Woman-to-woman rape and sexual assault, and its impact upon the occupation of work: Victim/survivors’ life roles of worker or student as disruptive and preservative

Abstract

For these victim/survivors, work or education can be experienced as either: disrupted (triggering) or as preservative (maintenance). Their life roles as worker or student were impacted by feelings that they could have performed better and achieved more. Occupational therapists and other relevant service providers could work with sexually victimised people in order to participate more satisfactorily and healthily in the occupation of work.

A Phenomenological Case Study of Blind Male Masseuses Experiencing Sexual Assault: Implication for Nursing Practice

“…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].…”

An occupational justice perspective on playing football and living with mental distress

“…This study's findings also extend previous work relating to the complex and multi-dimensional nature of occupation. To date, the literature relating to the dark-side of occupation (Twinley, 2013(Twinley, , 2017Twinley & Addidle, 2012) and non-sanctioned occupations (Kiepek et al, 2019) has focused almost exclusively on occupations that are obviously deviant, illegal, and/or unhealthy (rape, sexual assault, violence). Therefore, the various dimensions of occupations such as football are under considered.…”

Personas LGBT y Ciencia Ocupacional: una revisión de literatura

“…Hay que considerar que la justicia ocupacional es un proceso complejo y dinámico para cada individuo, por lo que los diferentes profesionales que trabajan con personas LGBTQ como, por ejemplo, los terapeutas ocupacionales, deben considerar la ocupación en su totalidad, sin tabúes, aunque lamentablemente es un aspecto que Kingsley & Molineux (2000) encontraron que aún falta por desarrollar. Twinley (2017), desde la esfera de derechos de personas que sufren abuso, pone el foco de atención en un aspecto de vulneración de derechos, declarando que parece ser preocupante el abordaje de violaciones o agresiones sexuales de mujer a mujer y la forma en que eso impacta en las ocupaciones en el trabajo. Los hallazgos señalaron que estas mujeres tenían dificultades en la formación de su identidad, presentaban diversas emociones negativas e interrumpen sus roles y ocupaciones, no logrando participar en sus ocupaciones habituales, dado que este tipo de delito en el mundo es subestimado, desapercibido, ignorado, por lo que no se aborda de la forma en que debiese.…”
