Abstract

Abstract: Transgender individuals represent a gender minority population that has been underserved within the healthcare system and underrepresented in population health and sexuality research, specifically as it pertains to sexual assault. This case report aims to explore how sexual assault nurse examiners (SANEs) approach the care of transgender people who have survived sexual assault. Key components and findings related to the SANE's encounter will be examined including an evaluation of the biases and assumptions held by the SANE and other healthcare providers. Concepts such as cisnormativity, heteronormativity, and intersectionality will be examined in terms of how these can shape the experience of the survivor, influence the care provided by SANEs, and interact with gender stereotypes and nonaffirming practices faced by transgender people. This case report highlights the importance of acknowledging and undermining nursing approaches that can (re)traumatize sexual assault survivors and explores ways in which SANEs can help to shift views of gender and bodies with the goal of providing better care for gender minority populations.

一名性侵护士审查员关于照顾一名变性幸存者的叙述:一份案例报告。

摘要:变性人是一个性别少数群体，在医疗保健系统中服务不足，在人口健康和性研究中代表性不足，特别是在性侵犯方面。本案例报告旨在探讨性侵犯护理审查员(SANEs)如何对待性侵犯幸存者的变性人。将审查与SANE遭遇有关的关键组成部分和调查结果，包括对SANE和其他医疗保健提供者持有的偏见和假设的评估。将研究顺规范性、异性规范性和交叉性等概念如何塑造幸存者的经历，影响SANEs提供的护理，以及与性别刻板印象和跨性别者面临的不肯定做法相互作用。本病例报告强调了承认和破坏可能(再次)给性侵犯幸存者造成创伤的护理方法的重要性，并探讨了SANEs如何帮助转变对性别和身体的看法，从而为性别少数群体提供更好的护理。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Forensic Nursing (JFN) the official journal of the International Association of Forensic Nurses, is a groundbreaking publication that addresses health care issues that transcend health and legal systems by articulating nursing’s response to violence. The journal features empirical studies, review and theoretical articles, methodological and concept papers, and case reports that address the provision of care to victims and perpetrators of violence, trauma, and abuse. Topics include interpersonal violence (sexual assault, abuse, intimate partner violence); death investigation; legal and ethical issues; forensic mental health nursing; correctional nursing; and emergency and trauma nursing.
