Assistência à saúde ofertada para mulheres privadas de liberdade: revisão integrativa

Abstract

The health conditions of women in prison do not meet the specificities required by public health policies. Objective: to know the nursing care and health of women deprived of liberty. Methodology: this is an integrative review carried out in the Virtual Library using the descriptors: Prisoners; Women's Health; Nursing Care, which allowed the exploration of a universe of 13 articles that met the inclusion criteria: full text available and free, in article format. And exclusion: a review article or that does not present women as a target audience for nursing care. Results: arranged in four empirical theoretical categories that answer the guiding question: What nursing care is offered to women deprived of their liberty? Nursing care for the health of women deprived of their liberty focuses on the reproductive area and is carried out through educational actions. Conclusion: there is insufficient health care offered by nursing actions, due to the precariousness of human resources and driven by the prejudice of acting in the prison environment that focuses on the medicalization of signs and symptoms.
