摘要

目標：瞭解基隆市國民中學在學學生之性騷擾受害經驗，並探討性騷擾受害經驗與身心適應之關係。方法：以自行發展之結構式問卷為工具，針對基隆市國民中學，以班級為單位隨機抽出75班，由訪員至班級教室施測，學生以不具名方式填答，回收1,846份有效問卷為本次分析樣本。性騷擾受害經驗係依據美國大學婦女協會(簡稱AAUW)之建議分別詢問八種性騷擾狀況，「曾發生性騷擾事件且覺得不舒服」視為有性騷擾。以BSRS-5測量身心適應狀況(分為良好、輕度、中度、重度情緒困擾四類)。使用多分類邏輯斯迴歸進行統計分析。結果：（1）過去一年至少發生過一項以上的性騷擾受害經驗之整體比率為46.9%，沒有性別差異；（2）整體而言，調整性別、因應方式及其他壓力狀況後，性騷擾受害經驗者發生輕度及重度情緒困擾之比率分別是無性騷擾受害經驗者1.65及2.28倍，性騷擾受害經驗與身心適應狀況之關係因性騷擾類型及性別而異。結論：將近半數國中學生自述在過去一年曾有過性騷擾受害經驗，且此經驗與其身心適應有顯著相關，建議公共衛生及教育單位應關心性騷擾受害學生後續之身心適應狀況，並適時提供相關之輔導。此結果可作為衛生及教育單位進行性騷擾防治計畫之參考。

Objectives: The purposes of this study were to determine the prevalence of sexual harassment victimization (SHV) among junior high students and to analyze the relationship between SHV and psychological distress. Methods: Trained interviewers went to randomly selected junior high school classrooms in Keelung City, and administered a structured questionnaire to collect data anonymously. A total of 2,282 students took the survey but 1,846 were excluded due to incomplete data. Sexual harassment was defined as a situation with sexual overtones that felt uncomfortable (American Associaction of University Women, AAUW). The BSRS-5 was used to measure coping strategies and to classify psychological distress as none, mild, moderate, or severe. Polytomous logistic regression was used to analyze the data. Results: Almost half (46.9%) of the students experienced at least one episode of sexual harassment in the previous year. There was no gender difference in this. After adjustment for gender, coping style, and other stressful conditions, victims of sexual harassment had higher rates of mild and severe psychological distress, 1.65 and 2.28 respectively, than did the non-victims. The relationships between SHV and psychological distress varied with SHV type and gender. Conclusions: Nearly half of junior high students in Keelung City experienced sexual harassment in the previous year and there was a significant relationship between sexual harassment and psychological distress. Health and education authorities need to develop effective strategies to prevent sexual harassment in the schools.
