Despite the awareness that children with severe and complex difficulties experience child sexual abuse (CSA), the development of research in this area is still in its infancy. This call for relevant research seeks to identify the main gaps in knowledge in order to inform future debate, potential research questions, and raise issues for practice. Themes are identified relevant to researchers and practitioners globally. These include the complexity and duality of definition: recognition of CSA; barriers to communication with children and between services; diversity of segregated and inclusive settings; interaction of age and gender; adult and peer abuse in institutions; sexuality and disability; and intrusive care and medical practices. Recommendations for future research and practice in creating safe environments are provided.
尽管人们已经意识到，有严重和复杂困难的儿童会遭受儿童性虐待（CSA），但该领域的研究仍处于起步阶段。此次对相关研究的呼吁旨在找出主要的知识空白，以便为未来的辩论、潜在的研究问题提供参考，并提出实践中存在的问题。确定了与全球研究人员和从业者相关的主题。这些主题包括定义的复杂性和双重性：对CSA的认识；与儿童沟通以及服务机构之间沟通的障碍；隔离环境和融合环境的多样性；年龄和性别的相互作用；机构中的成人虐待和同伴虐待；性取向和残疾；以及侵入性护理和医疗行为。还提供了关于未来在创造安全环境方面的研究和实践的建议。
