StreszczenieCel pracy: Ustalenie zależności między zgwałceniem a obrazem siebie i ogólnym stanem zdrowia u ofiar gwałtu zgła szających się do specjalistów medycyny sądowej w Ahwazie (Iran). Materiał i metody: Badanie typu przekrojowego przeprowadzono w grupie liczącej 128 osób. Grupę badaną stanowiły 64 ofiary zgwałcenia skierowane do specjalistów medycyny sądowej, a grupę kontrolną -64 osoby, które zgłosiły się do placówek służby zdrowia w Ahwazie. Dane gromadzono przy wykorzystaniu standardowych kwestionariuszy Rogersa dotyczących obrazu siebie i ogólnego stanu zdrowia. Kwestionariusze były wypełniane samodzielnie przez uczestniczki badania.

Średnie wyniki uzyskane w analizie ogólnego stanu zdrowia wyniosły 51,09 ±18,07 i 16,92 ±12,79, odpowiednio w grupie badanej i kontrolnej. Stwierdzono statystycznie istotną różnicę w średnich wynikach uzyskanych w obu gru pach dla obrazu siebie, funkcjonowania społecznego, zdrowia fizycznego i składowych ogólnego stanu zdrowia.
