Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The first Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) programs began in the late 1970s. SANEs are specially trained forensic nurses who provide rape victims with medical care and collect and document forensic evidence. The purpose of this research is to explore Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners’ experiences with those with whom they collaborate, including police, hospital staff, and rape victim advocates. While all of these individuals may be essential to victims, all have different purposes and objectives, which could lead to conflict. Thirty-five interviews with SANEs in four East Coast states were conducted between Fall 2006 and Spring 2007. Findings indicate that SANEs have good relationships with emergency department doctors and nurses who appreciate the time SANEs can dedicate to treat rape victims and collect evidence. SANEs’ presence reduces doctors’ and nurses’ responsibilities in busy emergency departments. Other than some isolated incidents when rape victim advocates overstep boundaries by providing victims with medical advice, the SANEs included in this research had positive working relationships with advocates. Advocates allow SANEs more time to collect evidence and explain medical procedures because they are not responsible for comforting and empowering victims. SANEs’ experiences with police officers vary more; some officers are rushed and act as if victims are wasting their time, while other officers are cooperative, patient and thorough.
