Due to the nature of their activity, sex workers often experience a lack of acceptance and stigmatization in society. This results in numerous exclusion mechanisms and stress factors, which might be associated with an increased vulnerability to mental illness.
To identify studies on the mental health situation of sex workers in Europe.
A scoping review identified n=12 relevant studies published from 1990 onwards in the scientific databases LIVIVO, BASE, PubMed and PSYNDEX.
At least one mental disorder was reported in 56-75% of sex worker*respondents. Depression, substance use, suicidality, and post-traumatic stress were particularly common among respondents. The results show that sex workers are vulnerable to psychological stressors and illnesses. Comprehensive psychosocial support and counseling is indicated, taking into consideration the different work contexts and life situations.
由于其工作性质,性工作者在社会中常常不被接受且受到污名化。这导致了众多排斥机制和压力因素,可能与患精神疾病的易感性增加有关。
识别欧洲性工作者心理健康状况的相关研究。
一项范围综述确定了1990年起在科学数据库LIVIVO、BASE、PubMed和PSYNDEX上发表的n = 12项相关研究。
在56% - 75%的性工作者受访者中报告了至少一种精神障碍。抑郁、物质使用、自杀倾向和创伤后应激在受访者中尤为常见。结果表明,性工作者易受心理压力源和疾病的影响。考虑到不同的工作环境和生活状况,需要提供全面的心理社会支持和咨询。
