N2  - It is estimated that over 6600 children under the age of 16 years are sexually abused each year in England and Wales (NSPCC, 1990). Of these incidents, 78% involve female children and 22% male children. The effects on the child range from self-mutilating behaviour and dissociative disorders to suicide. Consequently, nurses caring for victims of sexual abuse need to be aware of the trauma involved.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
