The sexual and reproductive health of women with mental disorders is a current and emerging issue. Health professionals have an important role in meeting the health needs of these women, however, they are not always prepared to provide a resolute care. This study aimed to identify the factors that shape the sexual and reproductive health care of women with mental disorders in health services in São Vicente/Cape Verde.
This is an exploratory study with a qualitative approach, carried out with 17 professionals working in the health services network on the island of São Vicente in Cape Verde. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews between September and October 2018 and submitted to thematic analysis. The results show that cultural, educational and political factors are changers of professional practice in the field of sexual and reproductive health of women with mental disorder. It is necessary to plan interventions that take into account the influence of cultural, educational and political factors on the practice of professionals, in order to improve, in the medium and long term, the assistance to this group of women.
