Abstract

Background: A qualitative systematic review was undertaken to identify the therapeutic impact of arts-based activities as experienced by adults sexually abused in childhood.

Methods: Sixteen studies, identified through a systematic search protocol , were included in a thematic synthesis. Quality of studies was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme tool.

Findings: Arts-based activities were identified as offering a safe space, in which to find a voice, to engage in self-exploration, and to communicate experience and connect with others where a new sense of self and empowerment could emerge.

Conclusion: Creative activities can play a significant role in the unique paths to recovery that sexual abuse survivors develop. Limitations to the review derive from the small number of papers, methodological weaknesses of the studies and the variation in focus. More research is needed into impact of specific media, and barriers and enablers to using creative activities as a resource.

使用“艺术”作为一种资源从童年性虐待的影响中恢复:一项定性的系统回顾。

背景:本研究进行了一项定性系统评价，以确定儿童时期遭受性虐待的成年人所经历的艺术活动的治疗效果。方法:通过系统搜索方案确定的16项研究被纳入专题综合。使用关键评估技能计划工具评估研究的质量。研究发现:以艺术为基础的活动被认为提供了一个安全的空间，在这个空间里，人们可以找到自己的声音，进行自我探索，交流经验，与他人联系，从而产生一种新的自我意识和赋权感。结论:创造性活动可以在性虐待幸存者发展的独特的康复途径中发挥重要作用。本综述的局限性在于论文数量少、研究方法上的弱点和研究重点的变化。需要对特定媒体的影响以及利用创造性活动作为资源的障碍和促进因素进行更多的研究。
