Abstract EN
Background : Victims of sexual assault need comprehensive healthcare services to deal with the consequences of their experience.
However, there are still many girls/women that delay seeking healthcare after they experience sexual assault.
Objectives : To explore the process of health care and clinical services for victims of sexual assault in the health care centers of Iran.
Patients and Methods: This was a qualitative study based on the grounded theory method.
The sample consisted of 23 health care providers and 10 victims of sexual violence.
Unstructured interviews and observations were used for data collection.
Constant comparative analysis was used according to the Strauss and Corbin method.
Results : The analysis of all data led to the extraction of four categories: “performing routines”, “victims’ expectations”, “conflict between expectations of victims and existing healthcare services”, and the core category of “neglect of healthcare providers to address the needs and expectations of victims”.
Providers were offering health care to the victims of sexual violence regardless of their needs.
Due to this neglect, victims sought illegal solutions to overcome the consequences that led to social stigma.
Conclusions : The findings indicate the lack of mutual understanding between health care providers and victims of sexual violence in relation to the expectations and priorities of victims.
