Professional’s Perceptions on Coping Strategies Amongst Sexually Abused Girls in Kandy, Sri Lanka

Johansson, Rachel January 2020 (has links)
Child sexual abuse is an ongoing societal problem, causing severe trauma to vulnerable individuals and evoking all manner of coping strategies in managing the aftermath of their experiences.  Whilst extensive research has directed attention onto sexual abuse and the coping strategies that result from such trauma, very few studies have concentrated on the professional perceptions when supporting sexually abused girls using coping strategies to combat their trauma. Therefore, this research intends to provide an exploration into how professionals perceive the coping strategies used by sexually abused girls in a non-governmental organisation (NGO) residential girl’s home in Kandy, Sri Lanka. Using semistructured interviews via email and individual video recorded zoom meetings from three participants: comprising of a director/counsellor, English teacher, and practitioner. The findings suggested that cultural/societal background, therapies, and interventions have led to or encouraged positive or negative outcomes and coping strategies aside from the sexual abuse trauma.
