本研究调查了大学生女性强奸受害者在情感问题上寻求帮助的患病率及其相关性。2006年，一名支持终生强奸史的女性(N=228)的国家大学样本接受了采访，以评估人口统计特征、强奸史、强奸特征、精神病理学和药物滥用。参与者被问及是否曾因情绪问题寻求过帮助，以及寻求过什么类型的服务(S)(医疗专业人员、宗教人士或心理健康专业人员)。求助率为52%。在寻求帮助的人中，93%去找心理健康专家，48%去看医生，14%去寻求宗教咨询。仅创伤后应激障碍与求助有关(OR=2.35)。研究结果表明，大学心理健康和医疗机构应该做好充分准备，以识别和治疗创伤后应激障碍和其他与强奸相关的后遗症。需要开展健康促进运动，以打击滥用药物和抑郁的强奸受害者，他们寻求帮助的可能性较小。(C)2010爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
This study examines prevalence and correlates of help seeking for emotional problems among undergraduate female rape victims. A national college sample of women endorsing a lifetime history of rape (N=228) were interviewed in 2006 to assess demographic characteristics, rape history, rape characteristics, psychopathology, and substance abuse. Participants were asked if they ever sought help for emotional problems, and what type(s) of services were sought (medical professional, religious figure, or mental health professional). Prevalence of help seeking was 52%. Of help-seekers, 93% went to a mental health professional, 48% went to a medical doctor, and 14% sought religious counsel. Only PTSD was related to ever seeking help (OR = 2.35). Findings suggest that university-based mental health and medical facilities should be well prepared to identify and treat PTSD and other rape-related sequelae. Health promotion campaigns are needed to target substance abusing and depressed rape victims, who were less likely to seek help. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
