BACKGROUND
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic disrupted the provision or exacerbated the existing gap of access to essential healthcare services. An unanticipated effect on access to healthcare services emerged with the introduction of COVID-19 lockdown regulations. Violence against women is prevalent with varying degrees of severity in all spheres of society.
METHODS
This study aims to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the access to healthcare services for the victims of sexual assault in the Mthatha region of South Africa. This is a records review of victims of sexual assault survivors who visited and were treated at the Sinawe TCC at Mthatha Regional Hospital. The data on sexual assault cases at Sinawe TCC were compared with a time-matched control group from 2014 to 2020.
RESULTS
There were 5747 sexual assault cases reported at Sinawe TCC between 01 January 2014 and 31 December 2020. There was a major drop in reported cases at Sinawe TCC during the 2020 year, with only about half (451) of the annual average cases being reported.
CONCLUSION
The COVID-19 pandemic has an impact on access to healthcare services for the victims of sexual assault survivors in the Mthatha region of South Africa.
背景
2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行扰乱了基本医疗服务的提供，或加剧了现有服务获取差距。随着 COVID-19 封锁规定的出台，医疗服务的可及性出现了意想不到的影响。暴力侵害妇女行为在社会各个领域普遍存在，且严重程度不一。
方法
本研究旨在评估 COVID-19 大流行对南非姆塔塔地区性侵犯受害者获得医疗服务的影响。这是对在姆塔塔地区医院 Sinawe TCC 就诊和接受治疗的性侵犯幸存者进行的回顾性病历分析。对 Sinawe TCC 的性侵犯病例数据与 2014 年至 2020 年同期的对照组进行了比较。
结果
在 2014 年 1 月 1 日至 2020 年 12 月 31 日期间，Sinawe TCC 共报告了 5747 例性侵犯案件。2020 年，Sinawe TCC 报告的病例数大幅下降，每年平均报告的病例数仅为 451 例，约为往年的一半。
结论
COVID-19 大流行对南非姆塔塔地区性侵犯幸存者获得医疗服务产生了影响。
