A review of the literature regarding child sexual abuse examinations is presented and a proposal for a more objective and stringent standard of care is made. Current limitations in sexual abuse examinations include examiner bias, faulty procedures or diagnostic materials, and varied or conflicting roles of the judicial, social service, and mental health systems. Examiners in such cases should have adequate and specific training, be a neutral party appointed by the court, record the proceedings, and have access not only to the alleged victim, but also to the accused and to other parties during the examination.
本文对有关儿童性虐待检查的文献进行了综述，并提出了一个更客观、更严格的护理标准建议。目前性虐待检查的局限性包括检查者偏见、程序或诊断材料有误，以及司法、社会服务和心理健康系统角色各异或相互冲突。此类案件的检查者应接受充分且具体的培训，由法院指定为中立方，记录检查过程，并且在检查期间不仅要接触到据称的受害者，还要接触到被告和其他各方。
