臺灣女性性暴力倖存者創傷後成長探究

Post-traumatic growth experiences of survivors of female sexual violence in Taiwan

本研究旨在探討2023年#MeToo運動再起背景下，臺灣女性性暴力倖存者的創傷後成長（post-traumatic growth, PTG）經驗。研究採質性方法，透過立意與滾雪球取樣31位女性倖存者進行深度訪談，並以主題式分析法分析其創傷敘說之經驗。研究發現倖存者展現八大創傷後成長面向：（1）個人優勢的肯認與發展；（2）與情緒的重新連結；（3）與創傷經驗連結重建自我；（4）感恩與生命欣賞；（5）建立信任關係與人際連結；（6）靈性層面的探索與擴展；（7）能動性的提升；（8）展現自主性與行動力。此八面向除部分呼應西方文獻常見之五大PTG面向，亦呈現臺灣文化脈絡的在地轉化，顯示PTG為一融合情緒、關係與社會實踐的歷程，其中社會#MeToo運動與制度資源可及性，對倖存者重構主體性具關鍵影響。理論上，本文主張拓展PTG於臺灣脈絡之詮釋與模型建構；實務上，倡議以「充權—連結」為核心之創傷知情取向；政策上，強調需建構具連續性與文化敏感度的性創傷支持體系。研究盼為臺灣性暴力倖存者復元實務與後續跨文化研究提供在地實證基礎。

This study explores the post-traumatic growth (PTG) experiences of survivors of female sexual violence in Taiwan during the resurgence of the #MeToo movement in 2023. While trauma often leads to psychological distress, this research highlights how survivors may also undergo positive transformation. Using a qualitative design, in-depth interviews were conducted with 31 survivors recruited through purposive and snowball sampling. Thematic analysis identified key domains of PTG in their narratives. Eight major themes emerged: (1) recognition of personal strengths, (2) emotional reconnection, (3) renewed self-awareness through trauma, (4) gratitude and appreciation for life, (5) rebuilding trust and relational bonds, (6) spiritual exploration, (7) enhanced agency, and (8) autonomy and decision-making. These domains reflect PTG as a dynamic, culturally embedded process shaped by both internal coping and external support. The #MeToo movement and increased societal dialogue enabled survivors to reclaim their voice, reduce stigma, and foster collective resilience. This study contributes to the relevant theories by expanding PTG beyond Western models and emphasizes the importance of trauma-informed practices rooted in empowerment and connection. Policy implications include strengthening culturally responsive, sustainable trauma support systems. This research provides a grounded framework to inform future practice and cross-cultural PTG studies.
