Abstract
Introduction This systematic review synthesizes research on post-aggression factors influencing the PTSD symptoms of gay male victims of physical or sexual aggression. Method Four databases with specific key words were systematically searched. Articles published between 1973 and 2022 focusing on adult gay men, PTSD symptoms, sexual or physical aggression experiences and post-aggression factors were included. Risks of bias and study characteristics were examined for cross-sectional studies. Results The search led to the inclusion of 26 articles containing five domains of post-aggression factors significantly associated with PTSD, i.e., cognitive, social, coping strategies, emotional and gay identity. Conclusion Clinical implications are discussed.
