To examine mental health service experiences following sexual violence (SV) and intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization among college women with a disability.
College women (n = 27, ages 19 to 24) with a disability who experienced at least one SV/IPV occurrence; interviewed July/August 2016.
Qualitative study using in-depth interviews, with thematic analysis.
Women tended to wait several months (or did not seek care at all) following SV/IPV, because they downplayed their experience (e.g., not wanting to label an experience as "rape"). Those seeking services primarily did so because of escalating mental health concerns. Among service seekers, women were satisfied when professionals validated their experiences/concerns; and were dissatisfied when faced with extended wait time for care and/or professionals unskilled with SV/IPV and mental health. However, women still sought care following negative experiences.
Improved access to integrated care for SV/IPV and mental health, along with skilled professionals, is essential.
调查残疾女大学生遭受性暴力（SV）和亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）后的心理健康服务体验。
27名年龄在19至24岁之间的残疾女大学生，她们至少经历过一次性暴力/亲密伴侣暴力事件；于2016年7月/8月接受访谈。
采用深入访谈的定性研究，并进行主题分析。
遭受性暴力/亲密伴侣暴力后，女性往往会等待数月（或根本不寻求治疗），因为她们淡化了自己的经历（例如，不想将一次经历标记为“强奸”）。寻求服务的女性主要是因为心理健康问题不断升级才这样做。在寻求服务的女性中，当专业人员认可她们的经历/担忧时，她们会感到满意；而当面临长时间等待治疗和/或专业人员缺乏处理性暴力/亲密伴侣暴力及心理健康问题的技能时，她们会感到不满。然而，即使经历了负面体验，女性仍然会寻求治疗。
改善性暴力/亲密伴侣暴力及心理健康综合护理的可及性，以及配备熟练的专业人员，至关重要。
