Ethical assessment of privacy breaches in epidemiological investigations and information disclosure in the internet age: safeguarding identity information for infectious patients

While the Internet has brought convenience and speed to human life, it has also led to frequent privacy violations. In the context of epidemiological investigations and information disclosure regarding confirmed Covid-19 patients, many individuals have utilized the Internet as a means to disseminate information and engage in cyber manhunts, resulting in breaches of privacy for those involved. This phenomenon is particularly prevalent within the realm of the Internet, where the boundaries of privacy invasion become blurred. Various types of privacy infringements, both active and passive negligence, are evident on social networking platforms. The juxtaposition of the virtual world of the Internet with real-life scenarios presents novel challenges in the realm of privacy violations. The Internet era, coupled with the widespread use and integration of big data, has diminished the absolute right to privacy on the Internet. This paper examines the challenge of safeguarding the identity information of infectious patients through the lens of two theoretical frameworks -Kantianism and Utilitarianism- in an effort to address this ethical dilemma.

Aunque Internet ha aportado comodidad y rapidez a la vida humana, también ha dado lugar a frecuentes violaciones de la intimidad. En el contexto de las investigaciones epidemiológicas y la divulgación de información relativa a pacientes confirmados de covid-19, muchas personas han utilizado Internet como medio para difundir información y participar en cibercacerías, lo que ha dado lugar a violaciones en la intimidad de los implicados. Este fenómeno prevalece en el ámbito de Internet, donde los límites de la invasión de la intimidad se vuelven vagos. En las redes sociales, se manifiestan diversos tipos de violaciones de la intimidad, tanto por negligencia activa como pasiva. La yuxtaposición entre el mundo virtual de Internet con escenarios de la vida real plantea nuevos retos en el ámbito de las violaciones de la intimidad. La era de Internet, junto con el uso generalizado y la integración del bigdata, han mermado el derecho absoluto a la privacidad. Este artículo examina el reto de salvaguardar la información sobre la identidad de los pacientes infecciosos a través de la lente de dos marcos teóricos -el kantianismo y el utilitarismo- en un esfuerzo por abordar este dilema ético.

Enquanto a Internet trouxe conveniência e velocidade à vida humana, ela também levou a frequentes violações da privacidade. No contexto de investigações epidemiológicas e divulgação de informações em relação a pacientes confirmados de Covid-19, muitos indivíduos utilizaram a Internet como um meio para disseminar informação e participar de uma caçada cibernética, resultando em violações da privacidade para aqueles envolvidos. Esse fenômeno é particularmente prevalente no âmbito da Internet, onde os limites de invasão da privacidade se tornaram borrados. Vários tipos de infrações da privacidade, tanto negligências ativa como passiva, são evidentes em plataformas de redes sociais. A justaposição do mundo virtual da Internet com cenários da vida real apresenta novos desafios no âmbito das violações da privacidade. A era da Internet, juntamente com o amplo uso e integração de megadados (big data), diminuiu o direito absoluto à privacidade na Internet. Esse artigo examina o desafio de proteger a informação de identidade de pacientes infectantes através das lentes de dois enquadres teóricos -Kantianismo e Utilitarismo- em um esforço para abordar esse dilema ético.

[Addressing sexual violence in health services]. / La violencia sexual y su abordaje en el sistema de salud.

Sexual violence is a very underdetected public health problem, with important short and long-term consequences on physical, mental, social, sexual and reproductive health, which must be taken into account by health services. Health systems are part of the set of resources necessary for a comprehensive approach from the ecological model: prevention and promotion of healthy sexuality with equality, adequate and coordinated care in the event of sexual assault and subsequent support to prevent sequelae. All sexual violence has health consequences, even those that may seem less serious such as sexual harassment or sexual cyberviolence. We must know the needs of the victim and their possible emotional reactions. A risk assessment will be carried out, the victim will be referred to a hospital if necessary and comprehensive and integrated care will be provided. Care and follow-up must focus on the survivor and with professionals trained in trauma to understand the consequences of sexual violence, offer a safe and trusting environment and know how to reinforce their qualities and support.

Rethinking sexual violence labels: exploring the impact of 'victim' and 'survivor' discourse.

Background: Universities' responses to sexual violence have faced scrutiny for their lack of proactiveness and their failure to address campus socio-cultural norms that contribute to rape myth acceptance. The labels victim and survivor play a crucial role in shaping attitudes toward sexual violence, but there is limited research on how university students perceive these labels.Objective: This paper explores sexual violence labels and their role in perpetuating rape culture. Undergraduate university students' beliefs on using the label survivor instead of victim to describe someone who has experienced sexual violence were examined to consider how these labels create societal discourse on sexual violence.Method: The study draws on qualitative data collected from undergraduate students in Canada and the United States through open-response questions in an interactive textbook. Data were analysed and interpreted using a multi-method approach that combined principles of Critical Discourse Analysis and Feminist Poststructuralism. Direct quotes and word clouds from participants' responses are used as evidence and to visually display discourse.Results: Findings revealed that participants recognised the negative societal discourses associated with the label victim and supported using survivor to challenge perceptions of sexual violence. Despite this, participants expressed hesitancy to adopt the label survivor because of the potential negative implications, such as the label promoting the allocation of individual blame, increasing barriers to justice, and reducing the perceived severity of sexual violence.Conclusions: This study underscores the complexities of sexual violence labels, the influence of language in shaping societal perceptions, and the need for a more comprehensive and equitable approach to responding to sexual violence.

