    Sexual violence is a crime against individual integrity and sexual freedom. It affects women of all socioeconomic levels, and the perpetrator does not choose the victim's color or age. It is a source of high financial cost and a serious public health problem in Brazil. The current study aimed to assess compliance with outpatient follow-up by women victims of sexual violence treated at the Center for Women's Comprehensive Healthcare at the State University in Campinas, Sao Paulo State, from January 2000 to December 2006. We observed a significant increase in the return for scheduled appointments. In 2000, 41% of the women completed the six-month follow-up, and by 2006 the proportion had increased to 70%. Some 70% of the women appeared for treatment within 24 hours after being raped. Sexual assault by perpetrators known to the victims tripled during this same period. There were changes in the forms of intimidation and a significant decreased in prescription of emergency contraception.27470171

    The aim of this study was to characterize the nursing care, provided to women who suffered sexual violence, treated at The Women&#39;s Hospital-CAISM/UNICAMP. A retrospective, descriptive study performed using 146 nursing care records of women attended from June 2006 to May 2007. The results showed that the majority of attendances occurred during the day period, that there was consistency between the interventions and the nursing diagnoses identified, and that women reported having received guidance in accordance with the protocol of the program. The nursing consultation time was greater at night (p=0.0227) and the women frequently understood the health risks resulting from sexual violence (p=0.0072), the use of antiretrovirals according to their daily activities (p=0.0397) and they were more focused on the purpose of the serology (p=0.0351). We concluded that the care provided was shown to be appropriate and of a better quality in the nightshift period.<br>Nuestro objetivo fue caracterizar la asistencia prestada por los enfermeros a las mujeres que sufrieron violencia sexual atendidas en el Hospital de la Mujer-CAISM (UNICAMP).

    Este estudo apresenta aspectos epidemiolĂłgicos e clĂ­nicos da violĂȘncia contra a mulher, utilizando trĂȘs fontes de dados: prontuĂĄrios mĂ©dicos do Hospital de ClĂ­nicas de UberlĂąndia, Minas Gerais, Brasil, (HCU); fichas de atendimento da ONG SOS Ação Mulher FamĂ­lia (ONG SOS Mulher); laudos de perĂ­cia de lesĂ”es corporais e de necropsias do Posto MĂ©dico Legal (PML). No HCU e no PML, os atendimentos foram decorrentes principalmente por agressĂŁo fĂ­sica, nĂŁo havendo alusĂŁo Ă  violĂȘncia psicolĂłgica nos prontuĂĄrios mĂ©dicos e nos laudos, revelando que em serviços de atenção primĂĄria Ă  saĂșde esta violĂȘncia Ă© evidenciada somente em pesquisas pĂłs-entrevistas com as vĂ­timas. Na ONG SOS Mulher foram observadas principalmente as violĂȘncias psicolĂłgica e fĂ­sica. Nas trĂȘs fontes pesquisadas houve baixa ocorrĂȘncia da violĂȘncia sexual, corroborando dados da literatura que retrata a invisibilidade desta questĂŁo, principalmente da violĂȘncia sexual conjugal sofrida pelas mulheres que buscam ajuda nesses serviços. Os dados da presente pesquisa permitem concluir que os tipos de violĂȘncia contra a mulher nesses trĂȘs diferentes serviços pĂșblicos de saĂșde e social, em UberlĂąndia, diferenciam-se conforme as caracterĂ­sticas especĂ­ficas dos serviços oferecidos nessas instituiçÔes.<br>This study analyzes epidemiological and clinical aspects of violence against women, using three data sources: medical records at the University Hospital in UberlĂąndia, Minas Gerais State, Brazil; treatment forms from the nongovernmental organization SOS Action for Women and Families; forensic reports on bodily injuries and autopsies from the Medical Examiner's Office. At the University Hospital and Medical Examiner's Office, the records related mainly to physical aggression, with no reference to psychological abuse in the medical charts or forensic reports, revealing that in primary health care services, such violence is only identified through post-aggression interviews with victims. Records at the nongovernmental organization referred mainly to psychological and physical abuse. The three sources showed little reference to sexual violence, corroborating data from the literature on this issue's invisibility, especially conjugal sexual violence suffered by women that seek treatment at these services. According to the current study's findings, the types of violence against women recorded at these three public health and social services differ according to the specific characteristics of the services they provide
