Emergencies Related to Sexual and Gynecological Violence: Integrated Care Protocols

This research investigated integrated emergency care protocols for victims of sexual violence, focusing on their effectiveness, challenges, and associated humanized practices. The theme was contextualized in light of the growing demand for qualified and multidisciplinary services to mitigate the clinical and psychological impacts resulting from violence, highlighting the importance of victim-centered approaches and intersectoral coordination. The problem identified gaps in the effective implementation of these protocols, caused by institutional barriers, lack of training, and insufficient resources. The general objective was to analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of integrated protocols, their barriers, and overcoming strategies, as well as to exemplify successful cases in the area. Methodologically, the neoperspectivist Giftedean paradigm was adopted, supported by the theories of Systemic, Comprehensive Care, and Public Policies in Emergency Health. The hypothetical-deductive method was applied and a rigorous narrative bibliographic and documentary review was conducted, using databases such as PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science, with specific descriptors related to sexual violence and emergency care, resulting in the critical analysis of 85 recent and high-impact studies. The main findings highlighted the effectiveness of integrated protocols, the importance of humanization and ongoing training, as well as institutional barriers and the need for greater investment. It was concluded that multidisciplinary integration and a humanized approach are crucial for the quality of care. The limitations involved the restriction to specific contexts and the absence of primary data. The contributions lie in the theoretical, methodological and practical advancement, adding academic, social and clinical value to the theme.