Dichotomy of Labels and Nuanced Perceptions: Sexual violence labels shape identity perceptions. Participants dichotomised the labels victim and survivor, associating one with negative attributes and the other with positive attributes. However, nuanced views of how people perceive and identify with these labels challenge distinct categories. Victims being negatively perceived, while survivors are admired for their resiliency highlights complexities in societal expectations that may not fully address the underlying determinants of sexual violence.Role of Language in Reproduction of Rape Culture: Poststructuralist theories emphasise the role of language in the production and maintenance of discourse. The study shows that victim discourse is steeped in rape myths. The historical discourse surrounding the label may contribute to the perpetuation of negative attitudes and behaviours toward victims of sexual violence. The emergence of the label survivor reflects a societal shift, but findings suggest this may lead to societal complacency towards sexual violence.Spectrum of Severity and Societal Empathy: Participants' understanding of sexual violence as a spectrum of severity may lead to unequal levels of empathy and support. This discourse creates positions of dominance and oppression, potentially marginalising certain groups who are disproportionately affected by sexual violence. The study highlights how severity discourse can influence institutional agendas and may result in political and institutional neglect of sexual violence.

Cross-sectional examination of correlates of sexual victimization disclosure via #MeToo.

Background: Sexual victimization is a serious public health problem, with a range of negative impacts on mental and physical health. Responses that individuals get to disclosure of sexual victimization play an important role in recovery. With the increased use of social media, more survivors are talking about their experiences of sexual victimization online. Research is needed to document the correlates of online disclosure of sexual victimization.Objective: The current study examined the role of demographic characteristics, assault severity, coping strategies, and social isolation as putative correlates of disclosing sexual victimization online via the hashtag #MeToo.Methods: A sample of 637 adults recruited via social media who reported a history of sexual victimization since the age of 14 completed self-report surveys using online survey software to assess disclosure of sexual victimization, assault severity, coping strategies, and social isolation.Results: Multivariate analyses suggest that levels of emotion-focused coping were positively associated with the disclosure of sexual victimization online via #MeToo. Further, individuals who had experienced completed rape by verbal coercion were less likely to disclose via #MeToo, compared to individuals who experienced other forms of assault.Conclusion: Coping strategies and assault severity play an important role in determining whether survivors disclose sexual victimization online via #MeToo. Findings suggest that individuals may disclose via #MeToo to seek support or express their emotions. Further, individuals whose sexual victimization experiences do not conform to 'typical' sexual victimization experiences are less likely to disclose via #MeToo.

HIGHLIGHTSGreater reported use of emotion-focused coping is associated with an increased likelihood of disclosing via #MeToo.Individuals who experienced completed rape by verbal coercion were less likely to disclose via #MeToo, compared to individuals who experienced other forms of assault.Findings highlight the need to further investigate correlates of disclosure via #MeToo.

Identification and Attribution of Blame in Rape Situations by University Students / Identificação e Responsabilização de Situações de Estupro por Estudantes Universitários / Identificación y Responsabilización de Situaciones de Violación por Estudiantes Universitarios

Abstract Although society criminalizes rape, many institutions reproduce stereotypes of this sexual assault. Rape can also occur in the university and in various ways that do not correspond to its stereotypes. The article aimed to evaluate how undergraduates identify situations of rape and how they attribute fault to the victim and the aggressor. 228 participants commented on fictional stories of rape that manipulated the variables: sexual assault with or without penetration; previous behavior of the victim; previous relationship between the characters; and presence or absence of physical strength in the rape. The results showed that these variables influence the identification of rape and that male students tend to blame victims more than female students. Understanding the multiple variables that affect identification and attribution of blame can lead to more effective sexual violence prevention and intervention strategies.

Resumo Embora a sociedade tipifique o crime de estupro, muitas instituições reproduzem estereótipos desta violência sexual. Nas universidades, o estupro pode ocorrer de diversas maneiras que não correspondem ao seu estereótipo. O objetivo deste estudo foi aferir como alunos/as de graduação identificam situações de estupro nas interações entre acadêmicos/as e como atribuem responsabilidade à vítima e aos agressores. Para isso, 228 participantes opinaram sobre histórias fictícias de estupro que manipulavam as variáveis: violência sexual com ou sem penetração; comportamento prévio da vítima; relacionamento prévio entre os personagens e a presença ou ausência de força física no estupro. Os resultados mostraram que essas variáveis influenciam na identificação do estupro e que os universitários homens tendem a culpabilizar mais as vítimas do que as universitárias mulheres. Compreender os múltiplos fatores que afetam a identificação e responsabilização de situações de violência sexual pode subsidiar estratégias mais efetivas de intervenção e prevenção.

