Abstract

There is a historical process of discrimination, violence and difficulty in accessing health services by lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transsexuals and other sexual orientations that distance them from the heterosexual binary model (LGBT+). In view of this context, it is proposed to develop the present research project whose general objective is to analyze the performance of nurses from the Family Health Strategy (FHS) in the health care of the LGBT+ population. This is a research project with a qualitative approach to be developed in a scientific literature database and with FHS nurses in the city of São Carlos/SP through semi-structured interviews, which should be recorded and transcribed in full so that they can later be analyzed by thematic categorical analysis and with the Institutional Analysis as its theoretical framework, in its Socioanalytical current. The development of this research project is expected to advance the agenda of health care for the LGBT+ population, especially by nurses, giving focus to the facilities and difficulties presented by them in meeting this demand and, consequently, trigger discussion processes in relation to the training of these (s) professionals to deal with the gender and health care issues of this population.
