Narrativas de vítimas de violência sexual sobre o atendimento na área de saúde

Abstract

Sexual violence against women is a complex issue, which has its roots in gender inequality and can have, among several consequences for the victim's life, the irruption of an unwanted pregnancy. Thus, we aim to investigate the emotional experience of women rape victims, who have had the legal termination of pregnancy, regarding the care offered to them in the area of health. Four women, whose ages ranged from 18 to 27 years old, were interviewed and were being accompanied in an outpatient clinic specialized in the care of women victims of sexual violence. The interviews were mediated by an interactive storytelling, which was created exclusively for this research, in order to facilitate the free association of the women interviewed. Thus, each participant created an outcome for the narrative. After the interviews, transferential narratives were written by the researcher who conducted the meetings. The material was analyzed according to the psychoanalytical method, being organized by the Field Theory. From the interviews it was possible to identify the field "Paralysis: when it becomes impossible to enter the medical office", which allows us to weave reflections on the various setbacks that these women encountered to ask for professional help, as well as the movements of confrontation that they assumed. It is hoped that from this study it will be possible to foster a more humanized service to these women.
