Women who suffered sexual abuse as children often experience a variety of physical and psychosocial symptoms as adults. Identifying this pattern of symptoms might assist health professionals in recognizing and treating nonreporting survivors of child sexual abuse. In this study, the Adult Survivors of Incest (ASI) Questionnaire (Brown & Garrison, 1990) was used to determine the symptoms and contributing factors for 22 adult survivors of child sexual abuse. Six physical symptoms were experienced by 50% of the subjects, and over 75% of the subjects experienced 11 psychosocial symptoms. The number of physical symptoms correlated significantly with other victimizations (r = .59) and number of psychosocial symptoms (r = .56). The findings suggest that the ASI Questionnaire was effective in identifying patterns of symptoms and contributing factors of adult survivors of child abuse. Additional study is needed to determine the usefulness of this questionnaire in identifying nonreporting survivors in clinical situations.
童年遭受性虐待的女性成年后往往会出现各种身体和心理社会症状。识别这种症状模式可能有助于医疗专业人员识别和治疗未报告的儿童性虐待幸存者。在本研究中，使用成人乱伦幸存者（ASI）问卷（Brown & Garrison，1990）来确定22名儿童性虐待成年幸存者的症状和促成因素。50%的受试者出现了六种身体症状，超过75%的受试者出现了11种心理社会症状。身体症状的数量与其他受害情况（r = 0.59）和心理社会症状的数量（r = 0.56）显著相关。研究结果表明，ASI问卷在识别儿童虐待成年幸存者的症状模式和促成因素方面是有效的。需要进一步研究以确定该问卷在临床情况下识别未报告幸存者的有用性。
