Sexual Assault: Women are Surviving Sexual Assault Only to Die from Preventative Gynecological Medical Care
Lifesaving preventative medical procedures like Pap screenings might maintain power imbalances between patient and practitioner. The patient may feel helpless because the physician is the subject matter expert during the exam. A perceived power difference in examinations can weaken the patient and unintentionally re-enact trauma, strengthening their sense of helplessness.
Trauma Informed Care (TIC) can be used to better understand and treat trauma in women’s health care. Sexual abuse is traumatic and can affect health and well-being for life. TIC’s goal is to make patients feel supported, understood, and safe. Trauma violence is common, and TIC-informed medical providers are aware of how it may affect patients. TIC-integrated services can help patients trust medical practitioners more. Medical Providers can use the TIC model help create a safe and empowering patient environment, thus saving lives.
Learning Objectives:
- Why should we care about Sexual Assault Survivors and Preventative Gynecological Care?
- What is Trauma Informed Care? 3. Why is this important for the Social Work profession?
- What can we do as a community, to bridge the gap between mental health and physical health?
