非裔美国女性遭受性侵的风险很高。此外，许多非裔美国女性支持使用社会支持和宗教信仰来应对创伤。本研究以413名非裔美国女性性侵幸存者为样本，采用验证性因素分析和结构方程模型研究了这两种应对策略与创伤后症状的关系。研究结果表明，拥有较大社会支持的幸存者不太可能支持抑郁和创伤后应激障碍的症状。相反，更多地使用宗教应对方式与更多地认可抑郁和创伤后应激障碍症状有关。咨询和研究的含义也被探讨。
African American women are at high risk for sexual assault. In addition, many African American women endorse the use of social support and religiosity to cope with trauma. The current study investigates the relationship between these two coping strategies and posttrauma symptoms in a sample of 413 African American female sexual assault survivors using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. Findings indicated that survivors with greater social support were less likely to endorse the symptoms of depression and PTSD. Conversely, increased use of religious coping was related to greater endorsement of depression and PTSD symptoms. Counseling and research implications are explored.
