Abstract
Background: Many transgender women are dissatisfied with healthcare services. Purpose: (a) To describe satisfaction/dissatisfaction with healthcare services; and (b) to describe barriers/facilitators of satisfaction with healthcare services among a sample of transgender women. Design and Methods: A mixed methods design collected quantitative data (n = 50) and qualitative data (n = 25) from transgender women. Findings: Quantitatively, satisfaction with healthcare services was high among the participants, with lower areas related to healthcare systems issues. Qualitatively, participants identified barriers and facilitators of healthcare satisfaction. Implications: This study provides clinical, research, educational, and policy implications for improving healthcare satisfaction among transgender women.
