dc.description.abstractAim: Acute stress disorder, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can be seen in people who have been sexually assaulted. The aim of this study is to evaluate the socio-demographic characteristics of cases that are exposed to sexual assault and their relationship with PTSD. Materials and Methods: The forensic reports of 175 sexual assault cases were analyzed retrospectively who were assessed in terms of physical and mental health disorders by Hatay Forensic Medicine Directorate between January 2011-March 2013. Results: Of all victims, 143 (81,7%) were female and 32 (18,3%) were male. The ages of cases were ranged between 1 and 71 (median: male: 12, female: 16). It was determined that PTSD was developed in 47 victims after sexual assault and 3 cases were referred to a higher center. Sexual assaults were occurred more often in the home environment and victims were assaulted by people they knew (n: 123, 70,3%). PTSD development was significantly higher in victims who were assaulted by anal and vaginal route (p<0,001). There was no significant difference in the presence of PTSD between male and female victims. However it is observed that presence of PTSD increases with age (p<0,05). Conclusion: As a conclusion it is found that sexual assault by anal and vaginal region and older ages are the significant risk factors for development of PTSD. © 2015, Adnan Çelikel et al.en_US
