Resumen

Introducción: La infancia y la adolescencia constituyen el periodo de mayor exploración y de consolidación de la identidad de género, debido a que la expresión de género está ligada al desarrollo físico, emocional y cognitivo del individuo, y es común que en esta etapa se manifiesten las señales de incongruencia de género y se inicie la atención médica y psicosocial para abordar los síntomas de malestar físico y mental de los niños, niñas y adolescentes con identidades de género diversas.


Objetivo: Identificar el aporte del área de la salud en la construcción del género de niños, niñas y adolescentes con género diverso.


Métodos: Revisión integrativa de la literatura de artículos originales y revisiones publicados en el periodo 2008-2023.


Resultados: Se identificaron cinco temáticas asociadas, así: diferentes etiquetas diagnósticas utilizadas, acceso a servicios en salud, tratamientos y sus efectos secundarios, salud mental y la autonomía para toma de decisiones en salud.


Conclusiones: Se debe comprender que las variaciones de género son parte de la diversidad humana y no tienen naturaleza inherentemente patológica, es decir, no son trastornos o enfermedades.
