Provider Knowledge

Limited provider knowledge of transgender health contributes to stigmatizing interactions and access-to-care challenges for incarcerated transgender people. Drawing on interviews with recently incarcerated transgender individuals and correctional staff, a transgender health care provider training was developed and piloted. Providers indicated the training gave them the requisite competencies to offer gender-affirming care to transgender patients. Participants also rated the intervention to be highly acceptable and feasible and recommended it be provided to others. In addition, results suggested that the training may increase providers’ transgender-related knowledge. Further testing of the intervention is warranted.

BACKGROUND The global incidence in the treatment of transident people is increasing. In the COVID-19 pandemic, many consultations had to be cancelled, postponed or converted to a virtual format. Telemedicine in Transgender Health Care management could support physicians. OBJECTIVE This study analyses the Acceptance, Use and Barriers of Telemedicine in times of SARS-CoV-2 in Transgender Health Care in Germany. METHODS This prospective cross-sectional study was based on a survey of gynecological endocrinologists and transident patients in Germany during the COVID-19 pandemic. Descriptive statistics were calculated and regression analyses were performed to show correlations. RESULTS We analyzed the responses of 269 transident patients and 202 gynaecological endocrinologists treating transident patients. Most believed that telemedicine was useful. Physicians as well as patients rated their knowledge of telemedicine as unsatisfactory. The majority of respondents said they do not currently use telemedicine, although would like to do so. Patients and physicians reported that their attitude had changed positively towards telemedicine and that their usage had increased due to COVID-19. The majority in both groups agreed on implementing virtual visits in stable disease conditions. In the treatment phases, 74.4% (150/202) of the respondents would use telemedicine during follow-up. Half of the respondents would choose telecounseling as a specific approach to improving care (128/202, 63.2%). Obstacles to the introduction of telemedicine include the purchase of technical equipment (132/202, 65.3%), administration (124/202, 61.2%) and poor reimbursement (106/202, 52.4%). CONCLUSIONS Telemedicine in Transgender Health Care finds limited use but high acceptance among doctors and patients alike. The absence of a structured framework is an obstacle to effective implementation. Training courses should be introduced to improve the limited knowledge in the use of telemedicine. More research in teleendogynaecology is needed. These include large-scale randomized controlled trials, economic analyses and the exploration of user preferences.
