SUMMARY:

The construction of an analytical thought about access and use in quilombola communities requires a broad look, going beyond the conceptual understanding of the fact. This is linked to the historical and social contexts in which these communities emerge. In this sense, the analyses on health conditions, access and use of reproductive health services by quilombola communities are investigated according to the socioeconomic and cultural situations in which they live. This work is partially derived from the analysis of the database of a pilot research on women's reproductive autonomy and the participation of partners in their reproductive choices, taking as locus the quilombola communities of Porto da Pedra and Giral Grande. In this study, according to the literature findings, we propose a hypothesis: access to and use of reproductive health services by quilombola women with lower income and older is higher than in women with lower age and higher income. The general objective of this research is to analyze the access and use of reproductive health services by quilombola women from the communities of Porto da Pedra and Giral Grande and specific; to identify the sociodemographic and reproductive profile of quilombola women; to analyze the access and use of quilombola women in prenatal care, childbirth, cervical cancer prevention, and mammography; to analyze the relationship between income and age in the access and use of reproductive health services. We selected 60 quilombola women of reproductive age between 18 and 49 years old, who have had or have partners in the rural quilombola communities of Giral Grande and Porto da Pedra, located in the country side of Maragogipe in the Recôncavo Baiano. This research is of the exploratory cross-sectional type and has a quantitative approach, where, initially, univariate descriptive analysis was performed with frequency distribution of the variables that characterize the profile of respondents, as well as access to and use of health services offered by the country side.
Next, a bivariate descriptive analysis was performed in order to evaluate and understand the relationships between the variables that make up the sociodemographic profile and the variables of access to and use of health services. It is worth pointing out that Chi-square tests were performed to assess possible associations between the variables of interest, but all were not statistically significant. The results of the research showed that older women with lower income use more reproductive health services, even though these are not covered by the SUS. The factors of geographic location, lack of information, and absence of UBS in the studied communities served as barriers to the access and use of reproductive health services. The experiences of normal home births were higher in women with higher age and lower income.
