Abstract

This research aims to explore the relationship between somatization and minority stress in the LGBTQ+ community in Hungary, building on the biopsychosocial model, addressing the unique health challenges of the community and expanding the currently limited literature on the subject. The study involved adult, LGBTQ+, Hungarian individuals, and it assessed somatic symptom severity using the Patient Health Questionnaire-15. Ordinal logistic regressions were carried out, using multiple covariates and factors. Our findings shows that women reported higher somatic symptoms and stress levels, however, these effects are moderate among those living in the capital. The influence of residence type on the individual's psychosomatic health was proven to depend on their sexual orientations and gender identities. Additionally, older respondents, regardless of their gender or sexual orientation, seem to experience less somatic symptoms and stress. The gender respondents identify with, their type of residency, and age have been demonstrated as the most significant factors influencing somatic symptoms and perceived stress. As one of the pioneering studies on psychosomatic symptoms in sexual and gender minorities in Hungary, this research underscores the imperative to academically and practically address the health concerns of the LGBTQ+ community.

匈牙利 LGBTQ+ 个人的躯体化模式和少数群体压力。
本研究旨在探讨匈牙利 LGBTQ+ 群体的躯体化与少数群体压力之间的关系,以生物心理社会模型为基础,解决该群体面临的独特健康挑战,并扩展目前有关该主题的有限文献。该研究涉及匈牙利的成年 LGBTQ+ 人士,使用患者健康问卷-15 评估躯体症状的严重程度。研究使用多种协变量和因素进行了顺序逻辑回归。我们的研究结果表明,女性报告的躯体症状和压力水平较高,但这些影响在居住在首都的女性中并不明显。事实证明,居住地类型对个人心身健康的影响取决于个人的性取向和性别认同。此外,年龄较大的受访者,无论其性别或性取向如何,似乎经历的躯体症状和压力都较少。受访者的性别认同、居住地类型和年龄被证明是影响躯体症状和感知压力的最重要因素。作为匈牙利性少数群体和性别少数群体心身症状的开创性研究之一,这项研究强调了在学术和实践上解决 LGBTQ+ 群体健康问题的必要性。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Homosexuality is an internationally acclaimed, peer-reviewed publication devoted to publishing a wide variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary scholarship to foster a thorough understanding of the complexities, nuances, and the multifaceted aspects of sexuality and gender. The chief aim of the journal is to publish thought-provoking scholarship by researchers, community activists, and scholars who employ a range of research methodologies and who offer a variety of perspectives to continue shaping knowledge production in the arenas of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) studies and queer studies. The Journal of Homosexuality is committed to offering substantive, accessible reading to researchers and general readers alike in the hope of: spurring additional research, offering ideas to integrate into educational programs at schools, colleges & universities, or community-based organizations, and manifesting activism against sexual and gender prejudice (e.g., homophobia, biphobia and transphobia), including the promotion of sexual and gender justice.
