Year: 2025
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: Introduction: In Brazil, Basic Health Units are the gateway to Primary Health Care (PHC), implementing health promotion, prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation practices. Despite advances in recent years, access to quality PHC for the LGBTQIAPN+ population is still permeated by challenges. Objectives: to describe the perception of LGBTQIAPN+ users within the PHC of a city in the interior of Bahia. Methods: this is a qualitative study, with a descriptive-exploratory focus. The Snowball Technique was used, in which 10 participants responded to a semi-structured interview. Data analysis used Bardin's thematic content analysis technique (1977). Results: most interviewees (60%) pointed out the problems they faced when using PHC services. Regarding the level of satisfaction with the services, there was a prevalence of “satisfied” (40%) and “not very satisfied” (40%) responses. Conclusion: LGBTQIAPN+ individuals suffer from invisibility and prejudice due to the lack of knowledge of health professionals, requiring welcoming, comprehensive, equitable and educational care, and the preparation of these professionals is urgent due to the growth of the aforementioned population.
