"In the US, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals report higher rates of depression compared with heterosexual and cisgender persons. To date, little is known about the mental health of LGBT adults in Thailand. Here, we examined rates and correlates of depression among a volunteer sample of Thai LGBTs. Data were collected as part of a larger cross-sectional survey study. Standardized measures of sexual orientation and gender identity, stress, coping style, and minority stressors were completed. Of the 411 participants, 40.3% met the criteria for depression. In multivariate analyses, the combined influences of sociodemographic factors, general stress, coping strategies, and minority-specific stress variables explained 47.2% of the variance in depression scores (F[16,367]= 20.48, p<.001). Correlates of depression included coping strategies and minority-specific stressors, including experiences of victimization, discrimination, and level of identity concealment. Study findings have implications for psychiatric nursing practice and the development of intervention research."

"Homoseksual merupakan individu yang memiliki ketertarikan seksual dan emosional kepada jenis kelamin yang sama. Di Indonesia, orientasi seksual yang diakui oleh mayoritas masyarakat hanyalah heteroseksual. Homoseksual sebagai minoritas dipandang sebagai sebuah gangguan dan kelainan bahkan dosa. Hal ini menyebabkan individu homoseksual merasakan stigma dari masyarakat sekitar, dan bahkan merekapun memberikan stigma pada diri mereka sendiri. Minority stress atau stres minoritas adalah perasaan tertekan yang dihadapi oleh individu minoritas dari sebuah kelompok karena stigma yang diletakkan pada kelompok tersebut. Stres minoritas dapat mendatangkan berbagai gangguan psikologis mulai dari masalah harga diri yang rendah hingga kecemasan dan depresi.

Homosexual individuals often receive negative attitudes from society. These negative attitudes can be internalized by individuals and become a minority stress called internalized homophobia. Previous research has found that internalized homophobia is associated with depressive symptoms through sense of belonging. This study aims to determine the relationship between internalized homophobia and depressive symptoms, the relationship between sense of belonging and depressive symptoms, and the mediating effect of sense of belonging on the relationship between internalized homophobia and depressive symptoms among homosexual individuals in Indonesia. Participants consisted of 295 gays and lesbians aged 18-37 years who are Indonesian citizens.

Results showed that internalized homophobia was positively and significantly associated with depressive symptoms (r = 0,211, p <0,05) and sense of belonging was negatively and significantly associated with depressive symptoms (r = -0,563, p <0,05). Multiple regression analysis using PROCESS for SPSS model 4 shows that sense of belonging partially mediates the relationship between internalized homophobia and depressive symptoms. Through the results of this research, homosexual individuals can identify internalized homophobia as a risk factor of depressive symptoms and learn the importance of sense of belonging in reducing those symptoms."
