Women are at a higher risk of sexual assault, partly due to societal sexism. This scoping review addresses the question: What is known about the psychosocial consequences of sexual assault on women? To understand these impacts, various studies were reviewed. Searches were conducted in Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, PsycArticles, and PsycINFO between April and May 2022. The methodology followed Arksey and O’Malley’s (2005) framework. PRISMA guidelines were used for screening and the Scoping Reviews Checklist was employed to ensure the quality of the review process. As a result, 1744 studies were identified, and 21 were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, with publication years ranging from 1997 to 2021. The total sample of women analyzed across these studies was 20,071 (M = 955.76; σ = 2236.53). These 21 studies examined the psychosocial consequences of sexual assault on women's lives. The primary psychosocial outcomes identified were depressive symptoms (n = 13), anxiety symptoms (n = 11), post-traumatic stress disorder (n = 11), alcohol dependence (n = 6), and sleep disorders (n = 3). In conclusion, this review enhances our understanding of the effects of sexual assault on women and identifies areas for future research to further understand and address this phenomenon. This work can ultimately guide efforts to improve the well-being of survivors.

女性遭受性侵犯的风险更高，部分原因是社会性别歧视。本范围综述解决了以下问题：关于性侵犯对女性的社会心理后果了解多少？为了了解这些影响，我们回顾了各种研究。2022 年 4 月至 5 月期间在 Web of Science、PubMed、Scopus、PsycArticles 和 PsycINFO 中进行了检索。该方法遵循 Arksey 和 O'Malley （2005） 的框架。使用 PRISMA 指南进行筛选，并采用范围审查检查表来确保审查过程的质量。结果，确定了 1744 项研究，其中 21 项是根据纳入和排除标准选择的，出版年份从 1997 年到 2021 年不等。在这些研究中分析的女性样本总数为 20,071 （M = 955.76;σ = 2236.53）。这 21 项研究考察了性侵犯对女性生活的社会心理影响。确定的主要社会心理结局是抑郁症状 （n = 13） 、焦虑症状 （n = 11） 、创伤后应激障碍 （n = 11） 、酒精依赖 （n = 6） 和睡眠障碍 （n = 3）。总之，本综述增强了我们对性侵犯对女性影响的理解，并确定了未来研究的领域，以进一步理解和解决这一现象。这项工作最终可以指导改善幸存者福祉的努力。
