This study assessed whether perceptions of others' reactions to disclosure are related to psychological and physical outcomes among individuals with a history of child sexual abuse. Eighty-six female undergraduates completed a series of questionnaires assessing child sexual abuse, nonsexual trauma, depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, somatic symptoms, disclosure, and social reactions to disclosure. Those who reported child sexual abuse endorsed higher levels of psychological and physical symptoms than those who reported a nonsexual traumatic event. Child sexual abuse survivors who reported more hurtful responses to disclosure had higher levels of posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and physical symptoms than nonsexual trauma survivors. These findings suggest that many survivors of CSA may need psychological services, and an important focus of treatment may be assessing and strengthening social support.
本研究评估了儿童性虐待史个体对他人对披露反应的认知是否与心理和身体结果相关。86名女大学生完成了一系列问卷，评估儿童性虐待、非性创伤、抑郁、焦虑、创伤后应激障碍、躯体症状、披露情况以及对披露的社会反应。报告有儿童性虐待经历的人比报告有非性创伤事件的人表现出更高水平的心理和身体症状。报告对披露有更多伤害性反应的儿童性虐待幸存者比非性创伤幸存者有更高水平的创伤后应激障碍、焦虑和身体症状。这些发现表明，许多儿童性虐待幸存者可能需要心理服务，治疗的一个重要重点可能是评估和加强社会支持。
