Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Hospital Odilon Behrens is one of the reference hospitals that assist Victims of Sexual Abuse in Belo Horizonte in the first 72 hours after the occurrence of the abuse. OBJECTIVE: To identify the signs and symptoms developed after sexual violence as well as the various contextual factors that must be considered to understand the impact of the violence suffered on the subject when treated in the emergency room of a reference hospital. METHODOLOGY: An analysis of qualitative data collected from 187 reports made of all patients who were assisted by the psychology team at the Emergency Room and who were consequently referred to the Tutelary Council, considering male and female patients under the age of 18 years old who were assisted from January to December of 2021 was carried out. RESULTS: 79.8% of the cases were female, 38.4% were between 6 and 12 years old, the most common type of sexual disclosure was accidental detection, and the most common signs of sexual abuse were physical signs followed by emotional signs. DISCUSSION: It was noticed that the incidence of sexual abuse is underreported and that there is a great lack of knowledge about the service flow of the various devices in the network. CONCLUSION: It was not possible to find a single psychopathological profile or characteristic symptomatology for all cases of sexual abuse, underlining the relevance of analyzing the subject's subjectivity and contextual factors in caring for victims of sexual abuse.
