Randomized trial explores psychological distress in TGNB individuals, highlighting the role of minority stressors and interoceptive awareness.

Key Points

This study aimed to explore how minority stress factors contribute to psychological distress in transgender and gender diverse individuals, and the mediating roles of interoceptive awareness and social safeness.
233 TGNB-identifying participants completed measures on minority stress, interoceptive awareness, social safeness, and psychological distress.
Structural equation modeling was utilized to analyze the data and test hypothesized relationships.
Path analyses showed that higher levels of minority stress are linked to greater psychological distress.
Decreased interoceptive awareness and social safety mediated the relationship between proximal minority stressors and psychological distress.
Interestingly, distal stressors correlated with increased interoceptive awareness, which further predicted psychological distress.
