Cultural development and validation of a group-based Somatic Experiencing® intervention for Indonesian women survivors of sexual assault with PTSD symptoms: a mixed-methods study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Sexual assault affects approximately 35.6% of women globally. In Indonesia, one in three women aged 15-64 has experienced physical and/or sexual violence, often resulting in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). While evidence-based PTSD treatments exist, they often face limitations in cultural relevance and applicability in low-resource settings. Somatic Experiencing®, a body-oriented trauma therapy, has shown promise across diverse populations, yet remains underexplored among Indonesian women survivors. Objective: This study aimed to develop a culturally adapted, group-based SE® intervention tailored for Indonesian women survivors of sexual assault. Method: A mixed-method, cross-sectional design was employed for this Phase 1: Development and Cultural Validation Study. The development process followed the Generalized Model for Program Planning, encompassing needs assessment, goal setting, intervention design, module creation, translation, and cultural validation using the Cultural Relevance Questionnaire (CRQ). Expert reviewers provided both quantitative and qualitative feedback to refine linguistic, conceptual, and cultural fit. Results: The adapted intervention demonstrated high levels of cultural relevance: linguistic ( Conclusion: This study represents Phase 1 of a three-phase research program to establish a culturally grounded, group-based Somatic Experiencing® intervention for Indonesian women survivors of sexual assault. This Phase 1 study focuses exclusively on intervention development and expert-based cultural validation. With Phase 2 (feasibility and pilot) successfully completed and the Phase 3 RCT protocol published, the program provides a rigorous, sequential foundation for evaluating the clinical effectiveness of SE in low-resource, collectivist contexts. Feasibility, participant acceptability, and clinical effectiveness are addressed in subsequent phases of the research program.
