Abstract

Approximately 1 in 20 women will experience sexual violence at some point in her life. The negative health consequences to women can be serious and lifelong, prompting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization to declare sexual violence a public health problem. Nurses, in their provision of care to individuals and communities, can contribute to improved outcomes related to the problem of sexual violence through the application of preventive care practices.
