Abstract

This phenomenological study explores the experience of reproductive healthcare providers (HCPs) who suspect patients to be survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA). Phenomenological reduction analysis, including seven universal structures, yielded a structural description of the phenomenon. The final synthesis revealed that HCPs’ intentions, in service of best care practices, are often misattuned to CSA survivors’ specific needs in reproductive healthcare. Study recommendations include validating the legitimacy of CSA’s effects on reproductive healthcare.
