Resumen

Introducción: La orientación sexual se entiende como el patrón de excitación física y emocional de un individuo, incluidas las fantasías, los comportamientos y las actividades, y los géneros por los que un individuo se siente atraído física o sexualmente. Las personas lesbianas, gays, bisexuales y transgénero (siglas LGBT) forman parte de una minoría que sufre muchos prejuicios y está bajo un estigma constante, por lo que se ven envueltos en diversos factores estresantes. Objetivo: Estimar la prevalencia de la población lesbiana, gay, bisexual y transgénero (LGBT) en la carrera de medicina de una universidad de Sergipe; identificar posibles malestares con respecto a la orientación sexual en el estudiantado; detectar evidencias de depresión en los participantes según su orientación sexual; determinar la relación entre el malestar y la relación social académica. Método: Muestra de tipo conveniencia con 142 estudiantes que firmaron el Término de Consentimiento Libre e Informado y respondieron cuatro cuestionarios: uno demográfico, Inventario de Depresión de Beck, Escala de Clima del Campus LGBT y Escala de Apoyo Social Percibido. Resultado: La minoría LGBT presentó mayores niveles de aceptación y percepción de apoyo social, sin embargo, en cuanto al conocimiento de las políticas públicas específicas para ellos en la academia, ambos grupos mostraron desconocimiento sobre el tema. Conclusión: Es importante discutir cuestiones de género y salud mental, buscando apoyo psicológico y social para quien sufre.
