This study explored risk and protective factors for resilience in survivors of sex trafficking from the survivors' perspectives. In-depth interviews were conducted with 16 participants recruited from survivor-led advocacy agencies and social service agencies that provide trafficking-specific services. Two overarching themes emerged from data analysis: (a) deep connections to self and others facilitate resilience and (b) detrimental "help" threatens survivors' resilience. Our findings suggest that it may be important for service providers to assist survivors build healthy relationships with themselves and others to promote survivors' resilience. Further, our results highlight the importance of offering more inclusive, survivor-centered, and trauma-informed services.
本研究从幸存者的角度探讨了性交易幸存者韧性的风险和保护因素。研究人员对 16 名参与者进行了深入访谈，这些参与者是从幸存者领导的宣传机构和提供特定于人口贩运服务的社会服务机构招募而来的。数据分析得出了两个总体主题：(a) 与自我和他人的深厚联系有助于韧性的发展，以及(b) 有害的“帮助”威胁着幸存者的韧性。我们的研究结果表明，服务提供者可能需要帮助幸存者建立与自己和他人的健康关系，以促进幸存者的韧性。此外，我们的研究结果还强调了提供更具包容性、以幸存者为中心和创伤知情服务的重要性。
