Description

Liliane Lins-Kusterer, Nicolle Melo Vieira, and Carlos Brites validate, in a 2024 study, a scale that measures how humanely health workers treat transgender patients. Care that respects the person is especially important for this group, yet no measure had targeted it before this scale. The scale existed, but it had not passed a confirmatory check of its structure.

The team surveyed 443 health professionals and students at a public university and its hospital. They split the group in two at random. One half served to explore the scale's factor structure, and the other to confirm it. Standard tests checked whether the data suited such analysis, and how consistent each factor was. Fit was judged by several indices, and the scale was also tested against measures it should differ from. The result supports using the scale in training and service review.
