Estratégias educacionais em saúde para atenção a mulheres em situação de violência sexual

Abstract

Introduction: Women's health care includes, among several approaches, addressing sexual violence, considered one of the most perverse and recurrent manifestations of violence. Although it is a serious public health problem, in Brazil, the training of health professionals for a holistic interdisciplinary care for sexually assaulted women is still incipient. Objectives: We aimed to propose the basic steps for the development of a Permanent Health Education Plan on Sexual Violence against Women. Method: This is a descriptive, exploratory, qualitative study, supported by bibliographical and documentary research. Results: We present a plan construction model, together with thematic suggestions, teaching-learning strategies and materials on the theme. We also suggest a script of educational activities for the continuing education of health professionals. The proposed material can be adapted to the reality of the services, according to the health needs of the territory and the learning goals of health professionals. Conclusion: The plan can also help professionals and teams to foster teaching-learning spaces as an effective response to the problem of sexually assaulted women’s care.
