Abstract

Aims and objectives: to examine discrimination and resilience experiences of people who identify as transgender and establish potential health service responses.
Background: people who identify as transgender face many challenges in society in terms of the knowledge, understanding and acceptance of a person’s gender identity.
Design: a narrative review of quantitative empirical research
Methods: a comprehensive search of CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO and Sociological Abstracts electronic databases from 2006 to 2016 was conducted.
Results: the search yielded 1478 papers and following the application of rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria a total of 19 papers were included in the review. The findings reveal that there is a need to ensure that the needs of transgender people are represented, fully integrated, and clearly linked to outcomes that improve their health and quality of life.
Conclusions: discrimination experiences can result in poorer health outcomes, however many people have developed resilience and positive coping strategies
