However, the extent of sexual victimisation in old age psychiatry patients is unknown.

The participation rate was 58%. We applied the WHO definition of SV, encompassing sexual harassment, sexual abuse with physical contact without penetration, and (attempted) rape.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In 57% of patients (65% F, 42% M) SV occurred during their lifetime and 7% (6% F, 9% M) experienced SV in the past 12\u2010months. Half of the victims disclosed their SV experience for the first time during the interview. Only two victims had disclosed SV to a mental health care professional before.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Sexual victimisation appears to be common in old age psychiatry patients, yet it remains largely undetected. Although victims did reveal SV during a face\u2010to\u2010face interview to a trained interviewer, they do not seem to spontaneously disclose their experiences to mental health care professionals. In order to provide tailored care for older SV victims, professionals urgently need capacity building through training, screening tools and care procedures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/gps.5565","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,10]],"date-time":"2021-05-10T00:28:53Z","timestamp":1620606533000},"page":"1550-1558","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["\u2018Breaking the silence\u2019: Sexual victimisation in an old age psychiatry patient population in Flanders"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"36","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0596-1225","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anne","family":"Nobels","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health and Primary Care International Centre for Reproductive Health, Ghent University  Ghent Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1707-0254","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ines","family":"Keygnaert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health and Primary Care International Centre for Reproductive Health, Ghent University  Ghent Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Egon","family":"Robert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health and Primary Care International Centre for Reproductive Health, Ghent University  Ghent Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9714-7006","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christophe","family":"Vandeviver","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Criminology, Criminal Law and Social Law Ghent University  Ghent Belgium"},{"name":"Research Foundation\u2014Flanders (FWO)  Brussels Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"An","family":"Haekens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Psychiatric Hospital Alexianen Zorggroep Tienen  Tienen Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lieve","family":"Lemey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Psychosomatic Medicine AZ Sint\u2010Jan Bruges\u2010Ostend AV  Bruges Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marieke","family":"Strobbe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Psychiatric Hospital Karus  Melle Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5546-5380","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nele","family":"Van Den Noortgate","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geriatric Medicine Ghent University Hospital  Ghent Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7532-6350","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gilbert M.
