To study the prevalence and spectrum of self-reported childhood sexual abuse (CSA) in a sample of medical students from a medical college in Southern India.
A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to consenting students of a medical college located at Puducherry. Those students who could not be contacted despite three attempts were excluded.
Of total 452 students, 148 (32.7%) students reported experiencing one or other form of CSA. Prevalence of CSA was almost equal in both the sexes. Most instances of CSA occurred either at own house (33.8%) or at a neighbor's house (22.9%). Majority (60.1%) did not inform anyone; due to fear of negative consequences (43.2%) and feelings of guilt (30.4%) most commonly.
Approximately one third of medical students reported an incident of sexual abuse at least once in his/her life. Both girls and boys are equally likely to face CSA.
研究来自印度南部一所医学院的医学生样本中自我报告的儿童期性虐待(CSA)的流行率和范围。
向位于本地治里的医学院的同意学生分发了一份自我管理的问卷。尽管进行了三次尝试,但仍无法联系到的学生被排除在外。
在总共 452 名学生中,有 148 名(32.7%)学生报告经历过一种或另一种形式的 CSA。CSA 的患病率在两性中几乎相等。大多数 CSA 事件发生在自己的家中(33.8%)或邻居家(22.9%)。大多数人(60.1%)没有告诉任何人;最常见的原因是害怕负面后果(43.2%)和内疚感(30.4%)。
大约三分之一的医学生报告说在他/她的一生中至少发生过一次性虐待事件。女孩和男孩都同样有可能面临 CSA。
