Resumen

Introducción: Las mujeres migrantes y refugiadas enfrentan barreras multiescalares políticas, organizativas y socioculturales que comprometen el acceso a la salud sexual y reproductiva (SSR) en crisis humanitarias. Objetivo: Se analizaron las condiciones de SSR de las mujeres refugiadas en escenarios de crisis humanitarias. Métodos: Se llevó a cabo una revisión de alcance según el Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) y el protocolo PRISMA-ScR para revisiones de alcance. El mnemónico PCC (Población/Concepto/Contexto) orientó las búsquedas en Literatura Científica de América Latina y el Caribe (LILACS), Literatura Internacional en Ciencias de la Salud (Medline/PubMed), CINAHL y Scopus (Elsevier), realizadas entre febrero y abril de 2025 sin límite temporal. Se incluyeron estudios desarrollados en África, América, Europa, Oriente Medio y Asia. Veinticuatro artículos cumplieron los criterios de elegibilidad: 10 estudios cuantitativos observacionales, 6 ensayos controlados, 5 estudios cualitativos y 3 de métodos mixtos. Resultados: Se identificaron barreras macro (subfinanciamiento, cobertura de seguridad restringida), meso (sobrecarga de servicios, ausencia de intérpretes, interrupciones pandémicas) y micro (estigma, trauma, vigilancia de la pareja). Estrategias de bajo costo —autoprueba de Virus de la Inmunodeficiencia Humana (VIH) mediante aplicaciones de salud móvil (mHealth), vales obstétricos, autoayuda guiada mostraron eficacia puntual, condicionada a la confidencialidad y a la mediación cultural. Persisten lagunas críticas en higiene menstrual, violencia de género asociada a eventos climáticos y análisis de costo-efectividad. Conclusión: La equidad en SSR exige ecosistemas multiescalares que articulen financiamiento anticíclico, servicios culturalmente mediadores y tecnologías seguras, con participación activa de las propias refugiadas.
