Patienten, die Mitglieder der BDSM-Community sind, haben wahrscheinlich negative Erfahrungen im Gesundheitswesen gemacht, und diese Erfahrungen wirken sich auf ihre Kommunikation mit und ihr Vertrauen in zukünftige medizinische Begegnungen aus.

    “Participants completed measures including experiences with BDSM-play-related injuries, disclosure of BDSM activity to healthcare providers, measures addressing mistrust in in healthcare providers (such as avoidance of questions about sexual health or STI testing), and experiences with discrimination in healthcare settings because of BDSM group membership (such as perceptions of being insulted or receiving poor care).”

    I mean if you engage in risky activities like mountain climbing, wing-suit flying, horseback riding, extreme bdsm etc. and suffer a related injury, you have to accept that healthcare is going to be critical of your activity.

    Play safe kids.

    I wondered what in tarnation why it brings in the BDSM community of all things, but it makes sense in context:

    > Nearly, 40% of participants indicated at least one experience with discrimination in the healthcare system because they identified as a member of the kink community. Over 20% of participants indicated there were BDSM-related concerns they would have liked to discuss with their primary care provider but did not. Participants who hid injuries from their primary care provider had higher levels of medical mistrust and more experiences with medical discrimination than those who disclosed their injuries. A stepwise logistic regression determined that medical mistrust served as a significant predictor of hiding injuries from healthcare providers.

    It’s a crying shame that they were discriminated against, or perceived themselves to have been discriminated against, in a way that makes them uncomfortable stepping forward with actual health problems.
