- Abstract: Sexual trauma is a national public health concern due to the alarming rates at which it occurs and decades of research supporting its long‐term deleterious effects on health outcomes. We assessed the impact of gender norms and sexual trauma on power within sexual relationships among Latina immigrant farmworkers. At baseline, participants ( N = 175) completed a survey examining demographic information, sexual trauma history, and gender norms; a follow‐up was administered 6 months later. Past sexual trauma was associated with less power in sexual relationships, r = −.25, p < .001, as was endorsement of traditional Latina gender norms (i.e., marianismo ): sexual relationship control, r = −.38, p < .001; sexual decision‐making dominance, r = −.21, p = .005. In contrast, egalitarian gender norm endorsement was associated with higher levels of sexual relationship control, r = .37, p < .001, and sexual decision‐making dominance, r = .17, p = .023. Gender norms moderated the association between sexual trauma and sexual relationship power. Specifically, women who subscribed more to marianismo and reported sexual trauma had less decision‐making dominance in sexual relationships, whereas those with lower ratings of marianismo reported higher levels of decision‐making dominance despite sexual trauma, R 2 = .03, p = .022.

Resumen: Spanish Abstracts by Asociación Chilena de Estrés Traumático (ACET) Asociaciones entre trauma sexual y control de relaciones sexuales en granjeras latinas inmigrantes: El rol moderador de las normas de género TRAUMA SEXUAL Y NORMAS DE GÉNERO El trauma sexual es una preocupación nacional de salud pública debido a las alarmantes tasas de ocurrencia y a décadas de investigación que demuestran sus efectos nocivos en el largo plazo en la salud. Evaluamos el impacto de las normas de género y el trauma sexual en el poder dentro de las relaciones sexuales en granjeras latinas inmigrantes. En línea base, las participantes ( N = 175) completaron una encuesta que examinaba información demográfica, historia de trauma sexual y normas de género; la evaluación de seguimiento fue administrada 6 meses después. El trauma sexual pasado estuvo asociado con menor poder en las relaciones sexuales, r = ‐.25, p <.001, así como también lo fue el apoyo a las normas de género tradiciones de Latinas (i.e., marianismo ): control en las relaciones sexuales, r = ‐.38, p < .001, dominio en la toma de decisiones sexuales, r = ‐.21, p = .005. En contraste, la aprobación de normas de genero igualitarias estuvieron asociadas con altos niveles de control en la relación sexual, r = .37, p < .001, y dominio en la toma de decisiones sexuales, r = .17, p = 0.23. Las normas de género moderaron la asociación entre trauma sexual y poder en la relación sexual. Específicamente, mujeres que suscriben más al marianismo y que reportaron trauma sexual tenían menos dominio en la toma de decisiones en las relaciones sexuales, mientras que aquellas con menores niveles de marianismo reportaron mayores niveles de dominio en la toma de decisiones sexual a pesar del trauma sexual, R 2 = .03, p = .022. La historia de trauma sexual en conjunto con mayores niveles de aceptación de normas de género igualitarias estuvo asociadas con altos niveles de control en las relaciones sexuales D R 2 = .02, p = .023. Estos resultados resaltan la importancia de la investigación con consideraciones culturales para aumentar la salud sexual y global de poblaciones vulnerables (ej., granjeras latinas inmigrantes). 抽象: 簡體及繁體中文撮要由亞洲創傷心理研究學會翻譯 JOTS‐19‐0118.R4 Fava Associations Between Sexual Trauma and Sexual Relationship Control Among Latina Immigrant Farmworkers: The Moderating Role of Gender Norms Traditional Chinese 標題: 拉丁美洲女性移民農民中, 性創傷及性關係控制的關連:性別規範的調節作用 撮要: 性創傷是全國性的公共健康問題, 因為受性創傷的人數之多令人震驚。過去幾十年來, 亦有不少研究證明其對人的健康帶來長遠和有害的影響。我們評估在拉丁美洲女性移民農民中, 性別規範及性創傷對性關係中的權力的影響。樣本 ( N = 175) 在基線完成了有關人口資訊、性創傷經歷及性別規範的問卷調查。我們於六個月後作跟進調查。結果顯示, 曾有性創傷跟在性關係中權力較弱有關 ( r = ‐.25, p < .001) ;跟隨傳統拉丁文化的性別規範 (聖女女性模範) 跟以下相關:性關係權力 ( r = ‐.38, p < .001) 、性關係決策主導 ( r = ‐.21, p = .005) 。相反, 相信性別平等的人, 跟在性關係裡有更強控制 ( r = .37, p < .001), 及性決策主導 ( r = .17, p = .023) 有關。性別規範對性創傷和性關係權力的關連有調節效應。特別地, 較跟從聖女女性模範及曾受性創傷的人, 在性關係裡有較低的決策主導權;而較不跟從聖女女性模範的人, 即使曾受性創傷, 在性關係裡卻有較高的決策主導權 ( R 2 = .03, p = .022) 。曾經歷性創傷及相信更平等的性別規範, 跟有較高的性關係控制有關 (D R 2 = .02, p = .023) 。研究結果凸顯, 為了改善脆弱人口 (如拉丁美洲女性移民農民) 的性健康及整體健康, 進行了解文化的研究之重要。 Simplified Chinese 标题: 拉丁美洲女性移民农民中, 性创伤及性关系控制的关连:性别规范的调节作用 撮要: 性创伤是全国性的公共健康问题, 因为受性创伤的人数之多令人震惊。过去几十年来, 亦有不少研究证明其对人的健康带来长远和有害的影响。我们评估在拉丁美洲女性移民农民中, 性别规范及性创伤对性关系中的权力的影响。样本 ( N = 175) 在基线完成了有关人口信息、性创伤经历及性别规范的问卷调查。我们于六个月后作跟进调查。结果显示, 曾有性创伤跟在性关系中权力较弱有关 ( r = ‐.25, p < .001) ;跟随传统拉丁文化的性别规范 (圣女女性模范) 跟以下相关:性关系权力 ( r = ‐.38, p < .001) 、性关系决策主导 ( r = ‐.21, p = .005) 。相反, 相信性别平等的人, 跟在性关系里有更强控制 ( r = .37, p < .001), 及性决策主导 ( r = .17, p = .023) 有关。性别规范对性创伤和性关系权力的关连有调节效应。特别地, 较跟从圣女女性模范及曾受性创伤的人, 在性关系里有较低的决策主导权;而较不跟从圣女女性模范的人, 即使曾受性创伤, 在性关系里却有较高的决策主导权 ( R 2 = .03, p = .022) 。曾经历性创伤及相信更平等的性别规范, 跟有较高的性关系控制有关 (D R 2 = .02, p = .023) 。研究结果凸显, 为了改善脆弱人口 (如拉丁美洲女性移民农民) 的性健康及整体健康, 进行了解文化的研究之重要。 … (more)
