Abstract
Objective: The objective was to carry out an integrative literature review of available scientific evidence about the experiences of women and health professionals regarding abortion care related to sexual violence. Method: This was an integrative review in the database of The US National Library of Medicine-PubMed. The data search took place on 08/15/22 and later on 08/31/23. Results: 11 articles were selected and analyzed that answered the guiding question according to the defined exclusion and inclusion criteria. The findings revealed harmful consequences for women who suffered sexual violence with psychological and physical repercussions that culminated in abortion, difficulties in accessing health services, social stigma, among other challenges. For health professionals, conscientious objection and a lack of preparation and knowledge about legal abortion stood out. Conclusion: This study reiterates the importance of the topic and that more research with a higher level of scientific evidence be carried out so that the results can be expanded.
