Metodología: Se abordó un relato biográfico de naturaleza cualitativa, constructivista y fenomenológica. Resultados principales: Del análisis sistemático y de contenido, emergieron los temas: el trabajo sexual como una alternativa de vida; el estigma y la discriminación por la identidad ocupacional; la falta de una atención en salud preventiva, humanizada e incluyente; la necesaria autoestima para autocuidarse; la psicología informal como método de cribaje del cliente; el saber profesional en prácticas protectoras y de cuidado; las brechas y dificultades para el uso del condón masculino; y la necesidad de una política pública con mirada de género e inclusiva. Conclusión: La narrativa refleja la necesidad de afrontar las barreras para el autocuidado de la salud sexual, mediante metodologías participativas e inclusivas que promuevan la cooperación de políticas, estrategias e intervenciones en salud preventiva congruentes con las necesidades de las mujeres trabajadoras sexuales.

          Abstract Objective: To explore the perceived barriers to sexual health self-care of a 57-year-old cisgender woman in sex worker situation. Methods: A biographical account of a qualitative, constructivist and phenomenological nature was addressed. Results: From the systematic and content analysis, the following themes emerged: sex work as a life alternative; stigma and discrimination due to occupational identity; the lack of preventive, humanized and inclusive health care; the necessary self-esteem to care for oneself; informal psychology as a method of screening the client; professional knowledge in protective and care practices; gaps and difficulties in the use of the male condom; and the need for a public policy with a gender and inclusive perspective. Conclusions: The narrative reflects the need to address the barriers to sexual health self-care, through participatory and inclusive methodologies that promote the cooperation of preventive health policies, strategies, and interventions consistent with the needs of female sex workers.

          How phenomenology can help us learn from the experiences of others

          Introduction As a research methodology, phenomenology is uniquely positioned to help health professions education (HPE) scholars learn from the experiences of others. Phenomenology is a form of qualitative research that focuses on the study of an individual’s lived experiences within the world. Although it is a powerful approach for inquiry, the nature of this methodology is often intimidating to HPE researchers. This article aims to explain phenomenology by reviewing the key philosophical and methodological differences between two of the major approaches to phenomenology: transcendental and hermeneutic. Understanding the ontological and epistemological assumptions underpinning these approaches is essential for successfully conducting phenomenological research. Purpose This review provides an introduction to phenomenology and demonstrates how it can be applied to HPE research. We illustrate the two main sub-types of phenomenology and detail their ontological, epistemological, and methodological differences. Conclusions Phenomenology is a powerful research strategy that is well suited for exploring challenging problems in HPE. By building a better understanding of the nature of phenomenology and working to ensure proper alignment between the specific research question and the researcher’s underlying philosophy, we hope to encourage HPE scholars to consider its utility when addressing their research questions.

            Prostitution Stigma and Its Effect on the Working Conditions, Personal Lives, and Health of Sex Workers

            Researchers have shown that stigma is a fundamental determinant of behavior, well-being, and health for many marginalized groups, but sex workers are notably absent from their analyses. This article aims to fill the empirical research gap on sex workers by reviewing the mounting evidence of stigmatization attached to sex workers' occupation, often referred to as "prostitution" or "whore" stigma. We give special attention to its negative effect on the working conditions, personal lives, and health of sex workers. The article first draws attention to the problem of terminology related to the subject area and makes the case for consideration of prostitution stigmatization as a fundamental cause of social inequality. We then examined the sources of prostitution stigma at macro, meso, and micro levels. The third section focuses on tactics sex workers employ to manage, reframe, or resist occupational stigma. We conclude with a call for more comparative studies of stigma related to sex work to contribute to the general stigma literature, as well as social policy and law reform.

              Systematic review of sex work interventions in sub-Saharan Africa: examining combination prevention approaches.

              The incidence of HIV and sexually transmitted infections is disproportionately high among sex workers (SW). We aimed to update the evidence on the effectiveness of SW interventions in sub-Saharan Africa and to provide more insights into combination prevention.
