    Health professions students working with sexual assault victims experienced increased self-awareness and confidence. Some developed coping strategies, while others showed trauma symptoms, highlighting the need for faculty support.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Psychology
    • Sociology

    Background:

    • Health professions students encounter challenging patient populations, including victims of sexual assault.
    • Faculty play a crucial role in guiding students through these difficult experiences.
    • Understanding the impact on students is vital for effective training and support.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the effects of working with sexual assault victims on health professions students.
    • To identify coping mechanisms and psychological impacts experienced by these students.
    • To inform faculty strategies for supporting students in similar roles.

    Main Methods:

    • A study involving 25 health professions students (22 female, 3 male) at the University of New Mexico.

  • Participants worked with a Sexual Assault Response Team, providing counseling and medical assistance to an average of 16 rape victims.
  • Data collection likely involved self-reporting and possibly qualitative assessments of student experiences.

    • Main Results:

    • All students reported increased awareness of personal vulnerability and developed coping strategies.
    • Approximately one-third of students exhibited symptoms similar to those of rape victims.
    • Students gained confidence and competence as caregivers, with improved attitudes toward victims.

    Conclusions:

    • Exposure to sexual assault victims can lead to significant personal and professional growth for students.
    • The development of coping mechanisms and peer support (team meetings) can mitigate negative psychological impacts.
    • Regular faculty debriefing and support are essential for students in high-stress clinical roles.
