The purpose of this grounded theory study was to discover behaviors and processes that lead survivors of sexual assault to seek help with emotional recovery. The substantive theory Arriving at Readiness was developed from interviews with 11 women survivors of sexual assault. Eleven categories, each containing several strategies, form the theory. The core variable is arriving at readiness. The findings clarify why survivors often delay obtaining help with emotional recovery. The theory can be used as a tool to make it more likely survivors will be identified and receive help that is responsive to their needs.
这项扎根理论研究的目的是发现导致性侵犯幸存者寻求情感恢复帮助的行为和过程。“达到准备状态”这一实质性理论是通过对11名性侵犯女性幸存者的访谈而形成的。该理论由11个类别组成，每个类别包含若干策略。核心变量是达到准备状态。这些发现阐明了幸存者为何常常延迟寻求情感恢复方面的帮助。该理论可作为一种工具，使幸存者更有可能被识别出来，并获得符合其需求的帮助。