Resumen Aunque la sociedad tipifique el delito de violación, sus estereotipos todavía son reproducidos por varias instituciones. En el contexto universitario, la violación puede ocurrir de varias maneras que no corresponden a lo que se concibe en su estereotipo. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este artículo fue evaluar cómo los estudiantes de grado identifican las situaciones de violación y cómo se lleva a cabo la asignación de responsabilización de la víctima y de los agresores. Para esto, 228 participantes comentaron sobre historias ficticias de violación que manipulaban las variables: violación con o sin penetración; comportamiento previo de la víctima; relación previa entre los personajes y la presencia o ausencia de fuerza física. Se concluyó que estas variables influyen en la identificación de la violación y que los estudiantes hombres tienden a culpar más a las víctimas que las estudiantes mujeres. Se espera que comprender los múltiples factores que influyen en la identificación y responsabilización de situaciones de violencia sexual puede auxiliar estrategias más efectivas para actividades de intervención y prevención.

A comparison of two strategies to assess sexual violence: general vs. specialised trauma screening strategies in two high-risk substance use health disparity samples.

Background/Objective: Using two different high-risk samples, the present study compared and contrasted two different strategies/questionnaire types for assessing a history of sexual violence: a general trauma screening vs. specialised behaviourally-specific questionnaires.Methods: Sample 1 included 91 men and women seeking detoxification treatment services in a publicly funded, urban clinic who completed a trauma and substance use questionnaire battery during treatment. Sample 2 included 310 women at a rural college who completed a trauma and religious coping questionnaire battery for course credit. All participants completed both types of questionnaires: One general trauma screening questionnaire (i.e. the Life Events Checklist [LEC]) and two behaviourally-specific specialised questionnaires (i.e. the 2007 Sexual Experiences Survey [SES] and the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire [CTQ]).Results: There were large differences in the cases identified by the behaviourally-specific questionnaires (SES and CTQ) compared to the general trauma screening questionnaire (the LEC) in both samples but few differences in the prevalence rates of sexual violence detected by each questionnaire type. In the detoxification sample, the differences were especially notable for men. Follow-up analyses indicated that degree of traumatisation impacted results likely by increasing participant's willingness to endorse face-valid items on the LEC.Conclusions: For men, the behaviourally-specific questionnaires (SES/CTQ) were necessary to identify cases. For those with more severe trauma histories, the LEC was equivalent to the SES/CTQ in identifying a similar number of sexual violence cases. Thus, clinicians and researchers should consider the population when selecting assessments to identify sexual violence history.

For men and rural college women, general trauma questionnaires are not as accurate as specialised sexual violence measures in detecting cases.While prevalence rates were often similar, which cases were detected by general trauma and specialised questionnaires were different.Individuals with greater trauma exposure were more likely to endorse face-valid sexual violence items on the general trauma questionnaires.

Valoración de las lesiones físicas en 702 casos de violencia sexual en la provincia de Alicante (2016-2020) / Analysis of injuries in 702 cases of sexual assault in Alicante (Spain) during the years (2016-2020)

Introducción: el objetivo principal de este trabajo es analizar las características de las víctimas y circunstancias de la violencia sexual asociadas con un mayor riesgo de presentar lesiones físicas, así como determinar la frecuencia y severidad de las mismas. Material y Métodos estudio descriptivo retrospectivo de 702 casos de violencia sexual atendidos en el Instituto de Medicina Legal y Ciencias Forenses de Alicante entre 2016 y 2020. Se ha realizado un estudio comparativo entre las víctimas de violencia sexual con lesiones físicas y sin lesiones, para analizar las variables asociadas que pueden influir en su presentación. Resultados del total de 702 víctimas de violencia sexual, 314 casos (44,8%) presentaban lesiones físicas. Las víctimas con lesiones físicas la mayoría eran mujeres (95,5%), entre 18 y 27 años (31,3%), que referían un consumo voluntario previo de sustancias, fundamentalmente de alcohol (50%). Las lesiones físicas más frecuentes fueron a nivel extragenital (38,6%), seguidas de lesiones a nivel anogenital (15%), de carácter leve en la mayoría de los casos (97,5%). Los días totales de curación fueron menores o iguales a una semana (83,4%). La mayoría se curó sin secuelas (97,1%). Las víctimas que presentaron secuelas (9 casos), las más frecuentes fueron de carácter psíquico (1,6%). Conclusiones la violencia sexual en el grupo de víctimas con lesiones físicas se asocia a factores de vulnerabilidad para la víctima: sexo femenino, edad entre 18 y 27 años y consumo previo de alcohol. Nuestro estudio confirma que las lesiones anogenitales son poco frecuentes en la mayoría de las víctimas de violencia sexual, por lo que su ausencia no puede descartar el haber sufrido violencia sexual. Las lesiones físicas encontradas fueron de carácter leve en la mayoría de los casos. La ausencia de secuelas psíquicas en muchas de las víctimas puede estar condicionado por el escaso seguimiento de las mismas. (AU)

Introduction: The aim of this paper is to analyze the characteristics of the victims and the circumstances of sexual violence related with the risk of physical lesions, as well as to determine the frequency and severity of the injuries. Material and methods Descriptive study of 702 cases of sexual assault attended at the Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences of Alicante between the years 2016–2020. A comparative study was carried out between victims with and without injuries, to identify the variables associated to their presentation. Results 314 victims attended showed physical injuries (44,8%). Profile of the victims with injuries were women (95.5%), aged 18 to 27 years (31.3%), and previous alcohol consumption (50%). Injuries physical were mainly extragenital (38.6%), anogenital (15%), or both, and most cases were mild in severity (97.5%). Recovery was less to one week (83.4%) and without aftermath (97.1%). When the victim showed aftermath (9 cases), the most frequent were psychological type (1.6%). Conclusions Physical injuries in sexual violence is related with circumstances of victim vulnerability: women, age between 18 to 27 years, and previous alcohol consumption. Our study shows that anogenital lesions are absent in a significative number of victims of sexual assault, so this absence cannot exclude sexual violence. The lesions found are mild in severity, and the absence of physical aftermath in most of the victims may be conditioned by the scarce follow-up of them. (AU)

Depression and post-traumatic stress symptoms two years post-rape and the role of early counselling: Rape Impact Cohort Evaluation (RICE) study.

