They valued access to a wide range of professionals, coordinated by a single trusted interlocutor responsible for their care pathway. Overall, participants reported improved well\u2010being since initiating MdF care. Experiences of group therapy were mixed: some participants described it as fostering supportive social interactions (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u200912), whereas others felt outperformed by other group members (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20095), leading to feelings of discouragement. Frustration arose from unmet needs related to housing and income support, the slow pace of legal proceedings, and long waiting times for appointments within the structure. When considering the planned end of care, typically after 6\u201312\u2009months, participants expressed uncertainty and fear of losing a vital source of support.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n Although women survivors of violence reported improved well\u2010being after joining the MdF, persistent unmet social and legal needs and anxiety surrounding the end of care were identified. These findings highlight the importance of early information and anticipatory planning regarding care duration and post\u2010discharge support.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/ijgo.71256","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,30]],"date-time":"2026-07-30T11:27:44Z","timestamp":1785410864000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Women's lived experiences of a coordinated multidisciplinary hospital\u2010based center for survivors of violence: A qualitative phenomenological study"],"prefix":"10.1002","author":[{"given":"Philippine","family":"Varennes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CASAVIA\u2010Maison des Femmes, Service de Gyn\u00e9cologie Obst\u00e9trique, H\u00f4pital Piti\u00e9 Salp\u00e9tri\u00e8re AP\u2010HP Sorbonne Universit\u00e9 Paris France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sophie","family":"Duchesne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CASAVIA\u2010Maison des Femmes, Service de Gyn\u00e9cologie Obst\u00e9trique, H\u00f4pital Piti\u00e9 Salp\u00e9tri\u00e8re AP\u2010HP Sorbonne Universit\u00e9 Paris France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeannette","family":"Vigneron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CASAVIA\u2010Maison des Femmes, Service de Gyn\u00e9cologie Obst\u00e9trique, H\u00f4pital Piti\u00e9 Salp\u00e9tri\u00e8re AP\u2010HP Sorbonne Universit\u00e9 Paris France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9800-4525","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marc","family":"Dommergues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CASAVIA\u2010Maison des Femmes, Service de Gyn\u00e9cologie Obst\u00e9trique, H\u00f4pital Piti\u00e9 Salp\u00e9tri\u00e8re AP\u2010HP Sorbonne Universit\u00e9 Paris France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","unstructured":"Wave 2024 report.
