Child sexual abusers may be better understood by phenomenological exploration of reflections on childhood lived space. Child sexual abusers often suffer from child sexual abuse, physical abuse, and neglect in their childhood lived space. These experiences may be considered a limitation or deformation of the child's lived space, resulting in a distorted self view that contributes to adult behavior. Child sexual abuse is not a new phenomenon; it is a problem that has existed throughout history but has rarely enjoyed the publicity and concern of recent times. Child sexual abusers' reflections on their lived space during childhood were explored by interviewing eight incarcerated child sexual abusers in a US correctional center. Van Manen's descriptive-interpretive theoretical process was used to guide abusers' existential reflections on their childhood lived space. van Manen's phenomenological method is dynamic and was used to organize and analyze data into essential categorical themes, one of which is "failure to root." While the viewpoint is retrospective, participants in this study provided unique perspectives on childhood reflections on lived space. These experiences, as reported by the participants, could be used to assist child victims to cope and to guide nursing practice, education, and future research related to Healthy People 2010's Goal 15 (Healthy People 2010, n.d.).
儿童性侵犯者可能通过对童年生活空间的反思进行现象学探索来更好地理解。儿童性侵犯者在童年生活空间中经常遭受性虐待、身体虐待和忽视。这些经历可能被认为是儿童生活空间的限制或变形，导致自我观点扭曲，从而促成成年后的行为。儿童性虐待不是一个新现象；它是一个历史上一直存在的问题，但很少像现在这样受到关注和重视。通过对美国惩教中心的 8 名被监禁的儿童性侵犯者进行访谈，探讨了儿童性侵犯者对童年生活空间的反思。van Manen 的描述性解释理论过程被用来指导侵犯者对童年生活空间的存在性反思。van Manen 的现象学方法是动态的，用于将数据组织和分析为基本的类别主题，其中之一是“未能扎根”。虽然观点是回顾性的，但本研究的参与者提供了对童年生活空间反思的独特视角。这些参与者报告的经历可以用来帮助儿童受害者应对，并指导护理实践、教育和与 2010 年健康人目标 15 相关的未来研究（2010 年健康人，未注明日期）。