Background: Survivors of sexual violence are at higher risk of adverse mental health outcomes compared to those exposed to other interpersonal traumas.Objective: To examine the trajectory of both post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression as well as the role of early counselling over 24 months among rape survivors.Method: The South African Rape Impact Cohort Evaluation (RICE) study enrolled women aged 16-40 years attending post-rape care services within 20 days of a rape incident (n = 734), and a comparison group (n = 786) was recruited from primary health care. Women were followed for 24 months; the main study outcomes were depression and PTSD. Reports of early supportive counselling by the exposed group were also included. The analysis included an adjusted joint mixed model with linear splines to account for correlated observations between the outcomes.Results: At 24 months, 45.2% of the rape-exposed women met the cut-off for depression and 32.7% for PTSD. This was significantly higher than levels found among the unexposed. Although a decline in depression and PTSD was seen at 3 months among the women who reported a rape, mean scores remained stable thereafter. At 24 months mean depression scores remained above the depression cut-off (17.1) while mean PTSD scores declined below the PTSD cut-off (14.5). Early counselling was not associated with the trajectory of either depression or PTSD scores over the two years in rape-exposed women with both depression and PTSD persisting regardless of early counselling.Conclusion: The study findings highlight the importance to find and provide effective mental health interventions post-rape in South Africa.

Metaanálisis de generalización de la fiabilidad de los mitos de violación / Meta-analysis of reliability generalization of the rape myths

Resumen Los mitos de violación son actitudes y creencias generalmente falsas, amplias y persistentes, acerca de la violación, la víctima y el agresor, que son utilizadas para negar o justificar la agresión sexual hacia las mujeres. En las últimas dos décadas, los instrumentos más utilizados para medir este constructo corresponden a la escala de aceptación de mitos de violación de Illinois (IRMAS), que utiliza expresiones directas y explícitas mediante un lenguaje clásico, y la escala de aceptación de mitos modernos de agresión sexual (AMMSA) que usa un lenguaje sutil, indirecto y moderno. Se realizó un metaanálisis de generalización de la fiabilidad de 69 estudios empíricos que utilizaron alguna de las dos escalas de mitos de violación. El objetivo fue estimar la fiabilidad media de las puntuaciones combinadas de las escalas IRMAS y AMMSA para obtener un valor aproximado de su fiabilidad general y evaluar el posible efecto moderador de algunas variables de interés. El promedio de la fiabilidad por consistencia interna de las puntuaciones de las escalas para las 98 muestras estudiadas fue de .85, IC95 % [.84, .86]. Se observó una alta heterogeneidad (I. = 96 %), y el número de ítems es la única variable moderadora que explica significativamente la variabilidad de la fiabilidad observada. Estos resultados muestran que ambas escalas presentan índices de consistencia interna aceptables en sus diversas aplicaciones. Por lo tanto, las medidas de aceptación de mitos de violación cumplen con los criterios de fiabilidad adecuados para ser utilizadas en investigaciones empíricas en distintos contextos.

Abstract Rape myths are widespread and persistent attitudes, beliefs, and stereotypes, usually false, about rape, the victim, and the perpetrator. Their function is to deny and justify sexual assaults against women, affecting the victim's attributions of responsibility and the perpetrator's attributions of guilt in rape cases. These myths exert a bias in the processing of information, directing attention and perception toward stimuli that justify the victim's responsibility for sexual aggression. These beliefs can be grouped into several types of myths: Myths that hold the victim responsible by arguing that women should be careful and not expose themselves to avoid sexual aggression, myths that justify and reduce the responsibility of the aggressor by stating that the man could not contain his sexual desire and those myths that deny or normalize sexual aggression, which propose that rape occurs only in very specific contexts. In the last two decades, the instruments most commonly used to measure these beliefs are The Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale (IRMAS), which uses direct and explicit expressions through classic language, and the Modern Sexual Assault Myth Acceptance Scale (AMMSA), where its expressions are modern, subtle and indirect. Considering the wide use of these instruments, it is justified to provide empirical evidence showing information on the psychometric properties of these scales. One of the procedures for synthesizing empirical results is meta-analyses (MA). This methodology can synthesize studies of specific variables and analyze the psychometric properties of the measurement instruments, providing relevant information on the quality of a given scale. Within this last type of RM are reliability generalizations (RG), those that study the reliability coefficients obtained in different applications of a scale, providing evidence on the properties of the measures used in measuring a construct. A meta-analysis of the RGs of 69 empirical studies that used any of the rape myth scales was performed. The objective was to estimate the mean reliability of the combined scores of the IRMAS and AMMSA scales to obtain an approximate value of their overall reliability and to assess the possible moderating effect of some variables of interest (e.g., research design, culture, sample type, etc.). The mean internal consistency reliability of the scale scores for the 98 samples studied was .85, 95 % C.I. [.84, .86] and the mean coefficient for each of the IRMAS and AMMSA scales was .84 and .85 respectively. All these values are above .80, a value established as satisfactory reliability of the instrument for general research. The Cronbach's alpha coefficients reported by the studies ranged from .71 to .98, with values considered moderate to excellent. These results show that both scales present acceptable internal consistency indices in various applications. There is high heterogeneity (I. = 96 %), with the number of items being the only moderating variable significantly explaining the observed reliability variability. This result was to be expected, given that the effect of test length on the estimation of reliability indices has a long tradition and is widely known in the psychometric literature.

