Abstract
En 中文
Gender-affirming mental health services are important to promote resilience and well-being in transgender and gender expansive (TGE) people, yet mental health professionals feel underprepared to work with TGE clients. In this study, we utilized a Solomon four-group design to determine whether an intervention changed attitudes toward TGE people, self-efficacy in providing care, and sense of professional responsibility (SPR) to deliver affirmative care. Mann-Whitney U tests revealed that individuals who viewed TGE guidance reported significantly more positive attitudes, higher self-efficacy, and greater SPR than individuals in the control group. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests also indicated that participants who viewed the TGE guidance intervention experienced significant increases in positive attitudes, self-efficacy, and SPR from pretest to posttest. Results from data collected from 2022 to 2023 indicate that brief educational content can influence how psychologists approach trans-affirmative care in their professional roles. We discuss implications and future directions for advocacy, education and training, research, and practice.
