This study explored the life experiences of women with CP who have experienced mistreatment and examined how they interpret these experiences in relation to gender, culture, social class, and power. Using a feminist biographical method, eight participants completed two in‑depth interviews each. Narrative analysis revealed two central themes: experiences of mistreatment and the evolving experience of living with CP across the life span. Findings highlight the need for health care approaches that recognize the impact of mistreatment and support the unique experiences of girls and women with CP. 000000400 540__ $$fCC BY 000000400 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000400 650__ $$aSex Offenses$$025932 000000400 650__ $$aCerebral Palsy$$016369 000000400 650__ $$aPrejudice$$024559 000000400 650__ $$aHealth Services Misuse$$019907 000000400 650__ $$aLife Change Events$$021500 000000400 650__ $$aDelivery of Health Care$$017452 000000400 650__ $$aDisabled Persons$$019843 000000400 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000000400 7001_ $$aFreeborn, Donna$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000400 8564_ $$9bdfd63dd-1d71-4e51-9570-b06903ad9b7e$$s418183$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/400/files/401_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$21c3cdda06408bdeceab736dd6a07d37c$$31 000000400 905__ $$a/rest/prod/h1/28/nd/70/h128nd70b 000000400 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:400$$pstudent-work 000000400 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000000400 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