Actitudes sexuales y violencia en estudiantes de la Universidad de Huelva / Sexual attitudes and violence in students of the University of Huelva

Introducción: Las actitudes sexuales están relacionadas con las normas y costumbres que se consideran adecuadas según la época en la que se vive; suelen ser más restrictivas para las mujeres. Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio es analizar de qué forma las actitudes sexuales (erotofilia-erotofobia y doble moral sexual) pueden predisponer hacia la violencia sexual (actitudes favorables a la violación). Material y métodos: La muestra está formada por 868 estudiantes de la Universidad de Huelva (723 mujeres y 145 hombres), con edades comprendidas entre los 17 y los 57 años. Se ha utilizado la Escala de Doble Moral, la Escala de Actitud Favorable a la Violación y la Encuesta Revisada de Opinión Sexual. Resultados: Las personas que se muestran más erotofílicas son las bisexuales (x̄=99,10) y las personas que se consideran de izquierda en política (x̄=96,91). Las puntuaciones más altas en doble moral las obtienen los hombres (x̄=18,50), estudiantes de máster (x̄=18,58), asexuales (x̄=20,50) y personas que se consideran de centro (x̄=18,24). En cuanto a actitudes favorables a la violación, se destacan los hombres (x̄=37,72), heterosexuales (x̄=33,29) y personas que se consideran de derecha (x̄=37,35). Las diferencias encontradas entre los grupos son estadísticamente significativas. Conclusiones: Se confirma que las actitudes sexuales pueden predisponer a la violencia sexual, lo que muestra la necesidad de seguir trabajando en esta línea para así fomentar experiencias sexuales placenteras. (AU)

Introduction: Sexual attitudes are related to the norms and customs that are considered appropriate according to the era in which one lives, usually showing themselves more restrictive for women. Objective: The aim of this study is to analyze how sexual attitudes (erotophilia-erotophobia and sexual double standards) may predispose to sexual violence (attitudes in favor of rape).Material and methods: The sample consisted of 868 students from the University of Huelva (723 women and 145 men), aged between 17 and 57 years. The Double Moral Scale, the Rape Favorable Attitude Scale and the Revised Sexual Opinion Survey were used. Results: People who are more erotophilic are bisexuals (x̄=99.10) and people who consider themselves left-wing in politics (x̄=96.91). The highest double standards scores are obtained by men (x̄=18.50), master's students (x̄=18.58), asexuals (x̄=20.50) and people who consider themselves centrist (x̄=18.24). In terms of pro-rape attitudes, men (x̄=37.72), heterosexuals (x̄=33.29) and people who consider themselves right-wing (x̄=37.35) stand out. The differences found between the groups are statistically significant. Conclusions: It is confirmed that sexual attitudes can predispose to sexual violence, which shows the need to continue working in this line in order to promote pleasurable sexual experiences. (AU)

Non-normal Data in Repeated Measures ANOVA: Impact on Type I Error and Power / Datos no Normales en el ANOVA de Medidas Repetidas: Impacto en el Error Tipo I y Potencia

Background: Repeated measures designs are commonly used in health and social sciences research. Although there are other, more advanced, statistical analyses, the F-statistic of repeated measures analysis of variance (RM-ANOVA) remains the most widely used procedure for analyzing differences in means. The impact of the violation of normality has been extensively studied for between-subjects ANOVA, but this is not the case for RM-ANOVA. Therefore, studies that extensively and systematically analyze the robustness of RM-ANOVA under the violation of normality are needed. This paper reports the results of two simulation studies aimed at analyzing the Type I error and power of RM-ANOVA when the normality assumption is violated but sphericity is fulfilled. Method: Study 1 considered 20 distributions, both known and unknown, and we manipulated the number of repeated measures (3, 4, 6, and 8) and sample size (from 10 to 300). Study 2 involved unequal distributions in each repeated measure. The distributions analyzed represent slight, moderate, and severe deviation from normality. Results: Overall, the results show that the Type I error and power of the F-statistic are not altered by the violation of normality. Conclusions: RM-ANOVA is generally robust to non-normality when the sphericity assumption is met.(AU)

