Background:Gender-based violence is a challenge in South Africa, despite available interventions. \udCaring for the survivors of both forms of violence is critical for ensuring their speedy recovery.\udObjectives:To compare the effects of trauma on female survivors of sexual assault versus \udthose experienced by survivors of physical assault by their intimate partners. \udMethod:A quantitative cross-sectional comparative study design was used to compare 30 \udsexually-assaulted women and 30 physically-assaulted women regarding depressive symptoms, \udposttraumatic stress disorder and coping styles three months after the incident. Semi-structured \udinterviews were conducted with the survivors of both types of assault and the Beck Depression \udInventory posttraumatic stress disorder checklist and Brief COPE Inventory were administered \udin order to obtain quantitative data. Both parametric and non-parametric statistics were \udemployed. Ethical measures were adhered to throughout the research process. \udResults:A significantly-higher proportion of sexually-assaulted women disclosed the incident \udto family (p = 0.021). The majority of sexually- (90%) and physically- (86%) assaulted women \udwere likely to recall the incident. Sexually-assaulted women had a significantly-higher mean \udfor avoidance/numbness (p < 0.001) and physical-assaulted women in arousal (p > 0.051). \udAbout 41%of sexually-assaulted participants reported severe depression. Findings confirmed \udthat sexual assault is more personal whilst physical assault is more interpersonal. If physically-assaulted women were removed from the perpetrators they recovered faster than sexually-assaulted women. Their stay with the perpetrators may perpetuate the violence. \udConclusion:The need for counselling and support for the survivors of both traumas was \udrecommended. All stakeholders should be educated to provide support to survivors of \udboth traumas
