Abstract

Objective: To describe how nurses work to preserve forensic remains in cases of sexual violence. Methods: integrative review carried out using the Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences databases (LILACS), Nursing Database (BDENF) and Scientific Electronic and Library Online (Scielo). The collection period took place in September 2020. Results: In this systematic review, 06 articles were analyzed that met the inclusion criteria previously established and, next, an overview of the evaluated articles was presented. The scarcity of scientific knowledge regarding violence and forensic nursing leads health professionals to encounter difficulties in the use of specific techniques for the preservation of evidence. Conclusion: the forensic nurse has a range of responsibility towards survivors of sexual violence, from the approach to the proper handling of evidence.