Antecedentes: El diseño de medidas repetidas es uno de los más usados en ciencias sociales y de la salud. Aunque hay otras alternativas más avanzadas, el análisis de varianza de medidas repetidas (ANOVA-MR) sigue siendo el procedimiento más empleado para analizar las diferencias de medias. El impacto de la violación de la normalidad ha sido muy estudiado en el ANOVA intersujeto, pero los estudios son muy escasos en el ANOVA-MR. Por ello, el objetivo de este trabajo es realizar dos estudios de simulación Monte Carlo para analizar el error de Tipo I y la potencia cuando se incumple este supuesto bajo el cumplimiento de la esfericidad. Método: El estudio 1 incluye 20 distribuciones, tanto conocidas como desconocidas, manipulando el número de medidas repetidas (3, 4, 6 y 8) y el tamaño muestral (de 10 a 300). El estudio 2 incluye diferentes distribuciones en cada medida repetida. Las distribuciones analizadas representan desviación leve, moderada y severa de la normalidad. Resultados: En general, los resultados muestran que tanto el error Tipo I como la potencia del estadístico F no se alteran con la violación de la normalidad. Conclusiones: El ANOVA-MR es generalmente robusto a la no normalidad cuando la esfericidad se satisface.(AU)

Violência sexual e saúde mental de universitários: uma sistematização da literatura brasileira / Sexual violence and mental health of college students: a systematic review of Brazilian literature / Violencia sexual y salud mental de universitarios: una sistematización de la literatura brasileña

A presença da violência sexual nas universidades tem afetado diferentes esferas da vida de estudantes, inclusive a saúde mental. O artigo teve como objetivo investigar e categorizar os efeitos da violência sexual sobre a saúde mental de alunos/as, bem como identificar possíveis estratégias para lidar com o problema. Foi realizada uma sistematização da literatura brasileira dos últimos dez anos. Identificou-se que grande parte dos textos define a violência como um fenômeno sociocultural, e alguns explicam a violência a partir de definições jurídicas. Além disso, constatou-se que a violência sexual produz efeitos prejudiciais de ordem psicológica, física, acadêmica e inter-pessoal. Sobre as ações de enfrentamento, foi verificado que a maioria das intervenções mencionadas é remediativa. Por já estar instaladas e apresentar efeitos prejudiciais aos estudantes, as estratégias remediativas são necessárias para lidar com os problemas gerados na saúde mental das vítimas. No entanto, como a violência sexual foi considerada majoritariamente um fenômeno de natureza sociocultural, intervenções preventivas também são requeridas para que os determinantes responsáveis pela violência sexual sejam modificados. (AU)

The presence of sexual violence in universities has affected different spheres of students' lives, including their mental health. This paper aims to investigate and categorize the effects of sexual violence on the mental health of students and identify possible strategies for dealing with this problem. A systematic review of Brazilian literature from the past ten years was carried out. It was found that a large part of the texts defines violence as a sociocultural phenomenon, and some explain violence from legal definitions. In addition, it was found that sexual violence produces detrimental effects of a psychological, physical, academic, and interpersonal nature. As for the coping actions, it was found that most of the interventions mentioned are remedial. Because this type of violence is already installed and presents detrimental effects to students, reme-dial strategies are necessary to deal with the problems generated in the mental health of victims. However, as sexual violence was considered predominantly a sociocultural phenomenon, preventive interventions are also required so that the determinants responsible for sexual violence can be modified.

Además, se ha constatado que la violencia sexual produce efectos perjudiciales de orden psicológico, físico, académico e interpersonal. Sobre las acciones de enfrentamiento, la mayoría son interven-ciones de remediación. Debido a los efectos nocivos de la violencia sexual en los estudiantes, son necesarias estrategias de remediación para hacer frente a los diversos problemas que se generan en la salud mental de las víctimas. Sin embargo, como la violencia sexual fue considerada mayoritariamente un fenómeno de carácter sociocultural, también se requieren intervenciones preventivas para que se modifiquen los determinantes responsables de la violencia sexual.

This article aims to analyze violations of rights in the lives of young people in fulfillment with socio-educative measures of confinement. A survey was conducted with ten young people who fulfilled socio-educational measures of confinement in a city in the state of Paraíba. An individual unstructured interview addressing the daily life of young people in the confinement unit was used. The data were analyzed from the Thematic Content Analysis, organized in the thematic class Violations of rights during the fulfillment of the socio-educational measure, with the respective categories: Physical and psychological violence, Enclosure, Overcrowding, Neglect, Consequences of disciplinary action and Vexatious intimate search.

La violencia intrafamiliar como violencia de género en la pandemia por COVID-19 / Domestic violence as gender violence in the covid-19 pandemic

Desde el contexto general y local, la violencia de género, como parasol de las diferentes violencias en contra de las mujeres, sigue teniendo relevancia y se ha recrudecido en la coyuntura de la pandemia por el COVID-19. La pandemia y el posterior confinamiento global agudizaron no solo la impunidad de los agresores, sino también los componentes de violencia cultural, sometimiento y aislamiento de las mujeres dadas comúnmente antes, durante y después de una situación límite o un desastre que implique de manera macro a una parte de la población. Por este motivo, a través de esta revisión biblio-gráfica, se concluye que la pandemia por COVID-19 evidenció una violencia de género expresada como violencia intrafamiliar y facilitada por el confinamiento y la falta de acceso a la justicia colombiana

From the general and local context, gender violence, as the umbrella of the different forms of violence against women, continues to be relevant and has intensified in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic and the subsequent global confinement have exacerbated not only the impunity of the aggressors, but also the components of cultural violence, subjugation and isolation of women that commonly occur before, during and after an extreme situation or a disaster that involves part of the population in a macro way. For this reason, through this bibliographic review, it is concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic evidenced gender violence expressed as intrafamily violence and facilitated by the confinement and lack of access to Colombian justice

