Restoring self-esteem and quality of life through multidisciplinary care: A cross-sectional evaluation of the Panzi One-Stop Centre model among rape survivors in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
BACKGROUND: Sexual violence in conflict settings is a major public health and social justice issue with long-lasting psychological consequences. In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the Panzi One-Stop Centre model provides integrated medical, psychosocial, legal, and socio-economic support to rape survivors. However, evidence on how different combinations of services are associated with psychosocial well-being and equity in health outcomes …
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Dyadic Adjustment, Sexual Desire, and Couple Resilience 10 Years After the Experience of Rape by Survivors in the Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo
The reintegration of survivors and their children born because of war rapes is a major issue in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. This study analyzed survivors’ posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the support received from their spouses, both in terms of their own well-being and that of their children. The PTSD form, DAS-16, Marital Support Survey, Sexual Desire Scale, and Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale tests were administered …
Stress induced by children born of rape and the parental alliance in the DR Congo
Traditional, complementary, and alternative medicine and the provision of health care to internally displaced persons in South Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo
Introduction Traditional, complementary and alternative medicine (TCAM) providers are central for many when seeking healthcare. Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) are no exception. This paper seeks to better understand the use of TCAM by IDPs and its connection with the local integration of IDPs into the social fabric of the communities where they have taken refuge. We compare IDPs and non-IDPs access to TCAM providers and their level of confide…
The roles and ethics of psychosocial support workers in integrated health services for sexual and gender-based violence survivors
Mental Health and Psychosocial Support are integral components of the multisectoral programs addressing wartime sexual violence. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, an integrated framework known as the one-stop centre model was implemented at Panzi Hospital for delivering medical, legal, psychosocial, and socioeconomic support services for wartime sexual violence survivors. While recent developments broadly described this model with more focus o…
Motivations for sexual violence in armed conflicts: Voices from combatants in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
This paper sets out to explore sexual violence in armed conflict from the perspective of the combatants themselves. We interviewed combatants in South Kivu in eastern DRC about their experiences with sexual violence, what they think causes it, and how it might be mitigated. Although respondents in this study strongly believe that sexual violence is a serious crime and an immoral act which should be avoided in their ranks, they sometimes perpetrat…
Impact of the Healing in Harmony program on women's mental health in a rural area in South Kivu province, Democratic Republic of Congo
The HiH program was associated with significant improvement in women's mental health that was sustained up to 6 months post completion of the program despite instability in the region and evidence of continued experience of conflict-related trauma during the study. These data support the value of providing psychological care in the context of ongoing humanitarian crises
