“…However, the participants realized that something had changed in the way they interacted with other people and their environment. The findings of this study add to the evidence that there are changes and consequences to the lives of victims post-sexual assault [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], [29].…”

BACKGROUND: Having experience of sexual assault may bring a great impact on the lives of blind male masseuses. However, a deep understanding of the consequences is currently still not largely explored. AIM: The purpose of this study was to explore the experience of sexual assault and the consequences of sexual assaults incidents which occurred in the lives of blind male masseuses. METHODS: This study used a phenomenological case study design. Interviews were conducted with nine blind male masseuses who had experienced sexual assault while carrying out their profession in Semarang city, Indonesia. The data were analyzed using Giorgi analysis. RESULTS: The experience of being sexually assaulted disrupts almost all of the participants’ lives for a relatively long period of time, and even it is still felt at the present. To release and reduce the fear and trauma caused by sexual assault, the participants consciously drew themselves closer to God as the main thing to do. A prayer to God to be protected from being the victim of sexual assault is a participant’s devotion while carrying out their worship ritual. Talking to other blind masseuses also helps them to find the solutions needed to rebuild their lives. However, the participants tend to feel ashamed and reluctant to convey how such sexual assault has affected their lives to present time. CONCLUSION: Even though the participants have adapted and rebuilt their lives, the residue of sexual assault impact is still felt and remains for a long time. Self-protection training and assistive devices for blind masseuses to prevent the recurrence of sexual assault are significantly important and should be considered to be implemented by nurses.

“…In a recent review of the sexual assault literature (Author, 2019), occupation was addressed in an extremely limited fashion: Changes to women's everyday doings were primarily focused on "health risk behaviors," such as alcohol and drug use and risk-prone sexual activity, whereas changes to doings including those related to school, paid work, and leisure were only briefly discussed. Very few studies have used an occupational perspective to explore the aftermath of sexual assault during university (see Hodge, 2017;Twinley, 2012). Of these, one focused on woman-to-woman sexual assault (Twinley, 2012) and did not explore how women's everyday doings are changed after sexual assault perpetrated by men, despite that men commit the vast majority of sexual assaults across the globe (WHO, 2017).…”

The other focused on changes to woman's everyday doings only while participants were enrolled in university (Hodge, 2017) and did not explore longer term changes, though the consequences of sexual assault are known to be felt over both the short-and longterm (WHO, 2013). Developing a deeper understanding of what everyday living and doing looks like after an experience of sexual assault during university is, therefore, crucial to the development of a more fulsome picture of its aftermath and constitutes an important gap in knowledge (Stewart et al, 2019).…”

The Aftermath and the Aftermyth: Learning From Memoirists Who Experienced Sexual Assault While at University

et al. 2020

There is an abundance of research on the health consequences of sexual assault during university, but less attention has been paid to how sexual assault also shapes women’s everyday lives. To develop an understanding of the everyday aftermath of sexual assault, we used narrative inquiry to analyze how women textually represent everyday living after sexual assault during university within four memoirs. Memoirists discussed their lives as significantly changed and worked to repair their lives after sexual assault by engaging in a range of everyday activities. Although no single behavioral response was described, some memoirists were perceived as deviant if they engaged in behaviors that contradicted prevailing cultural myths and expectations about how one should behave after sexual assault. We need to create room for women to engage in personal, idiosyncratic responses if we are to challenge restrictive standards for doing in the aftermath of sexual assault during university.

“…The majority looked at sexual assault as the main exposure, though a few included IPV and sexual harassment. There were three main impacts: decline in class attendance, dropout or thoughts of leaving university, and avoidance of campus areas (Bonomi et al, 2018;Gu 2012;Hodge & Privott 2017;Lorenzo 2019;Pinter 2015;Pomerantz 1994;Stermac et al, 2018;Stewart et al, 2020;Voth Schrag, Wood, et al, 2020;Voth Schrag et al, 2022;Watson 2009). Students pointed to a fear of running into their abuser or of another incident occurring (Pinter 2015;Stermac et al, 2018;Voth Schrag et al, 2022).…”

Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) is a highly prevalent issue, both in North America and globally, with well-recognized adverse impact on survivors’ physical, emotional, and economic well-being. The objective of this systematic review is to collect and synthesize empirical work on the effects of SGBV victimization on educational trajectories, goals, attainment, and outcomes. The review summarizes what is known about factors associated with victimization that affect survivors’ educational trajectories and highlights gaps in the literature pertaining to the effects of victimization on education. Five databases were searched for this review: Web of Science, Sociological Abstracts, PubMed, APA PsycInfo, and ERIC. For inclusion, the articles must present research on the academic impact of any form of SGBV experienced in higher education and must have been conducted in the United States or Canada. The 68 studies that met these criteria presented research on six key areas of educational outcomes: impacts on academic performance and motivation; attendance, dropout, and avoidance; changes in major/field of study; academic disengagement; educational attitudes and satisfaction; and academic climate and institutional relationships. Research also revealed factors mediating the relationship between SGBV exposure and educational outcomes such as mental health, physical health, social support, socioeconomic status, and resiliency, which we summarize in a pathway model. The research reviewed had significant limitations, including weak study designs, limited generalizability, and diversity concerns. We offer recommendations for future research on this topic.
