Tiivistelmä
This thesis is a descriptive literature review aiming to investigate the psychological well-being of women who have been sexually exploited. The Literature searches were administered using the following databases: DIAK Finna, Taylor & Francis Social Science and Humanities Online Library, Ebsco E-book Academic Collection and eBookCollection.
The literature search was aimed for material having been published between 2000-2020. Eventually four different research articles focused on specifically to the research topic were chosen for further analysis. Content analysis was carried out to further investigate the data presented by the articles.
Analysis of the data produced three concepts as results of how the psychological well-being of women in sexual exploitation can present: Dealing with trauma, Self-destructive behavior and Mental health problems. It appeared that mental health, in particular, can be widely affected by various issues around the experiences of sexual exploitation. Much more specifically targeted research and clinical research together with training is needed to further establish the most effective service delivery for the individual needs of this people group.
