Evaluation sommaire d'une formation destinee aux intervenants sociaux et aux infirmieres qui travaillent aupres de personnes victimes d'agression sexuelle dans les centres designes de la region de Lanaudiere.

摘要

This thesis evaluates the development of psychosocial based intervention with victims of sexual assault within a designated center situated in the Lanaudiere region. This center offers forensic and psychosocial services within five days following a sexual aggression. However, a critical review of the literature reveals that training geared to this specific issue is not available in French. So as to better compensate, a group of six nurses and four psychosocial professionals from the center were offered training specifically developed. A testing method was used prior to and following the training session to evaluate overall program. The data collected was then subjected to non-parametrical statistical analysis. The results revealed that the training sessions had both positive impacts in regard to the participants and their practice but showed little influence on their pre-existing general knowledge of the sexual assault phenomena. Within this context, continued research based on the training of the professionals in designated centers is recommended.
