Abstract

Survivors Healing from Abuse: Recovery through Exposure (SHARE) is an eight-week therapy group for incarcerated women who have experienced sexual violence victimization. SHARE requires each member to complete an imaginal exposure and to listen when others share their experiences of victimization. While trauma-focused group interventions including SHARE are associated with reductions in internalizing symptoms, little work has examined how group characteristics predict symptom decreases. The purpose of this study was to examine whether group size was associated with symptom changes pre- to post-treatment. Participants (n=140 across 29 groups) completed self-report measures of posttraumatic stress symptoms before and after completing SHARE. Multilevel modeling revealed the majority of the variance in post-treatment symptoms was attributed to individual factors rather than group factors. Symptom change was comparable for groups of two to eight women; declines in symptom improvement were observed at a group size of ten participants.

小组规模重要吗？在性暴力受害后接受心理治疗的被监禁妇女中，小组规模与症状缓解。

从虐待中康复的幸存者：通过暴露获得康复（SHARE）是一个为期八周的治疗小组，面向曾遭受性暴力侵害的被监禁妇女。SHARE 要求每位成员完成意象暴露，并倾听他人分享受害经历。虽然包括 SHARE 在内的以创伤为重点的小组干预与内化症状的减少有关，但很少有研究小组特征如何预测症状的减少。本研究的目的是探讨小组规模是否与治疗前和治疗后的症状变化有关。参与者（29 个小组，人数为 140 人）在完成 SHARE 治疗前后完成了创伤后应激症状的自我报告测量。多层次建模显示，治疗后症状的大部分差异归因于个人因素而非小组因素。症状变化在 2 到 8 名女性组成的小组中具有可比性；在 10 名参与者组成的小组中，症状改善程度有所下降。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
