Résumé
Cette étude s’intéresse aux symptômes de 30 adolescentes prises en charge par les services de protection de la jeunesse à la suite d’agressions sexuelles. En plus de tracer un profil psychologique de ces adolescentes, l’étude décrit les agressions sexuelles vécues, les services reçus et identifie les facteurs susceptibles d’être liés aux symptômes. Les résultats montrent que les adolescentes présentent plusieurs problèmes psychologiques et que la majorité d’entre elles vivent une détresse nécessitant une intervention clinique. Les agressions sexuelles se situent à l’extrémité la plus sévère du large éventail rapporté dans la littérature et les services sont peu fréquents et irréguliers. Les symptômes sont associés au temps écoulé depuis la fin des agressions et aux services reçus. La discussion souligne l’importance de l’adéquation entre les services et le profil psychologique de chaque adolescente en proposant un modèle de guérison.
Abstract
This study examines the symptoms of 30 adolescent girls who are under child protection care following sexual assault. In addition to describing the psychological profile of these adolescents, the study describes the sexual abuse, services received, and identifies factors that are likely to be linked to symptoms. Results show that adolescents present many psychological problems and that the majority experience distress necessitating clinical attention. Sexual abuses are at the extreme end of the large continuum reported in the literature and services are infrequent and irregular. Symptoms are associated with the time elapsed since the last sexual abuse and with services received. The discussion highlights the importance of adequacy between services and psychological profile of each adolescent while suggesting a model of recovery.
Resumen
Este estudio se interesa en los síntomas de 30 adolescentes que han sido tomados a cargo por los servicos de protección a la juventud después de haber sufrido agresiones sexuales. Además de trazar un perfil psicológico de estos adolescentes, el estudio describe las agresiones sexuales vividas, los servicios recibidos e identifica los factores susceptibles de ser ligados a los síntomas. Los resultados muestran que los adolescentes presentan varios problemas psicológicos y que la mayoría de ellas vive una aflicción que necesita una intervención clínica. Las agresiones sexuales se sitúan al extremo más severo de la amplia gama reportada en la literatura y los servicios son poco frecuentes e irregulares. Los síntomas están asociados al tiempo transcurrido desde el fin de las agresiones hasta los servicios recibidos. La discusión subraya la importancia de la adecuación entre los servicios y el perfil psicológico de cada adolescente y propone un modelo de cura.

Este estudo enfoca os sintomas de 30 adolescentes atendidas pelos serviços de proteção da criança e do adolescente após terem sofrido agressões sexuais. Além de fazer um perfil psicológico destas adolescentes, o estudo descreve as agressões sexuais vividas, os atendimentos recebidos e identifica os fatores susceptíveis de estarem relacionados aos sintomas.
