Abstract
A descriptive study of 53 ever-married women currently being treated for primary depression or anxiety documented that wife rape is a significant negative factor in the lives of these women and is positively correlated with a history of childhood sexual abuse. The study identified the incidence of wife rape in this sample and described co-variables of the wife rape experience. The findings from this research may be used by nurses to increase the effectiveness of their care.
