ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Sexual violence has a several negative impact on women’s health. Thus, the health system is a gateway for the multisector response to victims. In 2018, the Clinical Forensic Hospital Units (UCFH) in Chile were launched for this purpose.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the state of implementation of the UCFH in the health services (HS) in Chile.
METHOD: This is a quantitative descriptive, cross-sectional study. A survey was designed and applied through the Google Forms platform to the managers of the care and prevention network for victims of sexual violence (VSV) of each SS. The contact of each manager was requested by each HS in three ways: transparency law, lobby law, and telephone. Each HS was classified according to the existence or not of UCFH and for each unit the availability of resources was evaluated according to the recommendations of the Technical Standard of Attention to VSV of the Ministry of Health. Also, the functioning of each unit during the pandemic was evaluated.
RESULTS: Twenty-four of the 29 HSs responded, of which 12 reported having UCFH. Of the 12 units, 50% had complete infrastructure, 58.3% had complete instruments, none had full human resources, 50% had partial HR, 50% had sampling complete, and 58. 3% had full health benefits. The function during the pandemic was affected in 25% of the units.
CONCLUSION: Challenges persist in the implementation of the UCFH, with special limitations in the availability of human resources.
