The interviews were performed at a specialised walk\u2010in clinic at a university hospital in the interior of S\u00e3o Paulo State, Brazil. A thematic analysis of the content led to the identification of the following themes: (1) impact and meaning of the violence; (2) feelings; (3) overcoming the violence and (4) expectations for the future.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Sexual violence had a devastating impact on the lives of these women. The women's postviolence experiences caused feelings of guilt, impotence, fragility and immobility. These experiences also instilled a belief that they may have \u2018provoked\u2019 the violence. Nevertheless, the women showed resilience, investing all of their energy in returning their lives to pre\u2010violence conditions. Family, friends and other important people, as well as the care that the women received from health services, were cited as factors that sustained this attitude of resilience.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Providing appropriate care to female victims of sexual assault requires not only treating the physical damage caused by the violence but also evaluating the particularities of the experience's emotional impact on each woman and the psychosocial repercussions of the experience.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Relevance to clinical practice<\/jats:title><jats:p>Health professionals should follow up with women during their recovery period.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jocn.13247","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,3]],"date-time":"2016-05-03T15:50:49Z","timestamp":1462290649000},"page":"2353-2361","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["\u2018It's much worse than dying\u2019: the experiences of female victims of sexual violence"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Maria Jos\u00e9","family":"dos Reis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Campinas Campinas SP Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria Helena Baena de Moraes","family":"Lopes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing University of Campinas Campinas SP Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria Jos\u00e9 Duarte","family":"Osis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CEMICAMP (Center for Maternal\u2010Child Research of Campinas) University of Campinas Campinas SP Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(13)62243-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/088626000015009004"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1559827611409512"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/S0102-311X2007000200024"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","unstructured":"Brasil\u2010 Secretaria de Pol\u00edticas para as Mulheres Presid\u00eancia da Rep\u00fablica (2010)Norms for Standardization of the Women's Police Stations.
