The study aimed to present the demographic and clinical characteristics of 74 patients who visited a psychiatrist in a one-stop center for victims or survivors of sexual violence, as well as the psychiatric treatment they received. The expected resources and roles of psychiatrists working at the one-stop center were also discussed. Furthermore, it is advantageous for gynecologists and psychiatrists to work together in the same place since it may be difficult for patients to see a psychiatrist elsewhere. On the other hand, it is difficult for the psychiatrists to see victims and survivors of sexual assault because sessions are time-consuming and are often cancelled due to the patient’s avoidance. Therefore, some sort of reward such as incentive pay might help encourage victims or survivors to avail of the service.
