This article explores the opinions of nurses who were sexually abused as children and those who were not, concerning routine inquiry about a history of sexual abuse. Approximately 60% of the participants indicated that routine inquiry should be conducted in pediatric and psychiatric settings. Reasons put forward for not inquiring included concerns about being intrusive, feeling unqualified to deal with content if abuse had occurred, and fear of increasing the distress of clients. Participants believed nurses needed education in this area if they were to be effective. Reasons why this topic involving sexuality and violence may be difficult for nurses are considered.
本文探讨了童年时期遭受过性虐待和未遭受过性虐待的护士对于常规询问性虐待史的看法。约60%的参与者表示，应在儿科和精神科环境中进行常规询问。提出不进行询问的原因包括担心侵犯隐私、觉得如果发生过虐待则没有能力处理相关内容，以及害怕增加服务对象的痛苦。参与者认为，护士若要有效开展工作，需要在这方面接受教育。文中还考虑了为何这个涉及性与暴力的话题对护士来说可能比较困难的原因。
