Abstract(s)
O trauma na infância afeta o bem estar na idade adulta. Particularmente, o abuso sexual foi relacionado a maior disfunção sexual, menor satisfação sexual na idade adulta, mas também a níveis mais elevados de compulsividade e comportamentos sexuais de risco. Objetivos: Analisar se o abuso na infância e a revitimização na idade adulta são preditores dos comportamentos sexuais de risco e da hipersexualidade, bem como estudar as diferenças entre mulheres com e sem história de abuso ao nível das variáveis psicossociais e comportamentais em estudo. A amostra é constituída por 126 mulheres com e sem história de abuso e revitimização na idade adulta, com idades entre os 18 e os 40 anos, que preencheram os seguintes instrumentos: Questionário Sociodemográfico; Questionário do Trauma Infantil (CTQ); Questionário do Abuso Sexual na Idade Adulta; Questionário do Comportamento Sexual Passado; vários questionários de autorrelato acerca dos comportamentos sexuais de risco e a Escala das Consequências do Comportamento Hipersexual. Verificou-se que os diferentes tipos de abuso na infância foram relacionados positivamente entre si, bem como, o abuso na infância e a revitimização na idade adulta foram positiva e significativamente correlacionados com os comportamentos sexuais de risco e a hipersexualidade. A maioria dos estudos sobre abuso infantil e violação de adultos não incluiu mulheres usuárias de serviços públicos de cuidados de saúde primários. Por esse motivo, este estudo contribui para a nossa compreensão da prevalência e dos preditores dos comportamentos sexuais de risco e da hipersexualidade em um grupo de mulheres pouco investigado.
Childhood trauma affects wellbeing in adulthood. In particular, sexual abuse was related to greater sexual dysfunction, lower sexual satisfaction in adulthood, but also to higher levels of compulsivity and risky sexual behaviors. Objectives: To analyze whether abuse in childhood and revictimization in adulthood are predictors of risky sexual behavior and hypersexuality, as well as to study the differences between women with and without a history of abuse in terms of the psychosocial and behavioral variables under study. The sample consists of 126 women with and without a history of abuse and revictimization in adulthood, aged between 18 and 40 years, who completed the following instruments: Sociodemographic Questionnaire; Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ); Sexual Abuse in Adulthood Questionnaire; Past Sexual Behavior Questionnaire; several selfreport questionnaires about risky sexual behaviors and the Consequences of Hypersexual Behavior Scale. It was found that the different types of abuse in childhood were positively related to each other, as well as abuse in childhood and revictimization in adulthood were positively and significantly correlated with risky sexual behaviors and hypersexuality. Most studies on child abuse and adult rape have not included women using public primary health care services. For this reason, this study contributes to our understanding of the prevalence and predictors of risky sexual behaviors and hypersexuality in a poorly investigated group of women.
