The nature and frequency of genital injuries sustained by female rape victims in Johannesburg

Hutton, Graham Ian January 2013 (has links)
A research report submitted to the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Emergency Medicine. MScMed (Emergency Medicine) Johannesburg, November 2013 / Background: Little research has addressed the types and meaning of genital injury in South African rape victims. In South Africa, rape victims in private practice are examined using gross visualisation and a light source only. Research has shown that the use of toluidine blue and/ or a colposcope increases the number of injuries seen. Objective: To determine rape victim demographics and describe the genital injuries and other associated injuries reported during medico-legal examination of female rape victims older than 15 in four private Johannesburg hospitals between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2009, as well as to determine any associations between these variables and the race or age of the victim. Method: A retrospective chart review of 310 sexual assault victims seen at these hospitals. Results: Black victims made up 62% of the study. One genital injury was recorded for 27% of the victims, while 21% had between 2 and 8 of a possible 11 injuries. The most commonly injured sites were the posterior fourchette, the hymen and the fossa navicularis. Bruising was the most common associated injury. Alcohol was reported in just fewer than 10% of cases. Conclusion: The incidence of positive genital injury documented is comparable to other research. Genital injuries are not inevitable consequences of sexual assault.

Em se tratando de saúde genital, a relação não poderia ser outra, uma vez que esta é parte integrante e inseparável da saúde geral do indivíduo. Estas ações são dependentes da condição social da população e previnem complicações e desconfortos, especialmente na área genital feminina, porém ainda não foram bem estudadas. Objetivo: Avaliar hábitos de higiene e cuidados com a genitália de mulheres no menacme e associá-los com fatores sociodemográficos. Sujeitos e Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo de corte transversal de base populacional, por amostragem, em todas as 28 Unidades de Saúde de Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brasil. Foram incluídas aleatoriamente 474 mulheres, admitidas em seus domicílios, no período de Julho de 2012 a Dezembro 2013. Um questionário auto-respondido foi preenchido de maneira sigilosa contendo 56 perguntas relacionadas ao tema, divididas nos seguintes domínios: I ¿ Limpeza genital; II ¿ Uso de absorventes higiênicos; III ¿ Práticas depilatórias; IV ¿ Uso de piercings e tatuagens genitais; V ¿ Tipo de Indumentária e VI ¿ Práticas sexuais. Além das variáveis relacionadas à higiene, foram considerados fatores sociodemográficos como idade, nível de escolaridade e renda familiar mensal, e algumas variáveis clínicas. A análise dos dados empregou o teste exato de Fisher para averiguar associação entre as variáveis; e regressão múltipla logística para verificar a chance de complicações clínicas e ginecológicas. O nível de significância considerado foi p<0,05. Resultados: A média da idade das participantes foi de 31 anos (± 7,7), 54% eram não caucasianas, casadas ou com parceiros (56,8%), com renda familiar inferior a R$ 1500,00 (53,7%) e 69,6% haviam cursado até o Ensino Médio. As análises sobre os hábitos de higiene demonstraram que 57,4% das mulheres tomavam dois banhos por dia, entretanto 51% lavavam a vulva mais de três vezes ao dia. O uso de lenços umedecidos foi relatado por 13,5% e somente 17,9% das entrevistadas realizavam corretamente a higiene após evacuação. Ducha vaginal foi descrita por 47% dos casos, quase 20% faziam esfoliação na região vulvar e 44,5% relataram corrimento vaginal frequentemente. O uso frequente do protetor diário ocorreu em 38,9% da população, entretanto somente 40,7% destas usavam o protetor sem película plástica. Mulheres mais jovens (p<0,0001) e com maiores níveis de escolaridade (p=0,0390) usavam menos absorventes internos. Observou-se que quanto maior a troca diária do número de absorventes durante o período menstrual, menor foi a chance de aparecimento de fissuras como complicação [OR=0,11 (IC95%:0,02-0,48)]. Quanto ao uso de vestimentas, o tipo de calcinha menos utilizada foi a sintética (5,5%) e os modelos fio dental ou tanga foram os mais relatados (68,6%), principalmente entre as mais jovens (p<0,0001). Cerca de metade da amostra referiu o uso frequente de