Abstract
Psychosocial Damage to children who experience sexual and physical abuse in Mafikeng, Ha Motoko, Lesotho
THEME 1: Promoting stakeholder partnerships that protect, support and enhance resilience during adverse events and trauma
SUB 1.2 The protection of physical and psychological health and wellbeing of children, people with disabilities, and older people through fostering safe, sustainable, and inclusive living spaces
Poster Presentation
Child abuse, encompassing sexual and physical forms, is prevalent worldwide, often perpetrated by close relatives. This study explores the psychological and social repercussions of sexual and physical abuse on children, incorporating insights from victims, caregivers, and key informants. Results reveal a host of negative consequences, including symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, impaired relationships, and social isolation. Promoting awareness campaigns and educating caregivers on handling cases of abuse is recommended.
The study aligns with interpretivism as the research paradigm and employs a qualitative approach and study design. Data collection was premised on in-depth interviews, which was meticulously analyzed and organized with the utilization of narrative and conservation data analysis techniques. Ethical considerations, such as confidentiality, informed consent, and trustworthiness were integral to the study’s implementation.
