“…Fuera de la relación profesional todos tenemos la posibilidad de colaborar en una cultura del cuidado y la prevención, pues un entorno favorable reduce las posibilidades de ser víctima de ASI (Brown et al, 2020) y un gran apoyo social mitiga sus consecuencias (Schulze et al, 2022). Los participantes destacan la importancia de crear una cultura que anteponga la ternura a la violencia y la empatía a la consecución de los propios deseos.…”

“…Así, se estima que entre dos y tres cuartas partes de las víctimas no revelan su vivencia hasta la edad adulta y el 28-60% no lo comunicarán nunca (Filipas y Ullman, 2001). Además, el grado de eficacia de la intervención está condicionado por diversos factores, tanto sociales como individuales, que sumados a las dificultades personales y al estigma que supone el abuso sexual constituyen una barrera a la hora de solicitar tratamiento y, por tanto, de superar el trauma (Brown et al, 2020).…”

Este es un artículo Open Access bajo la licencia http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ RESUMEN El abuso sexual infantil (ASI) es un tipo de maltrato que genera un especial rechazo social. Aunque haya aumentado la denuncia de este comportamiento y sus consecuencias, apenas se pone de relieve la capacidad de superación del trauma en la edad adulta. Este estudio observacional descriptivo analiza el crecimiento postraumático (CPT) en los adultos que son víctimas de ASI tal como ellos se perciben en relación con su resiliencia y otras herramientas que les han facilitado vivir tras la experiencia de abuso. A partir de un cuestionario con preguntas semiabiertas se ha realizado un análisis mediante la agrupación temática de sus testimonios (N = 66). Los participantes manifiestan que es posible experimentar CPT tras haber sufrido ASI y señalan como medios sanadores que las víctimas puedan expresarlo y sientan que son creídas. Socialmente hacen falta adultos atentos comprometidos en la construcción de una cultura de cuidados y prevención y planes educativos que otorguen herramientas al menor.

IntroductionSexual violence is commonplace and has serious adverse consequences for physical and mental health. Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARCs) are viewed as a best practice response. Little is known about their effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. Long-term data on the health and well-being of those who have experienced rape and sexual assault are also lacking.Methods and analysisThis is a mixed-methods protocol for a 1-year cohort study aiming to examine the health and well-being in survivors of sexual violence after attending a SARC in England. Quantitative measures are being taken at baseline, 6 and 12 months. Post-traumatic stress (PTS) is the primary outcome (target N=270 at 12-month follow-up). Secondary measures include anxiety, depression, substance use and sexual health and well-being. Using mixed-effects regression, our main analysis will examine whether variation in SARC service delivery and subsequent mental healthcare is associated with improvement in trauma symptoms after 12 months. An economic analysis will compare costs and outcomes associated with different organisational aspects of SARC service delivery and levels of satisfaction with care. A nested qualitative study will employ narrative analysis of transcribed interviews with 30 cohort participants and 20 survivors who have not experienced SARC services.Ethics and disseminationThe research is supported by an independent study steering committee, data monitoring and ethics committee and patient and public involvement (PPI) group. A central guiding principle of the research is that being involved should feel diametrically opposed to being a victim of sexual violence, and be experienced as empowering and supportive. Our PPI representatives are instrumental in this, and our wider stakeholders encourage us to consider the health and well-being of all involved. We will disseminate widely through peer-reviewed articles and non-academic channels to maximise the impact of findings on commissioning of services and support for survivors.Trial registration numberISRCTN30846825.

“…Following disclosure of CSA, victims may benefit from interventions ranging from individual, family, or group therapies ( Brown et al, 2020 ). Group intervention is one of the most frequent intervention modalities for adolescents ( Caro et al, 2019 ), and may be viewed as a cost-effective strategy that offers participants the opportunity to share difficult experiences with peers in a secure setting ( Burlingame et al, 2018 ).…”

Adapting Adolescent Dating Violence Prevention Interventions to Victims of Child Sexual Abuse

Considering the increased risk of revictimization, adolescents who have experienced child sexual abuse (CSA) are a priority subpopulation for the prevention of dating violence. Yet, intervention programs often focus on psychological symptomology associated with CSA; few tackle issues specific to relational violence. Addressing the relational traumatization of adolescents with a history of CSA is essential to prevent their revictimization. Given specific CSA sequelae related to intimacy and engagement in sexual behaviors, there is a need for tailoring interventions to boy and girl survivors. A case study of a group intervention designed for adolescent girls with a history of CSA was conducted. The context adaptation, based on intervention mapping proposed by Bartholomew and colleagues, served as a theoretical framework. Four steps were taken to ensure that the intervention addressed CSA youth needs: (a) needs assessment, (b) analysis of the conceptual framework of the original program, (c) selection of interventions and developing new interventions, and (d) validation with a committee of practitioners. This approach provided an understanding of risk factors and intervention priorities using the problem logic model. The original program was enhanced by adding four interventions addressing the prevention of dating violence. These interventions were then validated by practitioners before implementation in the setting. The approach underscores the relevance of understanding the needs of the clientele and of adopting a collaborative approach to ensure the proposed interventions are relevant.
