| Summary: | This qualitative research aims to explore and identify the challenges, coping strategies and needs of Malay statutory rape survivors in a shelter home. Qualitative design was used in exploring the experiences of statutory rape survivors through in-depth interviews. The sample involved a total of three respondents consisting of teenagers who experienced statutory rape previously and are currently staying and getting treatment at one rehabilitation centre in the Klang Valley. The interviews were recorded, reported verbatim, compiled and interpreted immediately after the field survey. Major themes were derived from the thematic analysis and information obtained from the research questions. This study indicate that rape survivors face physical, psychological as well as emotional challenges. Hence, to overcome these challenges, both emotion and problem-focused coping strategies are practiced by the survivors. Both coping strategies indicated that they are able to help maintain the physical and psychological well-being of survivors. Furthermore, the study also indicates that there are several needs necessary for the survivors such as health services, beneficial programmes in shelter home and social support. All the information gathered are beneficial to provide protection, rehabilitation as well as to promote the health and well-being of survivors. |
