Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2003. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study investigated demographic and family variables as possible risk factors for
child sexual abuse within a sample of children and adolescents who have been
exposed to a range of life-threatening traumas. A total of 94 traumatised children and
adolescents were interviewed about their sexual abuse history. Forty females
(42.56%) and 10 males (10.63%) reported sexual abuse. Family and demographic
variables that were found to be significantly associated with increased risk of sexual
abuse were female gender (!2 = 13.575, Q. < 0.05), family structure (growing up with
parents who are single, divorced or widowed) (!2 = 6.327, Q. < 0.05) or a family with a
member who receives a disability grant (!2 = 4.657, Q. < 0.05). / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie studie is ondersoek ingestel na demografiese en gesinsverander1ikes as
moontlike risiko-factore vir kindermolestering in 'n steekproef kinders en adolessente
wat aan 'n breë spektrum lewensbedreigende traumas blootgestel was. Onderhoude
oor 'n moontlike geskiedenis van seksuele misbruik is met 94 kinders en adolessente
gevoer. Veertig dogters (42.56%) en 10 seuns (10.63%) het seksuele molestering
gerapporteer. Gesins- en demografiese veranderlikes wat betekenisvol met
verhoogde risiko vir kindermolestering verband gehou het, was vroulike geslag ~2 =
13.575, g < 0.05), gesinstruktuur (om op te groei in 'n gesin met 'n enkel-ouer, 'n
geskeide ouer of met een ouer oorlede) ~2 = 6.327, g < 0.05), en 'n gesin waarin 'n
familie-lid 'n ongeskikheidstoelaag ontvang het ~2 = 4.657, g < 0.05).
