title: [Contextual analysis of gynaecological care provided to women with physical disability].
abstract: This is a theoretical-reflective study that aimed to analyze the contexts associated with gynaecological care for women with physical disabilities. Discussion consisted of contextual analysis according to Hinds, Chaves and Cypress, leading to four interconnected layers: immediate, specific, general and metacontext. Analysis showed that gynaecological assistance to clients with physical disabilities is influenced by attitudinal, structural, financial and informational barriers. Other influential issues are social beliefs and stigmas and the persistence of a biomedical model, which is hegemonic in this type of assistance. Therefore, gynaecological care must be valued based on the holistic paradigm offered by a transdisciplinary team in orderto provide quality care to women with physical disabilities.
