Hendricks, Natasha Orner, Phyllis Mathews, Shanaaz Public Health Includes bibliographical references. To develop an understanding of the factors that promotes and inhibits child sexual abuse (CSA) disclosure and its impact on the child and caregiver. Young girls and adolescents between the ages of 8-17 years who experienced penetrative sexual abuse were recruited from two sexual assault centres in the Western Cape, South Africa. On arrival at the centre, caregivers were approached and informed about the study and informed consent was obtained from those who agreed to participate in the study. This study has shown that factors promoting CSA disclosure include circumstances around the incident, caregiver concerns around the child's behavior, which made caregivers suspicious and allowed them to create an enabling environment to facilitate disclosure for the child as well as coercion by caregivers to talk. 2015-01-01T12:48:11Z 2015-01-01T12:48:11Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MPH http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10868 eng application/pdf Department of Public Health and Family Medicine Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
