Male child sexual abuse is over-represented in institutional settings. This realization has increasingly come into public focus in recent decades initially through lived experience, often with male survivors' stories told in the media and subsequently through court cases and government inquiries. Beginning at the turn of the century with the Irish Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse (1999-2009), numerous national and state inquiries into institutional child abuse followed around the world. This scoping review asks the question: What is known from the research about the institutional child sexual abuse of males? Conducted in 2023 five databases were used (APA PsycINFO, CINAL, Medline, Scopus, Web of Science) producing 973 studies for screening. Applying the Arksey and O'Malley framework resulted in 29 studies meeting the inclusion criteria, which were analyzed. Of the 29 studies, 27 could be categorized into 3 broad areas of focus: survivor experience, impact, and disclosure. Two further studies considered: turning points and meaning making. The findings are discussed under the following headings: disclosure, impacts (emotional, mental health, alcohol, and other impacts), and what is helpful to victim/survivors. Implications for practice, policy, and research are examined along with limitations of the current research.
男性儿童性虐待在机构环境中更为常见。近几十年来，这种认识越来越受到公众关注，最初是通过生活经历，通常是媒体上讲述的男性幸存者的故事，随后是通过法庭案件和政府调查。从 21 世纪初的爱尔兰儿童虐待调查委员会（1999-2009 年）开始，世界各地就对机构内儿童性虐待进行了无数次国家和州调查。这项范围界定审查提出了一个问题：从研究中可以了解到哪些关于男性机构性虐待的信息？该审查于 2023 年进行，使用了 5 个数据库（APA PsycINFO、CINAL、Medline、Scopus、Web of Science），筛选出了 973 项研究。应用阿特金和奥马利的框架，有 29 项研究符合纳入标准，并对其进行了分析。在这 29 项研究中，有 27 项可以分为 3 个关注重点领域：幸存者的经历、影响和披露。另外两项研究考虑了转折点和意义的构建。研究结果在以下标题下进行了讨论：披露、影响（情感、心理健康、酒精和其他影响），以及对受害者/幸存者有帮助的内容。同时还审查了实践、政策和研究的影响，以及当前研究的局限性。
