Objective:
To describe and analyze the national and international scientific production on Nursing care for the transgender or gender-variance population.
Method:
Integrative review of the literature, conducted throughout the Virtual Health Library, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Public Medline and Web of Science databases, without pre-established periods of time and using the descriptors "Transgender AND 'Nursing Assistance'" and "Transgender AND 'Nursing care'".
Results:
We included 11 articles, published between 2005 and 2016, broadly North American with only one Brazilian, so categorized: I- Fragility in the care of transgender people; II - Health of the transgender population: general and specific demands; III- Public health policies for transgender people. Transgender people have not found yet answers to their health demands; they are victims of prejudices and violence in services and seek care in extreme cases of sickness.
Final Considerations:
Understanding their needs is primordial to build knowledge and practices that support nursing care.
