária Tiradentes2023-07-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.set.edu.br/saude/article/view/1134210.17564/2316-3798.2023v9n2p261-277Interfaces Científicas - Saúde e Ambiente; v. 9 n. 2 (2023): Fluxo Contínuo; 261-2772316-37982316-331310.17564/2316-3798.2023v9n2reponame:Interfaces Científicas.
