This textbook provides practical guidance to enable health
professionals to support survivors of sexual violence. It gives
insight into the complex and wide-ranging nature and experience of
sexual violence, barriers to disclosure, and explores the implications
for survivors, health professionals and healthcare organisations. An
evidence-based resource, this book provides information, guidance and
signposting for all those who might receive disclosures of sexual
violence, challenging perceptions, stigma and judgement. As well as
discussing disclosure of recent experiences, it takes into account
that life events may trigger the re-surfacing of prior experiences.
The book also operates as a practical tool, prompting professionals to
reflect on their own clinical experience of dealing with disclosures
of sexual violence. The chapters look at the full breadth of sexual
violence and abuse, including rape and sexual assault, child sexual
abuse, harassment and stalking, exploitation, trafficking, conflict
situations, traditional practices and sexual violence in LGBTQAI+
communitites. Enabling readers to develop the necessary knowledge and
understanding to inform their practice, this book is a comprehensive
resource for all health professionals, across primary and secondary
care. It is also a valuable text for those taking post-registration
courses in sexual health, specialist community and public health
nursing, district nursing, mental health and children’s nursing
among others. Reflection sections can be used to support professional
registration revalidation.
