Abstract
Introduction: Transgender and non-binary individuals identify with a gender expression that deconstructs traditional patterns of femininity and masculinity, exposing them to violence and discrimination in different areas of society, including healthcare. Objective: To describe the challenges in nursing care for transgender and non-binary individuals. Methodology: Scope review, which included articles from 2018 to 2023, in Spanish, English, and Portuguese in the Web of Science, Pubmed, Epistemonikos, and Google Scholar databases, using the descriptors Non-Binary Gender, Transgender, Health Care, Nurse Care, Nurse Competence. Results: Twenty-two articles were obtained and grouped into three categories that account for the social and health experiences of transgender and non-binary people, the healthcare system organized under a heteronormative paradigm, and the cultural competence of nursing teams. Conclusions: The literature shows a lack of recognition of trans and non-binary identities in healthcare settings, highlighting the need for training nursing teams in order to provide inclusive care.
