"There's more to care than just healing from incisions" Examining the health care experiences of gynaecology patients with a history of trauma

Wylie, Nicola Frances ( 2023-12)

This qualitative study examined the health care experiences of fifteen gynaecology patients who have experienced traumatic life events. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, and data analysed using a trauma-informed lens. Current research suggests that hospitalisation can expose this patient group to re-traumatisation, however there is little research on their perspectives and care preferences. This study provides an original contribution to the knowledge of the care experience of gynaecology patients with a history of trauma, particularly those with endometriosis.
