Abstract(s)
Ainda existem poucos estudos em Portugal sobre a violência sexual no ensino superior e, face às percentagens de vitimização de violência sexual nas estudantes universitárias internacionalmente, este estudo tem como principal objetivo avaliar a situação da violência sexual em Portugal, tentando perceber as suas consequências, fatores de risco e a existência de programas de prevenção e intervenção neste tipo de violência, bem como a eficácia dos mesmos.
A amostra neste estudo é composta por 104 estudantes universitários com idades superiores a 17 anos que responderam a um questionário online. As variáveis neste estudo foram avaliadas com o instrumento “Violence Prevention Survey”.
Os resultados obtidos demonstram que 4.8% da amostra foram vítimas de violência sexual e 1.9% foram perpetradores, bem como uma percentagem de 40.4% de vítimas de violência no namoro e 27.9% de perpetradores desta mesma violência. Foram encontradas consequências da violência sexual a nível académico, físico e emocional. Foram considerados fator de risco para perpetração de violência sexual aceitar os mitos da violação (p>0.005) e as afirmações da discriminação das mulheres (p<0.001). Metade da amostra não participou em qualquer programa de prevenção e intervenção na violência.
Pode concluir-se que é urgente aplicar programas de prevenção e intervenção na violência de forma a formar os jovens o significado de consentimento, prevenindo a existência de agressores e ensinando os que rodeiam a vítima como intervir se necessário.
There are still few studies in Portugal on sexual violence in colleges and, given the rates of sexual violence victimization in college students internationally, this study aims to assess the situation of sexual violence in Portugal, trying to understand its consequences, risk factors and the existence of prevention and intervention programs in this type of violence, as well as their effectiveness. The sample in this study is composed of 104 college students over 17 years old who answered an online questionnaire. The variables in this study were evaluated with the “Violence Prevention Survey” as instrument. The results show that 4.8% of the sample were victims of sexual violence and 1.9% were perpetrators, as well as 40.4% were victims of dating violence and 27.9% were perpetrators of sexual violence. Consequences of sexual violence were found at academic, physical and emotional levels. Accepting the myth rapes were considered a risk factor of perpetrating sexual violence (p> 0.005) as well as the discrimination against women (p <0.001). Half of the sample did not participate in any violence prevention and intervention program. In conclusion, it’s urgent to implement prevention and intervention programs in violence in order to educate young people the meaning of consent, preventing the existence of aggressors and teaching those around the victim how to intervene if necessary.
