  OBXECTIVOS: Coñecer a violencia sexual e as diferenzas en función do sexo.

  MATERIAL E METODO: Estudo descritivo transversal sobre a poboación alvo de 646 estudantes de todas as titulacións do Campus de Ourense, no curso 07-08, a quen se lle aplicou un inquérito estruturado, voluntario e anónimo para coñecer variábeis sociais e relacionadas coa violencia sexual. Os datos analízanse co programa SPSS/15.

  RESULTADOS: A idade media é de 20.86 anos (DT= 2.19) e o 29.39% é home.

  O 3.4% afirmou ter sido vítima de abuso sexual, o 0.6% telo sido de violación e o 3.6% de asedio sexual. Non encontramos diferenzas significativas (p>.05) entre ambos sexos nas variábeis estudadas de abuso, violación e asedio, salvo na referida á frecuencia do asedio, onde si hai (p<.05).

  CONCLUSIÓNS: Aínda que os resultados lanzan porcentaxes pequenas de violencia sexual, esta segue a existir e a ser relevante. Os profesionais da saúde debemos desenvolver programas que reduzan este risco sexual, encamiñados tanto cara as vítimas como cara as persoas que agriden.

  MATERIALS AND METHOD: A cross descriptive study on the target sample made up of 646 students of all degrees from Vigo University, Orense Campus. They all voluntarily and anonymously answered a structured survey designed to identify social variables related to sexual violence. The data were analyzed with the program SPSS/15.

  RESULTS: The mean age of the student body is 20.86 years old (SD= 2.19), being the 29.39% males. 3.4% of the student body reported having been victims of sexual abuse, 0.6% of rape and 3.6% of sexual harassment.

  We did not find significant differences (p>.05) between sexes in the variables of abuse, rape and harassment studied except for the mentioned frequency of harassment where there are in fact differences (p<.05).

  CONCLUSIONS: Even though the results show low percentages of sexual violence, this exists and keeps on being relevant. Health professionals must develop programs to reduce this sexual risk focused both on victims and abusers.
