Abstract

- Child sexual violence represents a real gap, produced due to the negligence of the public power, social and cultural inequality, poverty, unemployment, among others. This phenomenon even affects children from the lower middle class, who suffer various types of violence, including sexual abuse. Faced with this reality, it is emphasized that not only the victim, but also the entire family suffers the consequences of these abuses, given that in most cases they occur within the home, by the father, stepfather, neighbors and close friends. In the place where it should be child safety. The objective was to understand the perception of nursing professionals about sexually abused children. Nursing observed a succession of feelings for these children, such as: the feeling of impotence, guilt and suffering, insurmountable pain, among others. It was evident that child sexual violence is extremely traumatic, it destroys, marks and mistreats. When analyzing the literature, we came to the following question: What is the nursing perception of victims of child sexual violence? The nurse must be able to analyze, evaluate and provide care to the victim and their families and refer them to the specialized service. This is a bibliographic and descriptive research, consisting of scientific articles and books on the theme “perception of nursing for victims of sexual violence in childhood”. This research was carried out by consulting book chapters and scientific articles, looking for themes related to “child violence; childhood sexual abuse; nurse in child care”. Therefore, nursing must provide the victim with adequate and quality care, being able to avoid complications arising from the abuse and violence suffered, as well as contributing to their recovery.
