SUMMARY:

The regulatory practices of the body, gender, and desire produce historical inequalities experienced by the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transvestite, and Transsexual (LGBT) population. These inequalities materialize in various forms of violence in institutional spaces within the scope of health, education, and social assistance services. The inclusion of the demands of LGBT people in health services depends on the knowledge of their workers on this topic, which highlights the need to include this approach in professional training. In this sense, the present study aimed to analyze the insertion of the themes of gender identity and sexuality in health education. It was performed in two stages: 1) construction and validation of the research instrument and 2) cross-sectional study with the application of the questionnaire. In the first stage, the logical theoretical model was created, followed by the previous elaboration of an inquiry, to be evaluated by 25 specialists. The consensus was obtained by measures of central tendency and by the Content Validity Index. The questionnaire was validated by 19 specialists, consisting of 39 items and 92 of 92.9% CVI. In the second stage, a cross-sectional study was executed, with a quantitative approach, in the setting of public higher education institutions in the province of Rio Grande do Norte. We studied five campi: at the federal university, we investigated the campus in Natal and Santa Cruz, and at the province university, we included the campus in Mossoró, Caicó, and Pau dos Ferros.  The instrument validated in the first stage was applied, composed of three modalities: 1) sociodemographic characterization, 2) training on LGBT health, and 3) conceptions on LGBT health. All 517 students who completed Nursing, Physiotherapy, Speech Therapy, Medicine, Nutrition, Dentistry, and Public Health courses in 2019 were invited to participate in the research. In the end, 438 students answered the questionnaire. Descriptive, cluster analysis were performed, bivariate through the Chi-square and Fischer Exact tests, and multivariate through Poisson Regression and Multiple Correspondence Analysis, using SPSS 25.0 software. Higher frequencies were presented for items present in training related to transsexuals and transvestites and the lowest concerning the National LGBT Comprehensive Health Policy. The groupings showed an association between the average number of items that students had access to and participation in social movements and political training strategies. The final adjusted model revealed that the educational institution and self-declaration as LGBT are associated with greater access to LGBT care issues. Most of the students agreed with health policies to the LGBT population, and we observed groups between those who agree with all proposed policies, others that disagree, and those who did not express an opinion. The training is crossed, therefore, by individual and institutional experiences, which must be considered in the PNSI-LGBT guidelines, to enhance and democratize access to essential items for the care of bodies in SUS.
