Childhood sexual abuse: toward a self-care framework for nursing intervention and research.
The study of childhood sexual abuse is not limited to a single professional domain. Nurses, physicians, sociologists, psychologists, criminologists, and other professionals have studied various factors associated with this increasing problem. Multiple approaches to the study of this phenomenon have led to confusion and misunderstanding about the initial and long-term effects of sexual abuse. This article provides a self-care framework based on previous research from several domains and offers suggestions for nursing interventions and further research.