calças apertadas (51,1%), o que esteve associado às mulheres jovens (p=0,0002) e com maior nível de escolaridade (p=0,0173), além de ser uma variável que identificou uma chance quase duas vezes maior do aparecimento de corrimento vaginal relatado pelas participantes [OR=1,95 (IC95%:1,35-2,81)]. Verificou-se que 97,9% das mulheres realizavam depilação íntima e 65,4% acreditavam ser importante para higiene. Em geral, mulheres com baixa escolaridade e renda utilizavam a lâmina de barbear como principal método. A depilação genital de forma "completa" foi relatada por 52,1% das participantes. Conclusão: Os hábitos de higiene e cuidados com a genitália ainda são inadequados em um percentual muito elevado de mulheres brasileiras. Fatores sociodemográficos como idade, nível de escolaridade e renda familiar mensal associaram-se com diversos aspectos na prática destes hábitos / Abstract: Hygiene is the set of body care, of the environment and a way of living, dressing and inhabits to prevent diseases with the goal of preserving and strengthening the health. In terms of genital health, the relation could not be different, since this is an integral and inseparable part of the overall individual health. These actions are dependent on the social status of the population and prevent complications and discomfort, especially in the genital area, but have not been well studied. Objective: To evaluate hygiene and care genitalia among women in menacme and associate them with sociodemographic factors. Subjects and methods: A population-based study was conducted, by sampling at all 28 health units in Vitoria, Espirito Santo, Brazil. Randomized 474 women were included, admitted in their homes between July 2012 to December 2013. A self-administered questionnaire was completed confidentially containing 56 questions related to the subject, divided into the following areas: I - Genital cleaning; II - Use of sanitary pads; III - Depilatory practices; IV - Use of genital piercings and tattoos; V -Clothing type and VI - Sexual practices. Apart from hygiene-related variables were considered sociodemographic factors such as age, education level and monthly family income, and some clinical variables. Fisher Exact Test was used to assess associations between variables; and multiple logistic regression to verify the chance of gynecological and clinical complications. Significance level was set at p <0.05. Results: The average age of participants was 31 years (± 7.7), 54% were not caucasian, married or had partners (56.8%), with family income less than R $ 1500.00 (53.7%) and 69.6% had attended high school. Analyses of hygiene habits showed that 57.4% of women took two baths per day, however 51% washed the vulva more than three times daily. The use of wet wipes was reported by 13.5% and only 17.9% of respondents performed correctly hygiene after defecation. Vaginal douching was reported by 47% of cases, almost 20% did exfoliation in vulvar region and 44.5% reported vaginal discharge frequently. The frequent use of the panty liners occurred in 38.9% of the population, however only 40.7% of these used without plastic layer. Younger women (p<0.0001) and with higher levels of education (p = 0.0390) used less tampons. It was observed that the greater the number of daily change of the absorbent during the menstrual period, the lower chance of appearance of fissures as genital complication [OR=0.11 (CI95%:0.02-0.48)]. Regarding the use of clothes, the type of underwear was less synthetic (5.5%) and the models thong or string were the most common (68.6%), especially among the youngest (p<0.0001). Approximately half of the sample reported frequent use of tight pants (51.1%) which was associated with young women (p=0.0002) and higher educational level (p=0.0173), as well as being a variable which identified almost twice the chance of appearance of vaginal discharge reported by participants [OR=1.95 (CI95%:1.35-2.81)]. It was verified that 97.9% of women performed pubic hair removal and 65.4% did because they believe it is important for hygiene. Generally, the razor blade was the main method used by women with low education and income. The "complete" genital hair removal was related by 52.1% of participants. Conclusion: Hygiene habits and genitalia care are still inadequate in a very high percentage of Brazilian women. Sociodemographic factors such as age, education level and monthly family income were associated with several aspects in practice of these habits / Doutorado / Fisiopatologia Ginecológica / Doutora em Ciências da Saúde
