ABSTRACT

Moçambique introduziu directrizes para serviços integrados de violência baseada no género (VBG) em 2012. Em 2017, formámos prestadores de serviços em serviços empáticos e de apoio aos sobreviventes da VBG e introduzimos serviços domiciliários para sobreviventes que não têm acompanhamento. As proporções de taxas de visitas clínicas foram comparadas antes e depois do início da intervenção, utilizando testes de significância exata. Foram revistos dados de 1.806 sobreviventes da VBG, com um total de 2.005 eventos. A idade mediana foi de 23 anos (IQR 17-30) e 89% eram mulheres. Entre aqueles que relataram violência, 69% relataram violência física, 18% relataram violência sexual (VS) e 12% relataram violência psicológica. As taxas de comportamento de procura de cuidados foram maiores no período de intervenção (razão de taxas 1,31 [IC95%: 1,18-1,46]); p < 0,01. Entre aqueles elegíveis para profilaxia pós-exposição (PEP), 94% iniciaram a PEP. A adesão ao novo teste de HIV melhorou em pontos percentuais em 34% (14% para 48%), 34% (8% para 42%) e 26% (5% para 31%) em 1, 3 e 6 meses, respectivamente . A intervenção levou a um aumento na taxa de sobreviventes de VBG que procuram serviços de saúde e melhorou as taxas de cuidados de acompanhamento entre os sobreviventes de VS que iniciaram a PEP. O reforço do aconselhamento sobre adesão à PEP continua a ser crucial para melhorar os serviços de VBG.

ABSTRACT

Mozambique introduced guidelines for integrated gender-based violence (GBV) services in 2012. In 2017, we trained providers on empathetic and supportive services to GBV survivors and introduced home-based services for survivors who are loss-to-follow up. Rate ratios of clinic visits were compared before and after intervention initiation, using exact significance tests. Data of 1,806 GBV survivors were reviewed, with a total of 2005 events. The median age was 23 years (IQR 17-30) and 89% were women. Among those reporting violence, 69% reported physical violence, 18% reported sexual violence (SV), and 12% reported psychological violence. Rates of care-seeking behavior were higher in the intervention period (rate ratio 1.31 [95%CI: 1.18-1.46]); p < 0.01. Among those eligible for post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), 94% initiated PEP. Uptake of HIV retesting improved in percentage points by 34% (14% to 48%), 34% (8% to 42%) and 26% (5% to 31%) at 1-, 3- and 6-months, respectively. The intervention led to an increase in the rate of GBV survivors seeking health care services, and improved rates of follow-up care among SV survivors initiating PEP. Strengthening of PEP adherence counseling remains crucial for improving GBV services.
