Tecnologias educacionais e sociais no combate às infecções sexualmente transmissíveis para as mulheres em situação de rua: revisão de literatura

Abstract

To verify the educational and social strategies related to exposure to sexually transmitted infections among homeless women. Methodology: This is a literature review, developed according to GIL (2008). The LILACS and PUBMED databases and the Periódicos Capes database were used, with the following descriptors: public health, health care, health education, homeless, educational, sexually transmitted diseases and Ill-housed persons, covering the period from 2007 to 2022, with the period of publication not being an excluding factor for the articles. Results: This review includes 09 articles published in Portuguese and English, one in the Lilacs database, two in the Pubmed database, two in the Periódicos Capes database and two in the Google Scholar virtual library. After analysis, four thematic groups were created: Vulnerability and Territoriality of homeless women; Knowledge about STIs and the experience of homeless women; Scope of the activities of the Street Clinic and Educational approach of professionals to homeless women. Conclusion: It can be seen that there are shortcomings in the implementation of the actions planned to assist these women, including in primary care units, making it difficult for them to access the services available there. The Street Clinic plays an important role in offering programmed approaches and humanized services and is the closest to this public, but it is not enough to meet the demands, requiring a review of approach strategies and actions
