Despite the psychological impact of child sexual abuse, many victims do not acknowledge that their experiences were "abuse". This study sought to identify factors that predict how women label their own experiences of childhood sexual abuse. This cross-sectional study was conducted in a family medicine clinic with adult female patients. Subjects completed structured interviews about their childhood environment and their sexual abuse history. Logistic regression analysis showed that labeling of abuse was dependent upon intercourse (beta = 7.43, p = .006), the frequency of abuse by the first perpetrator (beta = 5.08, p = .024), and paternal overprotection (beta = 6.69, p = .010). Findings suggest that the severity of abusive acts is most important and an over-protective father may enhance the victim's acknowledgment that sexual touching is abusive.
尽管儿童性虐待会产生心理影响，但许多受害者并不承认自己的经历属于“虐待”。本研究旨在确定能够预测女性如何界定自己童年性虐待经历的因素。这项横断面研究是在一家家庭医学诊所对成年女性患者开展的。研究对象完成了关于其童年环境和性虐待史的结构化访谈。逻辑回归分析表明，对虐待的界定取决于是否存在性交行为（β = 7.43，p = .006）、首位施虐者的虐待频率（β = 5.08，p = .024）以及父亲的过度保护（β = 6.69，p = .010）。研究结果表明，虐待行为的严重程度最为重要，而过度保护的父亲可能会促使受害者承认性接触属于虐待行为。
