▼ Obstetric fistula is a medical condition in which a woman develops a hole between the vagina and rectum or the bladder during delivery. In West Pokot, this condition attracts social stigma, abandonment, seclusion and isolation of the woman from family and general community. In this sense, obstetric fistula which is a medical condition has caused a social problem in the region. The condition is treated by corrective surgery. This exploratory study examined the problems faced by obstetric fistula survivors and challenges of re-integrating back into the community women who have undergone corrective surgery in West Pokot, Kenya. The main study objective was to explore the social stigma faced by obstetric fistula survivors and its effect on their reintegration into society. In-depth interviews, key informant interviews and focus group discussions were used to collect data. Eight women, aged between seventeen and thirty years, who had previously undergone obstetric fistula corrective surgery were interviewed. Questions about their experiences of living with obstetric fistula and the factors that influenced their reintegration after surgery were posed. Particularly, their experience of social stigma was explored. A focused group discussion consisting of obstetric fistula survivors, some who had earlier participated in the in-depth interviews was held to shed more light on the topic. Community members participated in a separate focus group discussion. Key informant interviews were held with two traditional birth attendants, surgeons, nurses and social workers in the district. The focus of the interviews was to provide information on how they manage/ support women with obstetric fistula, particularly the reintegration of fistula survivors into the community. The interviews andsdiscussions were taped then transcribed. In addition note taking was also employed to guard against technological failures. Thematic data analysis based on grounded theory techniques was used to analyze the data. The obstetric fistula survivors were mostly young women aged between seventeen and thirty years, with low literacy levels and were either divorced, separated or living with the,-\: husbands. Most of the survivors developed obstetric fistula delivering their first child. However a few had other children before the birth that caused the fistula. Survivors VI interviewed had lived with the condition for periods ranging between two to five years before surgery. The study established that social stigma which continues even after surgery is a major challenge that the women have to deal with daily, posing a great challenge to the reintegration of survivors. The stigma originates from the cultural beliefs and practices of the Pokot community. Fistula survivors who experienced social stigma after surgery were more likely to have problems coping with reintegration than those who didn't. There were other challenges of coping with after surgery instructions; divorce and separation; poverty and infertility that must be…

▼ Resumen Este trabajo de investigación se centra en el análisis de las vivencias de mujeres que han sufrido la fístula obstétrica en el estado regional de Tigray, Etiopía. La fístula obstétrica es una rotura entre la vejiga y la vagina o entre el recto y la vagina, provocada normalmente por un parto prolongado y obstruido. En la mayoría de los casos, este problema de salud se produce en embarazos a edades tempranas, comprendidas entre trece y dieciocho años, cuando el cuerpo no está suficientemente desarrollado para dar a luz. Debido a ello, provoca a las mujeres incontinencia de los orines o de las heces, desprendiendo un olor fuerte y desagradable, viviendo avergonzadas, escondidas en sus propias casas por el miedo a que el vecindario les discrimine y sintiéndose culpables por pensar que no han sido buenas esposas y madres y que por ello reciben un castigo divino. Esta exclusión de los cuerpos se justifican con que los desechos del cuerpo, como la orina, las heces o la menstruación se consideran materia marginal y, por lo tanto, el cuerpo de las mujeres será considerado repugnante, asociándolo con la parte animal de los seres humanos y excluyéndolos de la sociedad. Para entender mejor esta problemática hay que ir más allá del discurso médico y tener en cuenta factores culturales, tradicionales y religiosas. Para llevar a cabo esta investigación etnográfica feminista, he realizado trece entrevistas con las mujeres intervenidas de la fístula en la zona rural del estado regional de Tigray, Etiopía, con el fin de conocer las historias de vida de estas mujeres que durante años han sido marginadas y homogenizadas. Mediante la observación participante, he podido observar el día a día de estas mujeres y cómo las tradiciones desempeñan un papel importante en las vidas de las mujeres etíopes. En las entrevistas exploro el proceso de estas mujeres desde que toman conciencia de su incontinencia urinaria y piensan que solamente les afecta a ellas hasta que se dan cuenta de que no es un problema individual y privado, sino que se trata de una problemática social con tratamiento médico y que otras mujeres también sufre el mismo problema. Por lo tanto, lo que quiero conseguir con este trabajo es traer sus vivencias desde la esfera privada a la pública para conocer sus realidades en los discursos públicos. Una vez realizada la investigación planteo un programa de sensibilización y prevención para las escuelas públicas en torno a los derechos sexuales y reproductivos y, específicamente, la prevención de la fístula y del prolapso uterino en el estado regional de Tigray. Abstract This research focuses on the experiences of women who have been living with obstetric fistula in the regional state of Tigray, Ethiopia. Obstetric fistula is a tear between the bladder and the vagina or between the rectum and the vagina caused by a long and obstructed labor. Often, this health problem is due to early-age pregnancy, ranging from thirteen to eighteen, when girl´s body is not yet mature enough to give birth. As a result, women suffer of… Advisors/Committee Members: Quinan, Christine.

▼

Obstetric fistula is a severe obstetric morbidity. Consequences of fistula (stillbirth, incontinence, foot drop, stigma, etc.) change the life course of those still suffering from it in sub-Saharan Africa. Obstetric fistula management aims a multidisciplinary and holistic approach. Yet, scientific research and health system interventions mainly focus on surgery. One hundred and thirty four women were interviewed during and after their fistula treatment in Mali and Niger. Results highlighted a great diversity in patients’ paths: some just arrived in the fistula center; others stayed there for several months or kept coming back. All remained vulnerable. Women perceived obstetric fistula as a chronic and debilitating disease. They were in search of '' normality '' as much as continence. Obstetric fistula management period resulted in intertwined positive and adverse effects on women’s health and future prospects.

La fistule obstétricale est une morbidité obstétricale grave. Ses conséquences (enfant mort-né, incontinence, stigma, etc.) modifient le cours de la vie des femmes qui en sont encore victimes en Afrique subsaharienne. La prise en charge de la fistule obstétricale se veut multidisciplinaire et holistique. Dans la recherche scientifique comme dans le système de santé, elle reste néanmoins centrée sur la chirurgie. A travers l’expérience de 134 femmes rencontrées pendant et après leur prise en charge au Mali et au Niger, cette recherche met en évidence les parcours très diversifiés des patientes : certaines viennent d’arriver au centre de prise en charge d’autres y sont, ou y reviennent, depuis plusieurs mois. Toutes restent vulnérables. Les femmes perçoivent la fistule comme une maladie chronique et invalidante. Elles sont autant en quête de ‘‘normalité’’ que de continence. La période de prise en charge n’influence pas que favorablement leur santé et leurs perspectives d’avenir.
