Research is lacking on body-related consequences of sexual abuse in adults with mild intellectual disability or borderline intellectual functioning (MID-BIF), although the prevalence of abuse is high and body- and movement-oriented diagnostics and therapeutics seem warranted for this group.
Body experience in adults with MID-BIF who were sexually abused (SA) and were not sexually abused (NSA) was compared using a self-report instrument, the Body Experience Questionnaire-mb, and an instrument to observe non-verbal psychomotor behaviour, the PsyMot-mb.
The SA group showed significantly higher self-reported body awareness and more observed problems with body acceptance than the NSA group. No significant group differences were found for self-reported body satisfaction and body attitude.
Adults with MID-BIF who were sexually abused are more aware of their body signals, but less able to adequately attend to, tolerate, and interpret these signals. Therefore, body- and movement-oriented therapies hold promise for this group.
尽管性虐待在轻度智力残疾或边缘智力功能（MID - BIF）的成年人中发生率很高，且针对该群体似乎有必要进行以身体和运动为导向的诊断和治疗，但目前缺乏关于性虐待对这部分成年人身体相关影响的研究。
使用自我报告工具“身体体验问卷 - mb”以及观察非言语心理运动行为的工具“心理运动 - mb”，对遭受性虐待（SA）和未遭受性虐待（NSA）的MID - BIF成年人的身体体验进行比较。
与未遭受性虐待的群体相比，遭受性虐待的群体自我报告的身体意识显著更高，且在身体接纳方面观察到的问题更多。在自我报告的身体满意度和身体态度方面未发现显著的组间差异。
遭受性虐待的MID - BIF成年人对自己的身体信号更敏感，但在充分关注、容忍和解读这些信号方面能力较弱。因此，以身体和运动为导向的疗法对该群体有帮助。
