Abstract

Background: Sexual assaults are currently a growing issue, causing severe consequences for the victims. In addition to the traumatic event itself, these victims are exposed to the risk of secondary victimization during the healthcare and legal processes. Current studies show that the existing interventions have significant deficiencies, increasing the likelihood of re victimization. Objective: The aim of this review is to research on how professionals engage with these victims and to identify the needs and deficiencies they perceive. Methodology: Nine qualitative studies were reviewed, focusing on the perception of professionals intervening with victims of sexual assaults regarding their interventions. Participants in these studies include professionals from healthcare, social services, law enforcement, and legal fields. Results: Findings indicate that professionals perceive a lack of adequate training, skills (with victims, other professionals, and self-care), standardized protocols, resources, and institutional support. They assert that these factors hinder the effectiveness of interventions and result in unfavorable outcomes.Conclusions: It is necessary to address certain unmet needs, such the limited perceived self-efficacy of some professionals in treating victims of sexual assault, reinforcing communication skills, and establishing specific protocols for specific populations (men and people from the LGBTI community).
