The incidence of child sexual abuse has risen sharply in recent years, becoming a significant social issue that deeply concerns both the public and the government.This issue leaves a profound impact on the individuals involved, particularly the victims of sexual abuse.Therefore, it is crucial to address the issue of child sexual abuse with immediate attention, ensuring that all parties understand the psychological effects experienced by victims, their coping mechanisms, and the moral support they require.The primary aim of this study is to examine the psychological effects experienced by child sexual abuse victims, the coping strategies they adopt, and the support they receive from rehabilitation institutions.To achieve these objectives, group interviews will be conducted with five child sexual abuse survivors.The purpose of these interviews is to gather feedback from the respondents regarding their personal experiences.This study will involve five sections of the survey: Section A focuses on demographic information, Section B covers the events and chronology of the abuse, Section C explores the psychological effects experienced by the victims, Section D examines the coping mechanisms employed by the victims, and Section E investigates the forms of support the victims have received.The data obtained from the respondents will be analyzed according to the established procedures, and the researcher will classify each item into three levels: minimum, moderate, and critical.The findings of this study reveal that the psychological effects and coping mechanisms of the victims tend to fall under the critical level, while the support received by the victims is categorized as minimal.
