[The (un)receptive experiences of female rape victims who seek healthcare services]. / Vivência de (des)acolhimento por mulheres vítimas de estupro que buscam os serviços de saúde.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To know the structure and functioning of healthcare services from the perspective of women who have suffered rape. METHOD: A qualitative study conducted with 11 women who experienced rape, monitored in a maternity in the state of Alagoas, Brazil. Data were systematically based on content analysis. RESULTS: It allowed for understanding the path taken by women in search of support from health services, as well as the limitations and capabilities of these services. CONCLUSION: The assistance received in healthcare services leans towards a revictimization process of women who already carry trauma from the rape. It is necessary to reflect about care practices aimed at sexually victimized women.
