Although sexual assaults on female university students are a public health concern, studies that have examined this issue have not used behaviorally specific definitions of the various types of sexual victimization. Furthermore, hardly any data exists on female Spanish university students. The objectives of this study were to analyze the prevalence of different forms of sexual assault against female Spanish university students, determine the risk factors associated with sexual assault, analyze the association between sexual victimization and mental health problems, and determine the differential risk of more serious types of sexual assault. A cross-sectional study was conducted among a random sample of 871 students from the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain) (mean age 20.7 years, SD = 2.8). The current study assessed various types of sexual violence (i.e., unwanted sexual contact, attempted coercion, coercion, attempted rape, rape), as well as rates of depression, anxiety, stress, eating disorders, substance abuse, suicide risk, and suicide attempts. Of the female students surveyed, 28.5% had suffered some form of sexual violence during the previous year, 22.3% reported unwanted sexual contact, 8.8% attempted coercion, 6.5% coercion, 10.4% attempted rape, and 7.9% had been raped. Lower risk was associated with having a partner and being heterosexual. Being 18 years of age and prior experiences of sexual victimization were associated with higher risk. Being the victim of attempted coercion was associated with a higher risk of depression, while victims of attempted rape were at higher risk for substance use. Rape victims were at the highest risk for all mental health conditions studied, with the exception of suicide attempts. Due to the high rates at which Spanish female university students experience sexual violence, planning and resources are needed to address their mental health needs, especially those who are victims of rape.

女大学生的性受害与心理健康

尽管对女大学生的性侵犯是一个公共卫生问题,但研究这个问题的研究并未使用对各种类型的性受害行为的具体定义。此外,几乎没有关于西班牙女大学生的数据。本研究的目的是分析针对西班牙女大学生的不同形式性侵犯的流行率,确定与性侵犯相关的风险因素,分析性侵犯与心理健康问题之间的关联,并确定更严重的不同风险性侵犯的类型。在圣地亚哥德孔波斯特拉大学(西班牙)的 871 名学生(平均年龄 20.7 岁,SD= 2.8)。目前的研究评估了各种类型的性暴力(即不必要的性接触、胁迫未遂、胁迫、强奸未遂、强奸),以及抑郁、焦虑、压力、饮食失调、药物滥用、自杀风险和自杀未遂的发生率. 在接受调查的女学生中,28.5% 的女学生在上一年遭受过某种形式的性暴力,22.3% 的人报告了不想要的性接触,8.8% 的胁迫未遂,6.5% 的胁迫,10.4% 的强奸未遂,7.9% 的人被强奸。较低的风险与拥有伴侣和异性恋有关。年满 18 岁且有过性受害经历与较高的风险相关。作为未遂胁迫的受害者,患抑郁症的风险更高,而强奸未遂的受害者使用药物的风险更高。除自杀未遂外,强奸受害者在所研究的所有心理健康状况中的风险最高。由于西班牙女大学生遭受性暴力的比率很高,因此需要规划和资源来满足她们的心理健康需求,尤其是那些成为强奸受害者的人。
