Around 13 % accessed care within 72 h of rape. Multivariate analysis revealed that timely access to care (within 72 h) was negatively influenced by factors such as the isolation of the victim's health zone of residence (aOR = 0.29 [0.14-0.63], p = 0.002), the distance between the home health zone and the hospital (aOR = 0.75 [0.54-0.99], p = 0.041), instances of rape occurring in 2015 or earlier (aOR = 0.44 [0.34-0.57], p < 0.001), and referrals to the hospital from other health facilities or organizations (aOR = 0.78 [0.61-1.00], p = 0.049). Conversely, being single was positively associated with access to care within this critical period (aOR = 1.29 [1.03-1.61], p = 0.024). Furthermore, statistical trends indicate that the presence of Panzi partner NGOs in the victim's health zone might facilitate access to care (aOR = 1.33 [0.99-1.80], p = 0.057), highlighting an area of interest, while being internally displaced at the time of rape was associated with a trend towards reduced access to care (aOR = 0.78 [0.59-1.02], p = 0.068), underscoring the need for further research and targeted interventions.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>To enhance access to post-rape care, our study highlights the need for strengthened collaboration with all partnering organizations and focused efforts on raising awareness, particularly among married women and their husbands. Enhancing security measures, constructing or upgrading roads to better connect major cities with currently inaccessible or isolated areas, bolstering the efforts of both local and international NGOs, and offering comprehensive reproductive health services to internally displaced women and those residing in the victims' health zones, are crucial steps toward ensuring access to post-rape care within the critical 72-hour window.","PeriodicalId":517428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of epidemiology and population health","volume":"72 4","pages":"202534"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141441259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
