The significantly higher prevalence of suicide attempts and self-harm should draw particular attention to the risk of a history of sexual assault, as these symptoms are strongly associated in our study. The significantly higher prevalence of depression and borderline personality disorder may provide a better understanding of the repercussions of sexual assault in adolescence. The short delay between the sexual assault and its disclosure in our observation, and the fact that most disclosures of intra-family sexual assaults were made during hospitalization, underline the value of systematic hospitalization of adolescents, particularly after a suicide attempt. The reassuring environment of hospitalization may encourage a more rapid disclosure of sexual assault, and thus lessen its devastating psychic effects during adolescence. A potential weakness of our study is that, even in a specialized service, such antecedents are probably still undervalued and insufficiently noted in medical records. More attention should certainly be paid during child psychiatric interviews to any history of sexual assault. Nevertheless, given the scarcity of systematic studies on the subject, this study paves the way for prospective studies. Recommendations can also be made for less serious situations, with no proven psychiatric disorders, but following a suicide attempt. In such cases, the patient could be hospitalized in a pediatric ward, with appropriate psychological support, rather than in a child psychiatry ward.

This new law carried several legislative transformations towards a better recognition and protection of children and adolescents who are victims of such violence. This societal and political concern was also exposed by the creation in 2020 by the French government of the Independent Commission on Incest and Sexual Violence against Children. In 2022, this commission issued a certain number of recommendations aimed at professionals in contact with minors, particularly in the field of paediatrics and child psychiatry. We propose in this article, in the light of the current context, to review and comment on how the scientific and medical community has been interested in this question since the 19th century, going through several periods of polemics, before arriving at the interest that exists today for this subject. By studying the scientific literature available since the 1990s, it appears that sexual violence among minors and their psychological reactions has constituted a subject of research that is now very topical, yet still complex to study, concerned by very specific ethical and methodological issues. Data concerning the long-term psychological consequences of sexual violence suffered in childhood and adolescence are quite numerous, demonstrating a considerable impact on mental health, with increased risks of anxiety-depressive disorders, post-traumatic stress disorders, and an increased suicidal risk. On the other hand, the literature focusing on more immediate consequences is less extensive and appears to be an area in which medical research can still develop. We present an inventory focusing on the psychological and psychiatric consequences in adolescents whose clinical traits of trauma, intertwined with that of adolescence, can be confusing. If medical research has provided much data on the psychopathological impact of sexual violence for over 30 years, many areas of research remain to be considered, in particular in the field of child psychiatry and within the framework of care services, to continue to understand this delicate topic.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":39666,"journal":{"name":"Neuropsychiatrie de l''Enfance et de l''Adolescence","volume":"72 1","pages":"Pages 1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139719512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In adolescents, it can result in endangerment or self-aggressive behaviour such as suicide attempts. Its detection by health professionals is therefore an important issue in order to provide these young people with appropriate medical and social care. Professional recommendations call for systematic hospitalization of adolescents who have attempted suicide, but these recommendations have not yet been widely applied. At the Robert-Ballanger hospital (Aulnay-sous-Bois, Seine-St-Denis, France), a specific protocol has been established between paediatrics and child psychiatry departments, allowing all suicidal adolescents to be hospitalized in paediatrics. We conducted a study to take advantage of this hospitalization time to better identify sexual violence in adolescents.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>We conducted a retrospective study based on the analysis of the medical records of 138 adolescents hospitalized in the paediatric ward and followed by the child psychiatry liaison team at the centre hospitalier Robert-Ballanger (Aulnay-sous-Bois) in 2021.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>We found significantly more sexually assaulted adolescents among those hospitalized for suicidal gestures or ideas (12 out of 54; 22%) than among those hospitalized for other reasons (5 out of 84; 6%). The sexual assaults described by the adolescents concerned were consistent with data from epidemiological studies and French victimization surveys : they mainly concerned girls (14 out of 17), were repeated assaults in three quarters of cases, and were intrafamilial assaults in one third of cases. The disclosure was often made to a caregiver (for 5 of 17 adolescents). Adolescents with a history of sexual assault were more concerned with intrafamilial violence but also with school harassment. We found a significantly higher number of suicide attempts among sexually assaulted adolescents, as well as a higher number of suicide attempts requiring hospitalization in intensive care.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Paediatric hospitalization of adolescents attempting suicide appears to be an interesting tool for identifying a history of sexual assault in these young people. Our study highlights an over-representation of sexually assaulted adolescents among those treated for suicidal thoughts or suicide attempts, as well as specific factors that should be vigilantly monitored.