Diferencias de género en percepciones sobre violencia sexual, igualdad y agresiones sexuales facilitadas por drogas en ocio nocturno / Gender-based differences in perceptions about sexual violence, equality and drug-facilitated sexual assaults in nightlife contexts

La violencia sexual, incluyendo las agresiones sexuales facilitadas pordrogas, es un serio problema cada vez más común en los contextos de ocionocturno. Este trabajo estudia las actitudes y percepciones de la juventudespañola en torno a la violencia sexual en dicho ámbito. Los participantesse reclutaron mediante muestreo en bola de nieve. Se realizó un análisisbivariado para identificar posibles factores sociodemográficos y de ocionocturno relacionados con género. La significación estadística de lasdiferencias entre estas variables se evaluó mediante las pruebas de chicuadrado y exacta de Fisher. Las mujeres percibieron un menor nivelde seguridad personal, así como la existencia de percepciones socialesque penalizan en mayor medida el consumo de drogas femenino que elmasculino, y que culpabilizan a las mujeres por la violencia que sufren.Además, ellos mostraron mayor disposición a mantener relaciones sexualescon personas incapaces de otorgar su consentimiento debido a los efectosde las drogas. Los hombres creen en mayor medida que las agresionessexuales ocurren debido al uso de alcohol u otras drogas por parte delas víctimas. En el contexto de ocio nocturno, las mujeres son propensasa percibir la existencia de una falta de apoyo social hacia ellas, así comoun sentimiento de impunidad social hacia los agresores. Además, existennumerosas concepciones erróneas en torno a las agresiones sexualesfacilitadas por drogas. La mayoría cree que las agresiones ocurren trasla administración encubierta de sustancias a la víctima por parte de unagresor desconocido. Además, se subestimó la participación del alcohol.Nuestros hallazgos son útiles para diseñar esfuerzos preventivos biendirigidos, desmitificar el fenómeno de las agresiones sexuales facilitadaspor drogas y mejorar el apoyo social a las víctimas.

Sexual violence, including drug-facilitated sexual assaults, is a seriousissue that is becoming increasingly common in leisure nightlife contexts.This study provides information about the attitudes and perceptionsof Spanish youths towards sexual violence within that setting. Theparticipants were recruited by a snowball sampling scheme. A bivariateanalysis was performed to identify possible sociodemographic andnightlife recreational habit factors related to gender. The statisticalsignificance of the differences between the studied variables was assessedusing the chi-squared and Fisher’s exact tests. Women perceived a lowlevel of personal security, as well as the existence of social perceptionspenalizing female more than male drug use, and blaming women for thesexual violence they suffer. Women also recognised less explicit violentbehaviours as violence significantly more than men did. Men were morewilling to have sexual intercourse with someone unable to expressconsent because of drugs. In addition, they believed more strongly thatsexual assaults take place because of the victim’s use of alcohol or otherdrugs. In a leisure nightlife context, women are prone to perceive alack of social support for themselves and the feeling of impunity for theperpetrators. Furthermore, numerous misconceptions surround drugfacilitated sexual assaults, with the majority of respondents believingthat assaults happen after the surreptitious administration of substancesto the victim by an unknown assailant. Moreover, the involvement ofalcohol was underestimated. Our findings are useful for designingprevention efforts, demystifying the drug-facilitated sexual assaults andenhancing social support for victims. (AU)

Mulheres vítimas de violência sexual: rotas críticas na busca do direito ao aborto legal / Mujeres víctimas de violencia sexual: rutas críticas en la búsqueda del derecho al aborto legal / Women victims of sexual violence: critical paths in the search for the right to legal abortion

O aborto legal nos casos de gravidez resultante de estupro é previsto no Brasil desde 1940. No entanto, o acesso a esse direito ainda é muito restrito, havendo inúmeras barreiras que dificultam o acesso das mulheres aos serviços de referência que realizam o procedimento. Este artigo discute a trajetória das mulheres que realizaram aborto por estupro entre 2000 e 2018 em um hospital público de referência na cidade de Porto Alegre (Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil). Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, documental e retrospectivo, que utilizou o conceito das Rotas Críticas para compreender as dificuldades enfrentadas, as decisões tomadas diante da violência sexual e da descoberta da gravidez e as consequências oriundas dessa situação. Os dados foram coletados dos prontuários clínicos das mulheres, totalizando 127 casos. A partir da análise de conteúdo, foram traçadas três categorias que se inter-relacionam, sendo ordenadas de modo a explicitar a sequência de fatos, ações e intercorrências na vida das mulheres, de acordo com a dinâmica das rotas críticas produzidas: entre o segredo da violência e o silenciamento do direito; o adoecimento psíquico e a desorganização social; fluxos institucionais: validação da palavra e objeção de consciência. Percebeu-se que existe um silenciamento diante da violência sexual, sendo que a realização do aborto legal se mostrou um problema invisibilizado e cercado de estigmas. A desorganização psicossocial decorrente da violência foi agravada pela desinformação, pela precariedade das redes de atendimento e pela objeção de consciência dos profissionais.

