Abstract

Abstract Commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) involves sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, leading to traumatization. Interventions show promise in preventing revictimization and facilitating the integration of victims into communities. This study describes the development and pilot implementation of Ending the Game® (ETG), a psychoeducational curriculum for victims of CSE. The program follows a peer-support model and is open to youth and adult victims. The study aimed to assess program engagement, curriculum acceptability, and potential for effectiveness. Findings indicated the rate of attrition comparable to other group curricula and low rate of non-response, particularly on Likert-scale and dichotomous items. Curriculum acceptability was high in terms of content, facilitators, and group environment. The t-test comparisons showed positive trends in improvement of regulatory capacity, relational capacity, sense of self, and future orientation. Taken together, findings demonstrate the utility of ETG in supporting youth and adult victims of CSE, pending modifications to align curriculum with evidence-based practices.

结束游戏®:商业性剥削受害者的新心理教育课程

商业性剥削(CSE)涉及性、身体和精神虐待，导致精神创伤。干预措施在防止再次受害和促进受害者融入社区方面显示出希望。本研究描述了结束游戏®(ETG)的开发和试点实施，这是一门针对CSE受害者的心理教育课程。该项目采用同伴支持模式，向青少年和成年受害者开放。这项研究的目的是评估项目的参与、课程的可接受性和潜在的有效性。研究结果表明，损耗率与其他小组课程相当，无反应率低，特别是在李克特量表和二分题上。课程的可接受性在内容、辅导员和小组环境方面较高。在调节能力、关系能力、自我意识、未来取向等方面均呈现正向发展趋势。综上所述，研究结果表明ETG在支持青少年和成人CSE受害者方面的效用，有待修改以使课程与循证实践相一致。
