OBJECTIVE: Psychological distress associated with discrimination is proposed to have an indirect effect on the development of @entity146 , through its negative influence on individual's cognitive, affective and social coping strategies. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between resilience, perceived social support, and perceived discrimination in individuals with @entity18268 . METHOD: Individuals with @entity18268 were assessed with Turkish validated forms of Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), @entity1650 ( @entity1650 ), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Diagnoses of @entity146 , history of suicide attempt and non-suicidal self injury were assessed with clinical interviews. Self-report forms were used to obtain demographic information and gender transition related features. RESULTS: @entity1 ' (n=116, 88 trans @entity1 ) median age was 25. Significantly low RSA scores, indicating poor resilience, were obtained in @entity1 with lifetime (59.5 %) and present (27.6 %) diagnosis of any @entity146 , history of suicide attempt (23.3 %). There was significant direct correlation between RSA and MSPSS scores, inverse correlation with BDI and personal @entity1650 scores, but not with group @entity1650 . Regression analysis revealed that only friends domain score in MSPSS predicted better resilience, whereas personal perceived discrimination score predicted poor resilience. CONCLUSION: Findings support the association between poor resilience and vulnerability to mental and @entity146 in individuals with @entity18268 . The associations reveal the significance of addressing discrimination and assisting individuals with @entity18268 in developing strategies to obtain peer support in providing mental health services.
