“…With regard to the second step, a semi-structured interview with 11 questions was created. In line with other studies (e.g., Brown et al, 2013; Rood et al, 2017) using the Consensual Qualitative Research (CQR; Hill, 2012) methodology, we developed the interview integrating various elements from phenomenological and grounded theory analyses. The interview was aimed to explore some of the responses professionals gave in the online questionnaire concerning the young people they have seen.…”

“…The CQR methodology is a rigorous and systematic qualitative research approach that aims to investigate the subjective experience of participants. It has been used for a wide range of topics, such as therapeutic processes (Knox & Burkard, 2009), cultural diversity (Kim & Drolet, 2003), and gender diversity (Brown et al, 2013; Rood et al, 2017). This methodology allows for an investigation of general themes ( domains ) that are present in the interviews and are processed by an interactive discussion with one of the authors.…”

Introduction: In today’s Italy, gender diversity has assumed a remarkable resonance and visibility in both scientific and popular literature, which has facilitated the development of studies regarding treatments and support for children and adolescents with gender-related issues. Aim: the aim of this study was to conduct a preliminary evaluation of how Italian clinicians (psychologists and pediatricians) perceive gender variant children and adolescents, evaluating their approach to clinical practice. Methods: An online questionnaire directed to clinicians regarding their experience with, and perceptions of, gender variant children and adolescents was used for the first part of the research. In the second part of this study, Consensual Qualitative Research (CQR) methodology was applied to semi-structured interviews aimed at investigating clinicians’ approach to clinical practice. Results: Professionals reported 374 cases, including 200 children (aged 2–11 years) and 174 adolescents (aged 12–19 years); a total of 10 interviews were conducted with professionals. Conclusion: This study highlights the increase of gender variant children and adolescents seen by professionals, but also the poor awareness of Italian professionals about gender diversity and their care, as well as an absence of a network model of intervention.

“…It also contained life-cycle transitions, such as those from childhood to adulthood (Lee, Courtney, & Hook, 2012;Serracant, 2012) or from adolescence to adulthood (Allen & Williams, 2012) and life role transitions, such as the transition to parenthood (Behague, Goncalves, Gigante, & Kirkwood, 2012;Wardrop & Popadiuk, 2013) or grandparenthood (McKinley, Brown, & Caldwell, 2012;Taubman -Ben-Ari, Findler, & Shlomo, 2013). Yet another type of developemental transition was the gender transition (Brown et al, 2013;Macdonnell & Grigorovich, 2012). A "situational transition" (Meleis, 1985;Schumacher & Meleis, 1994) was described as a transition from one state to another, such as an employment transition (Butterworth et al, 2011;Cook, 2012), transition to retirement (Calvo, Sarkisian, & Tamborini, 2013;Oksanen et al, 2011) or marriage (Hewitt, Turrell, & Giskes, 2012;Robards, Evandrou, Falkingham, & Vlachantoni, 2012) and educational transitions (Perry, 2012;Salmela-Aro, 2012).…”
