摘要
Poor sexual and reproductive health outcomes among youth are reflective of the many barriers members of this group face in accessing health services. This study provides an in-depth account of the unique challenges that young people face in accessing sexual healthcare services in Vietnam. We surveyed 130 men and women aged 18-24years at two major reproductive health sites in Ho Chi Minh City. We identified and explored seven domains: health insurance status, modern contraception use, HIV/STI testing, cervical cancer screening, unintended pregnancy, reproductive coercion and the patient-provider relationship. Attitudes towards the national health insurance system suggest that it does not facilitate access to healthcare. Despite widespread and affordable services, fears, fallacies and fixed social mores created formidable barriers for unmarried youth to access sexual and reproductive health services in Vietnam. ResumeLes mauvais resultats en termes de sante sexuelle et reproductive chez les jeunes refletent les nombreux obstacles que rencontre ce groupe de population pour acceder aux services de sante. Cette etude brosse un tableau complet des difficultes uniques rencontrees par les jeunes au Vietnam, alors qu'ils tentent d'acceder aux services de sante sexuelle. Nous avons interroge 130 hommes et femmes ages de 18 a 24 ans dans deux centres de sante reproductive a Ho Chi Minh City. Nous avons identifie et explore plusieurs domaines : le statut de l'assurance-sante, l'usage de methodes contraceptives modernes, le depistage des VIH/IST, le depistage du cancer du col de l'uterus, la grossesse non desiree, la coercition reproductive et la relation patient-prestataire de soins. Les attitudes vis-a-vis du systeme national d'assurance-sante suggerent que celui-ci ne facilite pas l'acces aux soins de sante. Malgre des services generalises et au cout abordable, les craintes, les idees recues et les mOEurs sociales etablies creent des obstacles considerables a l'acces aux services de sante sexuelle et reproductive pour les jeunes celibataires au Vietnam. ResumenLos malos resultados conseguidos por los jovenes en el area de la salud sexual y reproductiva son un reflejo de los numerosos obstaculos que deben enfrentar a la hora de acceder a los servicios de salud. El presente articulo da cuenta de un estudio exhaustivo cuyo objetivo fue abordar los retos singulares que muchos jovenes afrontan para acceder a los servicios de salud sexual en Vietnam. Con este proposito los autores entrevistaron a 130 hombres y mujeres, cuyas edades fluctuan entre los 18 y 24 anos, en dos de los principales sitios de salud reproductiva de Ciudad Ho Chi Minh. Ello les permitio identificar y analizar siete esferas vinculadas al tema estudiado: la situacion del seguro de salud, el uso moderno de anticonceptivos, las pruebas vih/its, la deteccion del cancer cervical, los embarazos no deseados, la coercion reproductiva y la relacion entre paciente y proveedor. Las actitudes expresadas hacia el sistema nacional de seguros de salud sugieren que no facilita el acceso a los cuidados de salud. A pesar de que en Vietnam los servicios estan muy difundidos y son asequibles, los temores, las falacias y las costumbres sociales rigidas representan obstaculos formidables para que los jovenes solteros accedan a los servicios de salud sexual y reproductiva.
