Summary
This study reviewed eHealth solutions for sexual assault survivors, finding they are generally well-received and beneficial. Further research is needed to ensure these digital health tools are accessible and effective for everyone.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Digital Health
- Mental Health Support
Background:
- Efficient psychosocial support for sexual assault survivors is crucial.
- eHealth (electronic health) solutions are increasingly vital for this support, particularly post-COVID-19.
- Systematic research synthesis on eHealth for sexual assault survivors is lacking.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically synthesize existing research on eHealth interventions for sexual assault survivors' psychosocial needs.
- To identify current eHealth applications and their effectiveness in supporting survivors.
- To highlight gaps in research and clinical practice.
Main Methods:
- A systematic scoping review methodology was employed.
- Searched five major databases (CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, MEDLINE, Scopus) for studies from 2010 onwards.
- Included empirical studies on eHealth for survivors aged 13+ using keywords like 'sexual assault' and 'eHealth'.
Main Results:
- 85 studies were included from 6,491 screened records.
- Innovative eHealth applications for sexual assault survivors are prevalent globally.
- Survivors generally report positive experiences and perceive benefits from eHealth interventions.
Conclusions:
- eHealth offers promising avenues for supporting sexual assault survivors.
- Current evidence suggests positive survivor experiences and benefits.
- Further clinical and empirical work is essential to enhance accessibility and effectiveness of digital health solutions for all survivors.
