Agressions sexuelles chez l'enfant: Symptômes de stress post-traumatique et comportements sexuels problématiques

Cette étude s’intéresse à l’influence des symptômes du trouble de stress posttraumatique (TSPT) dans l’apparition de comportements sexuels problématiques (CSP) chez les enfants victimes d’abus sexuels âgés de 5 à 12 ans. L’échantillon se compose de 256 dyades mère-enfant, dont 173 dyades dans lesquelles les enfants ont une probabilité élevée d’avoir vécu un ou plusieurs abus sexuels et 83 dyades contrôles dans lesquelles les enfants n’ont pas été victime d’abus sexuel. Chaque groupe est évalué avec le Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) et le Child Sexual Behavior Inventory (CSBI). Les résultats obtenus sont que les enfants victimes d’abus sexuels présentent significativement plus de symptômes du TSPT et développent davantage de CSP que les enfants n’ayant pas vécu d’abus sexuel. De plus, les enfants victimes d’abus sexuels présentant davantage de symptômes du TSPT développent davantage de CSP. Les résultats de cette étude serviront de pistes d’interventions futures afin de prévenir précocement l’apparition de CSP chez les enfants victimes d’abus sexuels.

Sexual behavior is all behavior that is driven by sexual desire that is naturally owned by each human being. But the influence of various environments on child sexual behavior, making each child has different sexual behavior. One environment that plays a major role in contributing to child sexual behavior is the family environment. The contribution of the family in building the child’s sexual behavior can be done in the form of: (1) Provision of sex education for the child (2)Parental supervision on child sex behavior and (3) Parental attention to children’s activities. By considering these three things, the child’s sexual behavior can be safeguarded early and can prevent sexual behaviors that should not have occurred at the age of the basic child.

Developmental Trajectories of Child Sexual Behaviors on the Path of Sexual Behavioral Problems: Evidence From a Prospective Longitudinal Study

There is little information about the onset and the developmental course of child sexual behavior problems (SBPs), including sexually intrusive behaviors (SIBs). Using data from the Vancouver Longitudinal Study on the Psychosocial Development of Children, the current study examined the presence of distinct patterns of sexual development among children. A normative sample of preschoolers ( N = 354) with a small clinical subsample were followed from age 3 to 8 with repetitive measurements of sexual behaviors using a revised version of Child Sexual Behavior Inventory. Semiparametric group-based modeling identified four distinct sexual development trajectories: the very low (10.5%), the low declining (27.8%), the moderate stable (48.3%), and the high-rate increasing (13.4%). In contrast to the other developmental trajectories found, the high-rate-increasing pattern showed that sexual behaviors became increasingly extensive after school entry. Children characterized by this developmental pattern, especially boys, were more likely to be involved in SIBs after elementary school entry than those in the other groups. Findings highlight the presence of multiple developmental trajectories of sexual development with significantly different behavioral patterns after school entry.
