This research employed both quantitative and qualitative approaches to studying the immediate and long-term coping strategies adopted by survivors of child sexual abuse, focusing on how strategies evolve over time. Qualitative findings showed that coping with child sexual abuse is not static, but changes over time. The narratives of these nonclinical survivors suggest that an adaptive outcome may be associated with a particular evolution of strategies across time, i.e., survivors reported coping predominantly by engaging in psychological escape methods initially, and then adopting cognitive appraisal and positive reframing strategies in the longer term. It appears that coping processes can affect psychological outcome following child sexual abuse. This study offers insight into the evolution of coping methods associated with an adaptive outcome.
本研究采用定量和定性方法，研究儿童性虐待幸存者所采用的即时和长期应对策略，重点关注这些策略如何随时间演变。定性研究结果表明，应对儿童性虐待并非一成不变，而是随时间变化的。这些非临床幸存者的叙述表明，适应性结果可能与策略随时间的特定演变相关，即幸存者报告最初主要通过心理逃避方法应对，然后在长期采用认知评估和积极重新构建策略。看来应对过程会影响儿童性虐待后的心理结果。本研究深入探讨了与适应性结果相关的应对方法的演变。
