Image-Based Sexual Abuse (IBSA) is an increasingly recognized issue, especially among young people, yet empirical research on its consequences remains relatively scarce. Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search identified peer-reviewed studies published between 2010 and 2024, and eligible studies were screened and quality-assessed using standardized criteria. This systematic review synthesizes findings from 12 empirical studies to provide a comprehensive overview of the psychological, social, educational and occupational consequences of IBSA victimization among individuals aged 10-24. The findings highlight severe emotional and psychological distress, including fear, anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation. Social repercussions such as bullying, ostracization, and victim-blaming further exacerbate these impacts. Additionally, IBSA is associated with significant disruptions in educational and occupational trajectories, with victims reporting school relocation and/or job loss. These outcomes underscore the parallels between IBSA and physical sexual abuse, emphasizing the need for targeted prevention strategies, improved legal frameworks, and informed victim support services. The study calls for further research into the long-term consequences of IBSA and the development of interventions that address both its digital and societal dimensions. Given the legal and psychological severity of IBSA, this review also highlights the need for forensic psychological assessment, integration of victim experiences into legal processes, and the development of trauma-informed policies that support young people through the justice system.
基于图像的性虐待(IBSA)是一个日益受到关注的问题,尤其是在年轻人当中,但关于其后果的实证研究仍然相对较少。按照PRISMA指南,通过系统检索确定了2010年至2024年间发表的同行评审研究,并使用标准化标准对符合条件的研究进行筛选和质量评估。本系统综述综合了12项实证研究的结果,以全面概述10至24岁个体遭受IBSA后的心理、社会、教育和职业后果。研究结果突出了严重的情绪和心理困扰,包括恐惧、焦虑、抑郁和自杀念头。欺凌、排斥和指责受害者等社会影响进一步加剧了这些影响。此外,IBSA与教育和职业轨迹的重大中断有关,受害者报告有转学和/或失业情况。这些结果强调了IBSA与身体性虐待之间的相似之处,强调需要有针对性的预防策略、完善的法律框架和明智的受害者支持服务。该研究呼吁进一步研究IBSA的长期后果,并制定应对其数字和社会层面的干预措施。鉴于IBSA在法律和心理上的严重性,本综述还强调了法医心理评估的必要性、将受害者经历纳入法律程序以及制定创伤知情政策以通过司法系统支持年轻人的必要性。
