It is estimated that over 6600 children under the age of 16 years are sexually abused each year in England and Wales (NSPCC, 1990). Of these incidents, 78% involve female children and 22% male children. The effects on the child range from self-mutilating behaviour and dissociative disorders to suicide. Consequently, nurses caring for victims of sexual abuse need to be aware of the trauma involved.
据估计,在英格兰和威尔士,每年有超过6600名16岁以下的儿童遭受性虐待(英国全国防止虐待儿童协会,1990年)。在这些事件中,78%涉及女童,22%涉及男童。对儿童的影响范围从自残行为和分离性障碍到自杀。因此,照顾性虐待受害者的护士需要意识到其中涉及的创伤。
