Abstract

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to describe a sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE) program at a hospital-based sexual assault care center in Ontario, Canada, and assess its efficacy in comparison with physician examiners. METHODS Data obtained from the hospital records of 515 women who came to a Toronto sexual assault care center were examined. A number of variables relevant to this assessment of services were examined, including client demographics and presenting history, aspects of the sexual assault, and characteristics of the treatment. RESULTS Average assessment times were shorter for victims seen by SANEs than for victims seen by physicians (approximately 3(1/4) hours versus 4 hours). Physicians had more interruptions (25.1%) than did SANEs (20.0%). Client characteristics and presentation were similar regardless of who provided care, with some exceptions. DISCUSSION The results of the study support the utility of the SANE model as an efficient program for the assessment and treatment of victims of sexual assault.

加拿大一家医院2年的性侵犯护士审查员项目的效果。

本研究的目的是描述加拿大安大略省一家医院性侵犯护理中心的性侵犯护士审查员(SANE)计划，并评估其与医师审查员的比较效果。方法对来多伦多某性侵犯护理中心就诊的515名妇女的病历资料进行分析。研究了与服务评估相关的一些变量，包括客户人口统计数据和呈现历史、性侵犯的各个方面以及治疗的特点。结果SANEs患者的平均评估时间短于医师患者(约3(1/4)小时vs . 4小时)。内科医生(25.1%)比SANEs(20.0%)有更多的中断。除了一些例外，无论谁提供护理，患者的特征和表现都是相似的。讨论:研究结果支持了SANE模型作为评估和治疗性侵犯受害者的有效方案的实用性。
