“…According to numerous reviews, up to two thirds of survivors report depressive symptoms and almost two in five patients with depression report having experienced ASA. In addition, when comparing survivors vs. controls and survivors of other trauma types, small to large effect sizes in depressive symptoms are found (Goodman et al, 1997 ; Campbell et al, 2000 ; Van Berlo and Ensink, 2000 ; Ullman, 2004 ; Classen et al, 2005 ; Ribeiro et al, 2009 ; Chen et al, 2010 ; Peterson et al, 2011 ; Beydoun et al, 2012 ; Dillon et al, 2013 ; Finneran and Stephenson, 2013 ; Mauritz et al, 2013 ; Wadsworth and Records, 2013 ; Alvarez-Segura et al, 2014 ; Ba and Bhopal, 2017 ; Chmielowska and Fuhr, 2017 ; Dworkin et al, 2017 ; Bows, 2018 ; Dworkin, 2018 ; Pulverman et al, 2019 ; Shamblaw et al, 2019 ; Dame et al, 2020 ; Godier-McBard and Jones, 2020 ; Kahsay et al, 2020 ; Paulson, 2020 ; Forkus et al, 2021 ; Klein and Martin, 2021 ; Mazza et al, 2021 ; Diez-Canseco et al, 2022 ; Klein et al, 2022 ; Nicholas et al, 2022 ; Rani et al, 2022 ; Lombardi et al, 2023 ; Spencer et al, 2023 ). In addition, 37% of patients with bipolar disorder report having experienced ASA, and a small to large effect size is found when comparing the bipolar disorder prevalence in survivors and controls (Mauritz et al, 2013 ; Dworkin et al, 2017 ).…”

“…Finally, nearly two in five survivors report suicidal ideation and attempts, and medium to large effect sizes are found when comparing suicidality between survivors and controls (Ullman, 2004;Chen et al, 2010;Peterson et al, 2011;Dillon et al, 2013;Ba and Bhopal, 2017;Dworkin et al, 2017;Klein et al, 2022;Nicholas et al, 2022;Spencer et al, 2023). However, differences in depression and suicidal ideation between survivors and controls are not consistently confirmed in some reviews (Ullman, 2004;Ribeiro et al, 2009;Beydoun et al, 2012;Dillon et al, 2013;Finneran and Stephenson, 2013;Wadsworth and Records, 2013;Sparrow et al, 2017;Paulson, 2020;Forkus et al, 2021;Lim et al, 2022;Lombardi et al, 2023). Survivors also report feeling increased anger according to some reviews (Godier-McBard and Jones, 2020;Kahsay et al, 2020;Klein and Martin, 2021;Rani et al, 2022).…”

An ecological approach to understanding the impact of sexual violence: a systematic meta-review

AimA systematic meta-review was conducted to examine (1) the broad range of negative and positive individual and interpersonal changes following adult sexual violence, as well as (2) the risk/protective factors at multiple levels of the social ecology (e.g., individual, assault, and micro/meso/exo/macro/chronosystem factors)—influencing the impact of sexual violence.MethodsSearches of Web of Science, Pubmed, and ProQuest resulted in inclusion of 46 systematic reviews or meta-analyses. Review findings were extracted for summary and a deductive thematic analysis was conducted.ResultsExperiencing sexual violence is associated with many negative individual and sexual difficulties as well as revictimization risk. Only a limited number of reviews reported on interpersonal and positive changes. Factors at multiple levels of the social ecology play a role in the intensity of these changes. Reviews including macrolevel factors were non-existent, however.ConclusionReviews on sexual violence are fragmented in nature. Although the use of an ecological approach is often lacking, adopting such a perspective in research is necessary for a fuller understanding of the multiple influences on survivor outcomes. Future research should evaluate the occurrence of social and positive changes following sexual violence, as well as the role of macrolevel factors in influencing post-assault outcomes.

“…Furthermore, a study found that 61.3% of sexual assault survivors referred to the Forensic Medicine Institute in Turkey for evaluation showed symptoms consistent with PTSD (Gölge et al 2013). In a recent systematic review and meta-analysis, evidence was found for an association between a lifetime history of sexual victimization and perinatal depression (Lombardi et al 2023).…”

Sexual violence is defined as the act of forcing an individual to engage in sexual intercourse or perform sexual acts without their consent, whether by a partner or someone else. Victims often face considerable barriers to reporting these incidents, frequently due to prevalent myths surrounding sexual violence. Consequently, many victims end up seeking help in psychiatry outpatient clinics, where they encounter healthcare professionals. It is crucial for these settings to integrate routine inquiries about sexual violence into their protocols, ensuring that all patients are assessed in a consistent and sensitive manner. The primary goal of this review article is to underline the critical need for psychiatry outpatient clinics to acknowledge and address sexual violence effectively. This involves establishing clear guidelines for mental health professionals on how to routinely question patients about sexual violence, which will help in identifying those at risk more effectively. Furthermore, the review seeks to highlight the importance of identifying and addressing the psychological risk factors that may predispose individuals to become perpetrators of sexual violence. Understanding these factors can lead to better preventive strategies and therapeutic interventions tailored to the needs of this specific group. Additionally, the necessity of providing victims with immediate psychological support, known as psychological first aid, following an incident. is emphasized, This form of early intervention is vital for reducing the impact of trauma and assisting in the recovery process. By focusing on these key areas, the article aims to enhance the overall response to sexual violence within psychiatric settings, ensuring that victims receive the comprehensive support and care they need.

“…Numerous studies have shown an association between CSA and sexual dysfunction (Agachanli et al, 2018; Pulverman et al, 2018; Seehuus et al, 2015; Stephenson et al, 2014), but some studies have found no apparent association between CSA and sexual dysfunction (Bigras et al, 2015; Rind & Tromovitch, 1997). The main reason for these differences may be due to the different definitions of CSA (Rellini & Meston, 2007), the different racial/ethnic compositions of the study samples, and the small sample size for a single study (Lombardi et al, 2021). Therefore, the purpose of this meta-analysis was to derive a more precise estimation of the association between CSA and sexual dysfunction in adults of both sexes by means of a meta-analysis.…”

Child sexual abuse (CSA) has been recognized as a risk factor for sexual dysfunction and has attracted increasing attention. However, controversies remain regarding related research. The aim is to calculate the pooled effect size estimate for the correlation between CSA and sexual dysfunction in adults by meta-analysis. Five bibliographic databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, and PsycINFO) were comprehensively searched to clarify the association between CSA and sexual dysfunction in adults. We used a fixed-effects model to determine the total pooled effect size estimate and reported odds ratios (ORs) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Subgroup analysis, publication bias analysis, and sensitivity analysis were conducted. Adults who had a history of CSA experienced a higher proportion of sexual dysfunction than adults with no history of CSA (OR = 1.68, 95% CI [1.49, 1.87]). Subgroup analysis showed that women with a history of CSA reported a higher proportion of sexual dysfunction than men with a history of CSA (men: OR = 1.45, 95% CI [1.05, 1.84]; women: OR = 1.62, 95% CI [1.42, 1.83]). The estimates of the effect sizes differed substantially depending on the CSA and sexual dysfunction instruments that were used in each study and the region of each sample. This meta-analysis provides conclusive evidence of an association between CSA and sexual dysfunction in adults. Currently known interventions for the treatment of sexual dysfunction after CSA have only been evaluated in women, so specific interventions should be designed for men CSA survivors who experience sexual impairment.
