Abstract:
Long-term effects of Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) have been observed by many clinicians and researchers over many decades. Aim of the present study was to explore the long-term impact of CSA and its impact on their Psychological well-being. For the purpose, 150 (75 male, 75 female) adult survivors of CSA were selected to participate in the study. Impact of Events Scale – Revised (IES-R) and Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWB) 42 Item Version were used to measure the level of impact of the traumatic event and level of Psychological well-being respectively. The Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale measures six sub dimensions which includes Autonomy, Environmental mastery, Personal Growth, Positive Relations, Purpose of life and Self- acceptance. Demographic details such as age, educational level, working status, and marital status were recorded using an interview schedule. Statistical analysis by using t-test and Pearson correlation was done in SPSS software 21 version. The result revealed that there is a significant relationship between the level of impact of the traumatic event and their Psychological well-being among the Adult Survivors of CSA. Adult Survivors of CSA showed high level of impact and poor Psychological Well-being. Female had more impact and poor Psychological Well-being than men. Higher the education, married and working individuals exhibited better Psychological well-being compared to less educated, not married or having problems in marriage and not working respectively. Elder individuals exhibited less impact compared to young adults. There was a high impact in the personal growth, positive relations and self-acceptance of the adult survivors of CSA.
