Abstract

Indonesian localization of Female Sex Workers (FSW) was one of the largest in Southeast Asia, which has been taken by the government since 2014. The impact of mental health disorders has not yet been reported. This study aimed to compare the anxiety disorder among ex-FSW and non-FSW. This was a study to compare the prevalence of anxiety disorders among ex-FSW compared to non-FSW, located in ex-localization in Surabaya, Indonesia. Seventy-five participants met inclusion criteria and were gathered on December 10th, 2022 to complete Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) tests. The results showed that 16,67% of participants (n=12) were found with clinical anxiety scores. Among them, 41,67% ex-FSW (n=5) and 58,33% non-FSW (n=7). The prevalence of anxiety disorder, also the total BAI score, compared to the work history of FSWs and non-FSWs were found not associated (p>0.05). The anxiety disorder was found higher in the non-FSW group than ex-FSW group. But there was no difference found in the prevalence of anxiety and the BAI score between ex-FSW and non-FSW.
