{"title":"A systematic review and meta-analysis of medical and psychosocial care procedures for children and adolescents after (online) sexual abuse","authors":"Rebecca Menhart ,&nbsp;Kerstin Stellermann-Strehlow ,&nbsp;Astrid Helling-Bakki ,&nbsp;Rita Horvay ,&nbsp;Nele Dippel ,&nbsp;Sibylle Maria Winter","doi":"10.1016/j.chiabu.2025.107540","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.chiabu.2025.107540","url":null,"abstract":"<div><h3>Background and objective</h3><div>Child sexual abuse (CSA) and online child sexual abuse (OCSA) continue to pose an increasing challenge. Although structured interventions exist for CSA, no established framework currently addresses OCSA, and research on effective care procedures is scarce.

Psychosocial interventions (36 articles) showed a high degree of diversity, with trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), adapted forms of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), group therapy and individual settings proving particularly effective. A subgroup meta-analysis of 31 psychosocial studies yielded a weighted mean effect size of 1.14 [0.98; 1.29], indicating the effectiveness of all psychotherapeutic interventions, with a high heterogeneity of <em>I</em>² = 82 %.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>The review reveals a research gap, the lack of studies on interventions and their effectiveness in OCSA, which urgently needs to be addressed. It highlights the need for comprehensive, interdisciplinary medical and psychosocial interventions after CSA, whereby adapted interventions for OCSA are needed. This study is limited by the absence of OCSA-specific interventions, constraints on subgroup analyses due to limited data, and the high heterogeneity of included psychosocial studies. Further research on procedures specific to OCSA and training for professionals dealing with it are strongly indicated.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51343,"journal":{"name":"Child Abuse & Neglect","volume":"166 ","pages":"Article 107540"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144169120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
