| description | The aim was to investigate aspects of sexual violence and the victims’ adherence to outpatient follow-up. This transversal study involved retrospective data collection in a specialized service in the Brazilian state of Paraná. The collection was undertaken between February and May 2014 from the notification files of 2009 – 2013. A total of 1,272 persons who had been the victims of sexual assault was attended; 53.46% of them were aged between 12 and 18 years old, and 94.65% were female. In more than half of the cases, the aggressor was unknown (53.38%), the aggression took place in homes (39.30%) and on public highways (35%), at night (50.33%) and, in 96.67% of cases, there was vaginal penetration. Indication of Post-Exposure Prophylaxis to the victims took place in 76.4% of cases and emergency contraception was administered to 64.77% of the women. Only 19.54% completed the outpatient follow-up. The evidence indicates the need for attendance strategies which motivate the victim of sexual violence to complete treatment. |
