Abstract

Aims: To synthesize healthcare experiences of victims of sex trafficking, identify common challenges, and inform improvements for healthcare.

Methods: Using Arksey and O'Malley's framework and the PRISMA-ScR checklist, we reviewed CINAHL, Embase, and PubMed databases for studies published between 2010 and 2024 involving interviews with trafficked individuals and were categorized for thematic synthesis.

Results: Of 155 articles, 16 met inclusion criteria, and involved 669 people who had experienced trafficking. Participants across studies identified reasons for and barriers to seeking healthcare, and their perceptions and recommendations about clinicians' attitudes, law enforcement, and recognizing trafficking. Participants emphasized the need for better clinician training, stronger policies, greater patient autonomy, and a more supportive clinical environment.

Conclusions: Gaps persist in healthcare for trafficked individuals. Collaboration among healthcare workers, especially forensic nurses, is essential, along with enhancing trauma-informed interventions and closing gaps in quality care.

性交易受害者和幸存者的医疗保健经验、观点和建议：范围审查。

目的：综合性交易受害者的保健经验，确定共同的挑战，并告知保健方面的改进措施。方法：使用Arksey和O'Malley的框架和PRISMA-ScR检查表，我们回顾了2010年至2024年间发表的CINAHL、Embase和PubMed数据库中涉及贩运个人访谈的研究，并进行了主题综合分类。结果：155篇文章中，16篇符合纳入标准，涉及669名经历过人口贩运的人。各研究的参与者确定了寻求医疗保健的原因和障碍，以及他们对临床医生的态度、执法和认识贩运的看法和建议。与会者强调需要更好的临床医生培训、更强有力的政策、更大的患者自主权和更支持性的临床环境。结论：贩运人口的保健方面仍然存在差距。卫生保健工作者，特别是法医护士之间的合作至关重要，同时还要加强创伤知情干预措施，缩小优质护理方面的差距。
