“…Çalışmalarda %10 ile %64 arasında deği-şen oranlarda en sık konulan tanı TSSB'dir [4,5]. İstismara maruz kalanların önemli bir kısmında TSSB, depresyon vb psikiyatrik bozukluklar saptanır iken bir kısmında da herhangi bir psikopatoloji saptanmamıştır [6,7]. İstismar sonrası ruh sağlığının etkilenip etkilenmemesinde bireysel (yaş, cinsiyet, stresle başa çıkma yöntemi), ailesel (anne desteği, psikiyatrik hastalık öyküsü) ve istismara ait (istismarın süresi, sıklığı, yakınlık derecesi) etmenler rol almaktadır.…”

“…As defined by World Health Organization gender violence is 'the greatest public health issue and violation of human rights in the world; it is a violation of a person's physical and mental integrity (WHO 2014). SA is a traumatic life event in which the negative outcomes increase with increasing severity of abuse including physical maltreatment (McCauley et al 1997) such us lacerations, fractures, genital mutilation, sexually transmitted diseases (Lacey 1990), gynecologic disorders (Walling et al 1994;Golding et al 1998) unwanted or pathological pregnancies (Murphy et al 2001), depression (Wise et al 2001), eating disorders (Goodwin et al 2003), self-destructive behaviours (Alix et al 2017) genito-urinary and sexual disorders (Vella et al 2015), post-traumatic stress disorders (Kendler et al 2000;MacMillan et al 2001;Sprinter et al 2007;Jonas et al 2011;Gauthier-Duchesne et al 2017;Bottomley et al 1999). Internationally, different approaches are taken to the collection of forensic evidence and to the clinical and psychological assessment of alleged victims Berry et al 2014).…”

Background: Sexual assault is a worldwide problem that has not yet been sufficiently acknowledged as confirmed by the literature. Italian law n.96, 1996, foreseeing norms regarding rape and sexual abuse, finally gave significant relevance to sex crimes. Results: Among victims 88 were females (97%) and 2 males (3%); 68 Italians (75.5%) and 22 foreigners (24.5%). At the time the events occurred, 42% (n = 38) of the victims were minors aged less than 16 years. In 11 cases, the age of the victim is not indicated. The assailant was an acquaintance of the victim in 65% of the cases (in 73% of these cases, the assailant was a family member). In 26 cases (28%) happened indoor, 44 cases happened outdoor and in 20 cases there were no data. Evidence of recent acute general body trauma (abrasions, bruises, lacerations) was found in 38 cases (42%); other types of injuries include: genital trauma (14 cases, 15%), genital and body traumas (49 cases, 54%) (tab. 1-2-). In 24 cases (26%) there were no injuries. Among genital trauma, we distinguished vulvovaginal lesions (68.5%) and anal lesions (31.5%). We have classified the minor victims using first Adam's classification and based on Adam's classification revised in 2015. Conclusion: Application of the Ve.R.S.O project protocol changed and greatly improved health management of victims of violence. By following these procedures, violence and abuse are analyzed from every point of view, also for an appropriate assessment of the medium and long term health consequences of sexual assault. Only in this way are citizens provided with a high level of protection against gender violence, psychological support and prevention from any form of violence which takes place in respect of such vulnerable people.

“…Within the civilian literature, childhood trauma exposure has been related to the development of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD; Lochner et al, 2002;Matthews et al, 2008;Grisham et al, 2011), social anxiety disorder (Cougle et al, 2009;Simon et al, 2009), panic disorder (Friedman et al, 2001;Cougle et al, 2009), generalized anxiety disorder (Cougle et al, 2009), specific phobia (Cougle et al, 2009), eating disorders (Wonderlich et al, 1997;Rayworth et al, 2004;Jonas et al, 2011) drug-use disorders , psychosis (Read et al, 2005;Fisher et al, 2010;Alvarez et al, 2011), hypochondriasis (Barsky et al, 1994), and somatization (Sanson et al, 2001;Paras et al, 2009). To date, however, far less research has examined whether critical warzone experiences might also be broadly associated with psychiatric symptomatology.…”

The objective of the present research was to test the hypotheses that: (1) Iraq/Afghanistan war veterans experience a wide range of psychiatric symptomatology (e.g., obsessive-compulsive symptoms, hypochondriasis, somatization); and (2) General psychiatric symptomatology among Iraq/Afghanistan war veterans is associated with their warzone experiences. To achieve this objective, Iraq/Afghanistan war veterans (N = 155) completed a screening questionnaire that assessed a wide range of psychiatric symptoms along with a measure of warzone experiences. As expected, returning veterans reported significant elevations across a wide range of clinical scales. Approximately three-fourths screened positive on at least one clinical subscale, and a third screened positive on five or more. In addition, nearly all of these conditions were associated with veterans' warzone experiences (average r = 0.36); however, this association was much stronger among veterans with PTSD (average r = 0.33) than among veterans without PTSD (average r = 0.15). We also observed that approximately 18% of the variance in total psychiatric symptomatology was attributable to warzone experiences above and beyond the effects of childhood trauma and demographic factors. Taken together, these findings suggest that returning veterans experience a broad array of psychiatric symptoms that are strongly associated with their warzone experiences.
