TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - Pregnancy resulting from rape JO - Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic, and Neonatal Nursing A1 - Lathrop, A. SP - 25 EP - 31 VL - 27 IS - 1 N2 - Pregnancy resulting from rape is more prevalent than generally recognized, and violations of women's sexual and reproductive self-determination take many forms. Four themes--relationship rape, power dynamics, maternal ambivalence, and social reactions and support--can be identified in one woman's experiences and the literature. Recommended interventions, based on a woman-centered empowerment framework, include safety assessment, formulating a safety plan, and facilitating social support. Emergency postcoital contraception is a preventive option.
