Abstract

Objective: Substantial evidence demonstrates the physical, mental, and social health disparities experienced by sex trafficking survivors (STSs) in the United States. The limited exploration of disordered eating symptomology in STSs is a notable gap in understanding their health needs, especially considering the known link between exposure to trauma and disordered eating. One purpose of this study was to document the occurrence of disordered eating in a sample of STSs. This study also examined the unique effect of the sex trafficking experience, separate from other traumas, in explaining disordered eating directly and indirectly through mechanisms of self-objectification, including self-surveillance and body shame.

Method: Survey data related to sex trafficking status, disordered eating, self-surveillance, body shame, and discrimination were collected from 180 nontrafficked women and 113 trafficked women.

Results: Findings reveal that STSs reported higher rates of disordered eating than their nontrafficked counterparts, with 74% of STSs demonstrating clinically significant disordered eating. Additionally, when controlling for general trauma and subjective socioeconomic status, trafficking status, self-surveillance, and body shame explained 56% of the variance in disordered eating.

Conclusions: These results have implications for future research and clinical work with STSs, which will be instrumental in mitigating the impact of the sex trafficking epidemic plaguing women in the United States. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

性交易幸存者的饮食失调:物化理论在极端物化经验中的应用。
目的:大量证据表明,在美国,性贩运幸存者(STSs)经历了身体、心理和社会健康方面的差异。在了解STSs的健康需求方面,对饮食失调症状的有限探索是一个显著的差距,特别是考虑到暴露于创伤和饮食失调之间的已知联系。本研究的目的之一是记录STSs样本中饮食失调的发生情况。本研究还考察了性交易经历与其他创伤不同的独特影响,通过自我物化机制(包括自我监视和身体羞耻)直接或间接地解释了饮食失调。方法:收集180名未被拐卖妇女和113名被拐卖妇女的性交易状况、饮食失调、自我监控、身体羞耻和歧视等调查数据。结果:研究结果显示,与非贩运的同行相比,STSs报告的饮食失调率更高,74%的STSs表现出临床显著的饮食失调。此外,当控制一般创伤和主观社会经济地位时,贩运状况,自我监视和身体羞耻解释了56%的饮食失调差异。结论:这些结果对未来的性传播感染研究和临床工作具有重要意义,这将有助于减轻困扰美国妇女的性贩运流行病的影响。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2023 APA,版权所有)。
