Manifestations of Enduring During Interviews With Sexual Assault Victims

Noreen Esposito

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

The retelling of a sexual assault, whether during sexual assault care or law enforcement interviews, or in the process of seeking social support, is an emotionally stressful event, yet there is little research describing the psychological experiences of retelling. In a study of barriers to sexual assault care, 43 survivors recounted 76 assault events during individual interviews. Although assaults occurred from 1 to 15 years prior to the interview, participants demonstrated emotional upset. Using the praxis theory of suffering as a scaffold, the author describes manifestations of enduring and emotional suffering. The separation of enduring from emotional suffering indicates potential usefulness of the praxis theory of suffering in the provision of post-sexual assault care.

Key Words: sexual assault • emotional suffering • enduring • posttraumatic stress disorder • PTSD • nurse-patient interactions