Se admite el aborto legal en casos de embarazo resultante de violación en Brasil desde 1940. Sin embargo, el acceso a este derecho sigue siendo muy restringido, con muchas barreras que dificultan el acceso de las mujeres a los servicios de referencia que realizan el procedimiento. Este artículo discute la trayectoria de las mujeres que tuvieron abortos por violación entre 2000 y 2018 en un hospital público de referencia en la ciudad de Porto Alegre (Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil). Se trata de un estudio cualitativo, documental y retrospectivo, que utilizó el concepto de Rutas Críticas para comprender las dificultades enfrentadas, las decisiones que se adoptaron ante la violencia sexual, el descubrimiento del embarazo y las consecuencias derivadas de esta situación. Se recogieron datos de los historiales clínicos de las mujeres, con un total de 127 casos. A partir del análisis de contenido, se delinearon tres categorías que se interrelacionan, ordenándose para explicar la secuencia de hechos, acciones y complicaciones en la vida de las mujeres, de acuerdo con la dinámica de las rutas críticas: entre el secretismo de la violencia y el silenciamiento de la ley; la enfermedad psíquica y la desorganización social; y los flujos institucionales: validación de la palabra y objeción de conciencia. Se notó que hay un silenciamiento frente a la violencia sexual, y la realización del aborto legal demostró ser un problema invisibilizado y rodeado de estigmas. La desorganización psicosocial derivada de la violencia se agravó por la desinformación, las redes de atención precarias y la objeción de conciencia de los profesionales.

Legal abortion in cases of pregnancy resulting from rape has been provided for in Brazil since 1940. However, access to this right is still very restricted, and there are numerous barriers that hinder women's access to referral services that perform the procedure. This article discusses the trajectory of women who had an abortion due to rape from 2000 to 2018 at a public referral hospital in the city of Porto Alegre (Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil). This is a qualitative, documentary, and retrospective study that used the concept of Critical Paths to understand the difficulties encountered by the women, the decisions made in the face of sexual violence and the discovery of pregnancy, as well as, the consequences resulting from this situation. Data were collected from women's medical records, totaling 127 cases. Based on the content analysis, three interrelated categories were identified and subsequently ordered to explain the sequence of facts, actions, and complications in women's lives, according to the dynamics of the critical paths produced: Between the secrecy of violence and the silencing of rights; Psychological illness and social disorganization; Institutional flows: validation of the word and conscientious objection. We noticed that there is a silencing in the face of sexual violence, and the performance of legal abortion proved to be an invisible problem surrounded by stigmas. The psychosocial disorganization resulting from violence was aggravated by misinformation, the precariousness of the service networks, and the professionals' conscientious objection.

Tasa de fecundidad infantil y la paulatina no declaración de los progenitores en Costa Rica (2000-2019) / Infant fertility rate and the gradual non-declaration of parents in Costa Rica (2000-2019)

Resumen Introducción: la maternidad infantil debe evidenciarse por su propia naturalización social como producto de violaciones. Es relevante su estudio luego de aprobadas algunas leyes que buscan evitarla. Objetivo: analizar el comportamiento de la tasa de fecundidad en niñas entre 10 y 14 años en Costa Rica (2000-2019) y la edad de los perpetradores o «padres» en el marco de los aparatos ideológicos de Estado, desigualdad social y dentro de un contexto social conservador. Método: la información se extrajo de las bases de datos en línea del Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos. El abordaje es cuantitativo, con un estudio correlacional y no experimental de la población descrita en todo el país y en áreas geográficas pequeñas. Resultados: la fecundidad infantil ha disminuido entre los años 2000 y 2019. La edad estimada de embarazo es cuando se cumplen los 13 años. Se detectaron áreas geográficas con mayores niveles de fecundidad dentro y fuera del Gran Área Metropolitana. Se evidenció estadísticamente que algunas leyes han contribuido al aumento considerable de perpetradores no declarados luego de 2016. Todo esto fue validado por instituciones religiosas y los medios de comunicación lo pregonaron como positivo, a pesar de la jurisprudencia nacional e internacional. Conclusiones: esta información es trascendental para orientar las políticas públicas educativas y de salud desde el primer nivel de atención, con miras a promover los derechos reproductivos de las niñas.

Abstract Introduction: Child motherhood must be evidenced by the naturalization of this social fact itself, since it is the product of rape. The study of this phenomenon is relevant after the approval of some laws that seek to prevent it. Objective: to analyze of the fertility rate in girls between the ages 10 and 14 in Costa Rica (2000-2019) the age of the perpetrators or "parents" within the framework of ideological State apparatuses, social inequality, and a conservative social context. Method: The information was processed from the online databases of the Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos. The approach is quantitative, with a correlational and non-experimental study of the population of girls between 10 and 14 years of age throughout the country, as well as for small geographic areas. Results: Infant fertility has decreased between 2000 and 2019. The estimated age of pregnancy is at the age of 13. Geographical areas with higher fertility levels are detected, inside and outside the Metropolitan Area. It is statistically evidenced that these have contributed to the increase in undeclared perpetrators considerably after 2016. All this is validated by religious institutions and the media proclaim as positive, despite national and international jurisprudence. Conclusions: This information is essential to guide public educational and health promotion policies from the first level of care, which promote the reproductive rights of girls.
