Sexual coercion affects approximately 58% of college-age females. Victims of sexual coercion often share similar characteristics, such as lower self-esteem, lower assertiveness, higher depressive symptoms, higher alcohol use, increased number of sexual partners, more romantic relationships, prior victimization, and relationship insecurity. Female athletes, on the other hand, have in common such protective factors as higher self-esteem, higher assertiveness, lower alcohol use, and fewer sexual partners. These, then, are assumed to guard against sexual coercion. The purpose of this study was to determine if female athletes were at a lower risk for sexual coercion and whether differences existed in levels of assertiveness, sexual assertiveness, self-esteem, sexual esteem, alcohol use, and the number of sexual partners. Participants included 174 college females (aged 19.94 ± 1.87 years). Participants were identified as an athlete if they reported a history of at least three years of athl iation etic involvement and described themselves as either a high school athlete or having participated in competitive sports (n=125). From among all the participants, 49 were classified as non-athletes. Data demonstrated no differences in either forced or coerced sexual contact history. Athletes and nonathletes differed neither in global nor sexual self-esteem, nor did they differ in global or sexual assertiveness. There was a significant difference across the groups in alcohol use: athletes scored higher on the AUDIT than non-athletes. The number of years of sport involvement positively correlated with the level of alcohol use. Athletes and non-athletes reported similar numbers of sexual partners. The findings of this study imply that athletics may indirectly place females at risk for sexual coercion through an assocwith higher alcohol use.

Wstęp. Oczywistym jest, że altruizm, współczucie i asertywność to pojęcia, które mają bezpośredni związek z zawodem pielęgniarki. Co więcej, altruizm, empatia i asertywność to wartości, które muszą być pielęgnowane przez pielęgniarki w rozwijaniu tożsamości zawodowej podczas ich edukacji. Profesjonalne wartości i postawy promują również rozwój cech zawodowych, w tym definicje opieki i tożsamości zawodowej. Celem tego badania jest określenie związku pomiędzy altruismem, empatią a asertywnością u studentów pielęgniarstwa. Cel. Celem tego badania jest określenie związku pomiędzy altruizmem, empatią a asertywnością u studentów pielęgniarstwa. Materiał i metody. Jest to badanie opisowe. Badanie zostało przeprowadzone wśród 659 studentów pielęgniarstwa na wydziałach pielęgniarskich kolegiów zdrowia dwóch uniwersytetów w regionie Centralnej Anatolii w Turcji. Dane zostały zebrane za pomocą kwestionariusza osobowego , skali altruizmu , Empathic Tendency Scale i Ruthus Assertiveness Inventory W analizie danych zastosowano rozkład procentowy, średnie odchylenie standardowe, analizę korelacji i analizę ufności. Wyniki. Średni wynik oceny altruizmu studentów wynosił 62,69 ± 11,35,ich średnia skłonność do empatii/ średnia cena postawy empatycznej wynosi 66,25 ± 11,05, a ich średnia ocena Ruthus Aseriveness Inventory 7,36 ± 15,52. Stwierdzono dodatnią liniową i statystycznie istotną korelację między altruizmem a postawami empatycznymi/skłonnością do empatii studentów , którzy wzięli udział w badaniu (r = 0,181, p = 0,000) oraz między ich altruizmem a poziomem Assertiveness Inventory Ruthus (r = 0,186, p = 0,000). Wnioski. Wraz ze wzrostem skłonności do empatii studentów i ich asertywności wzrasta również poziom ich altruizmu.
