Situaciones de violencia en la atención gineco obstétrica en mujeres de la comunidad de San Eduardo.

Abstract

Currently, gynecological-obstetric care is important for maternal and child wellbeing; however, in some contexts, the quality of this care is clouded by situations of violence that affect women and pregnant women. Objective: To describe the situations of violence in the gynecological and obstetric care received by the women of the San Eduardo community. Methodology: descriptive, quantitative, retrospective, cross-sectional. Sample: 50 women by non-probability sampling for convenience. Technique: Survey, Instrument: Questionnaire of questions from the INEC form. Section 8. Results: Of the total women, 40% were between the ages of 18 and 21 with menarche between 12 and 13 years (62%), who began their sexual activity between the ages of 14 and 15 (54%), with a sexual partner (82%). In OB-GYN violence, they experienced inappropriate gestures or comments when asked about the number of sexual partners (66%); in obstetric violence, they experienced being prescribed or placed a contraceptive method without explaining the side effects (54%); Psychological violence was ignored or denied in the provision of information (60%) and physical violence, pressure on the abdomen or the administration of medication to speed up the delivery (64%), touched them repeatedly (60%). Conclusion: In the San Eduardo community, gynecological-obstetric violence affects young women with sexual experience. Inappropriate gestures and comments about their sexual life, lack of explanation and denial of information are highlighted. It is imperative to improve the quality and empathy in gynecologic-obstetric care to ensure respectful and violence-free experiences for all women.
