The trauma symptoms of child sexual abuse (CSA) survivors don't end with the abuse, or even with the advent of adulthood. Instead, these symptoms can persist into all the realms of a survivor's life, including education, which sets the foundation for career advancement. This retrospective study of adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse (n=260) examined the relationships between trauma symptoms, dissociation, dissociative amnesia, anxiety, depression, sleep problems and higher education attainment. The purpose of this study was to determine if these factors are associated with higher education completion for childhood sexual abuse (CSA) survivors. Linear regressions and ANOVAs suggest that many of these variables are significantly associated with survivors' educational trajectory, and multiple linear regressions show that trauma symptoms (as measured by the Trauma Symptom Checklist-40), caregivers' education levels, and age at onset of abuse are significant predictors of decreased education levels. This information can provide insight into additional risk and protective factors for CSA survivors in order to enhance acute and long-term management of trauma symptoms to increase levels ofattainment of higher education.
儿童性虐待 (CSA) 幸存者的创伤症状并不会随着虐待行为的结束而结束，甚至不会随着成年期的到来而结束。相反，这些症状可能会持续存在于幸存者生活的各个领域，包括教育领域，而教育是职业发展的基础。本研究回顾了 260 名成年 CSA 幸存者，旨在探讨创伤症状、分离、分离性遗忘、焦虑、抑郁、睡眠问题与高等教育获得之间的关系。本研究的目的是确定这些因素是否与 CSA 幸存者完成高等教育有关。线性回归和方差分析表明，这些变量中的许多与幸存者的教育轨迹显著相关，多元线性回归表明，创伤症状（用创伤症状清单-40 衡量）、照顾者的教育水平和虐待开始年龄是教育水平降低的显著预测因素。这些信息可以深入了解 CSA 幸存者的其他风险和保护因素，以便加强对创伤症状的急性和长期管理，提高高等教育的获得水平。
