Patients' experiences of abuse in health care: a Nordic study on prevalence and associated factors in gynecological patients.

Background: In an earlier Swedish study conducted with The NorVold Abuse Questionnaire, we found that one-third of female patients who had experienced adult abuse in health care (AAHC) had a background of childhood emotional, physical and/or sexual abuse (EPSA) ('revictimised'). But since the majority of women with AAHC were 'new victims' without such a background, there might be other factors associated with AAHC. The present study aimed to map prevalence of abuse in health care (AHC), and associated variables among new victims and revictimised patients.

[Sexually transmitted infections and sexual violence against women. Guidelines for examination, prophylactic treatment and follow-up].

Based upon a literature search, but also considering the situation in Denmark, guidelines for examination, prophylactic treatment and follow-up of female victims of sexual assault have been prepared. A pragmatic attitude, looking upon the victim's situation and fear of having acquired a sexually transmitted infection, has been prevailing in order to avoid unnecessary examinations and treatments. The guidelines are directed towards female victims in whom the assault has included vaginal, oral, and/or anal penetration or attempt of penetration.
