Abstract

Sexual violence has often caused distress to many people, and a lot has been written proposing solutions to this vice. Restoring hope among people who have been affected by sexual violence in Secondary schools in Bundibugyo District requires concerted effort and adopting ways that help to relieve the affected people of stress resulting from their experience with sexual violence. The current study focused on how therapeutic painting can be utilised to describe in detail lived experiences relating to ever-increasing sexual violence in secondary schools in the Bundibugyo district. Despite the various forms of violence that affect secondary school students, sexual violence seems to be a vice that greatly affects school children, and young children are always shy to verbally express how they are affected. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between Visual art therapy and sexual violence expression by students in selected Secondary Schools in Bundibugyo District. The following objective guided the study: To examine the statistical relationship between therapeutic painting and sexual violence expression by students in selected Secondary Schools in Bundibugyo District. 400 S2 students participated in this study, these included; Semuriki High School-Izahura-163, Bukonjo Seed School-17, Bundikahungu Seed school-75, St Mary’s Simbya Secondary School-145. Methodology entailed methods such as in-session semi-structured interviews, observation methods, and focus group discussion. An explanatory sequential design was adopted in this study. The study established that there was a statistically significant difference in means; thus, there was a relationship between therapeutic painting and sexual violence expressed by students in selected Secondary Schools in Bundibugyo District (z =-6.736, p <0.0001). Hence, the null hypothesis was rejected. The findings led to the conclusion that therapeutic painting intervention helped to improve the expression of sexual violence among victims, helped them to gain relaxation, lost hope, and lessened the anxiety that had resulted from their experience with sexual violence
治疗性绘画与乌干达本迪布吉区部分中学学生所表达的性暴力
性暴力常常给许多人带来痛苦,已经有许多文章提出了解决这一恶习的办法。要让本迪布格约区中学的性暴力受害者重燃希望,就必须齐心协力,采取各种方法帮助受影响者缓解因性暴力经历而产生的压力。本研究的重点是如何利用治疗性绘画来详细描述与本迪布京区中学中日益增多的性暴力有关的生活经历。尽管影响中学生的暴力形式多种多样,但性暴力似乎是一种对学童影响极大的恶习,而年幼的学童总是羞于用言语表达他们受到的影响。因此,本研究旨在调查视觉艺术疗法与本迪布格约区部分中学的学生所表达的性暴力之间的关系。研究目标如下研究治疗性绘画与本迪布约地区部分中学学生的性暴力表达之间的统计关系。400 名中二学生参与了这项研究,其中包括:Semuriki High School-Izahura 163 人、Bukonjo Seed School 17 人、Bundikahungu Seed School 75 人、St Mary's Simbya Secondary School 145 人。研究方法包括现场半结构式访谈、观察法和焦点小组讨论。本研究采用了解释性顺序设计。研究结果表明,平均值之间存在显著的统计学差异;因此,治疗性绘画与本迪布格约区所选中学的学生所表达的性暴力之间存在关系(z =-6.736,p <0.0001)。因此,否定了零假设。研究结果得出的结论是,治疗性绘画干预有助于改善性暴力受害者的表达方式,帮助他们获得放松、失去希望,并减轻他们因遭受性暴力而产生的焦虑。
