Download or read book Emergency Department Providers Treatment of Sexual Assault Victims written by Krystel Josephene Tossone and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: The study sought to address the disparity of sexual assault service delivery in emergency departments using a two part sequential mixed methods study with physicians and nurses. Methods: The first part of the study employed retrospective medical chart review (n = 112) at two ED sites within an Akron, Ohio health system. The second part of the study employed semi-structured open-ended interviewing with 13 ED providers who treated at least two sexual assault patients during the chart review year. Results: The highest offered service is the sexual assault forensic examination (92.7% of patients). The lowest offered service is HIV PEP (0 patients). On average, few providers offered STD testing, pregnancy testing, and HIV testing more than 50% of the time. Providers believed they offered services more often than chart review reported. Reasons for not offering HIV PEP include the cost of HIV PEP to the patient, the lack of patient adherence to the medication due to side effects, and the low risk of contracting HIV. A major sub-theme focused on the perceived impact of the loss of the SANE program two years prior. Generally there is little pattern among themes by service delivery performance. Conclusion: Compared to other studies, compliance with suggested treatment guidelines is lower in some service delivery behaviors. There are perceived multiple levels of impact in service delivery for SA patients. Many providers perceive the loss of the SANE program as detrimentally impactful to service delivery quality. Recommendations for future research and improvements to the current system of treatment are discussed.

She analyzes the ways in which nurses work to collect and preserve evidence while addressing the needs of sexual assault victims as patients.Mulla argues that blending the work of care and forensic investigation into a single intervention shapes how victims of violence understand their own suffering, recovery, and access to justice-in short, what it means to be a "victim".
Download or read book Responding to Intimate Partner Violence and Sexual Violence Against Women written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2013 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A health-care provider is likely to be the first professional contact for survivors of intimate partner violence or sexual assault. Evidence suggests that women who have been subjected to violence seek health care more often than non-abused women, even if they do not disclose the associated violence. They also identify health-care providers as the professionals they would most trust with disclosure of abuse. These guidelines are an unprecedented effort to equip healthcare providers with evidence-based guidance as to how to respond to intimate partner violence and sexual violence against women. They also provide advice for policy makers, encouraging better coordination and funding of services, and greater attention to responding to sexual violence and partner violence within training programmes for health care providers. The guidelines are based on systematic reviews of the evidence, and cover: 1. identification and clinical care for intimate partner violence 2. clinical care for sexual assault 3. training relating to intimate partner violence and sexual assault against women 4. policy and programmatic approaches to delivering services 5. mandatory reporting of intimate partner violence. The guidelines aim to raise awareness of violence against women among health-care providers and policy-makers, so that they better understand the need for an appropriate health-sector response. They provide standards that can form the basis for national guidelines, and for integrating these issues into health-care provider education.

Download or read book The Rape Crisis Intervention Handbook written by S.L. McCombie and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook is intended to be a comprehensive resource for those in volved in providing crisis intervention to rape victims. The medical, legal, and counseling needs of the rape victim are presented to prepare helping professionals to offer sensitive and skillful assistance to women who have suffered sexual assault. The interdisciplinary thrust of the book reflects our conviction that health professionals, police, and prosecuting attorneys must share their expertise and coordinate their efforts in order to successfully meet the multiple needs of rape victims and their families. While an exten sive literature on rape has developed in the past decade, to the best of our knowledge there is no single source for the practical treatment-oriented information sought by those who work directly with victims. The primary objective of this book is to offer just such a guide to service providers. The book is organized into sections that deal with a specific area of the treatment of victims. Detailed guidelines are provided for the nursing, med ical, counseling, police, and legal services involved in comprehensive crisis intervention. Interdisciplinary teaming and the emotional impact of rape on service providers are discussed by authors actively involved in rape crisis work. Rape laws are explained and court preparation for victim-witnesses is carefully outlined. Of particular relevance to counselors is an overview of crisis theory and a psychodynamic perspective on rape trauma.
