A atuação do Enfermeiro na assistência humanizada a mulheres vítimas de violência sexual

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of nurses in providing humanized care to women who are victims of sexual violence, emphasizing the importance of practices that promote comprehensive, respectful, and sensitive care tailored to the specific needs of these patients. The research was conducted through an integrative literature review using databases such as PubMed, SciELO, andLILACS, with descriptors such as "nursing," "humanized care," "sexual violence," and "women's health care." Articles published between 2018 and 2023 inPortuguese and English were selected based on relevance, methodological quality, and contribution to the topic. The results highlight that nurses play an essential role not only in delivering physical care but also in providing emotional support to women who are victims of sexual violence. They are also responsible for guiding and referring patients to complementary Services such as psychological support, legal assistance, and social protection networks, ensuring a multidisciplinary approach. Humanized care is indispensable for minimizing trauma, respecting women’s autonomy, dignity, and privacy, and significantly contributing to their physical, emotional, and social recovery. The study emphasizes the importance of training nursing professionals to deal with the complexity of this type of care, including implementing specific protocols that address the ethical, technical, and emotional dimensions of care. It concludes that investing in the education and continuous improvement of nurses, as well as in the structuring of humanized Services, is essential to improve the quality of care provided and the effectiveness of the interventions carried out.
